Major improvements for both Higgins and Wilkinson in the appellate court finding on Lehrmann’s appeal.
I've just finished reading the judgment in the Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court and a few points really stuck out - apart from the fact that the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was an absolute fabrication.
Lisa Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ＆ unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas ＆ violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ＆ fierce solidarity.

Appalling. You are right. Netanyahu & his cabal cannot be allowed to get away with it and most importantly it has to be stopped.

I agree. I’m the US it is the system that is wrong. In Australia, we have an independent commission that both supervises the districting based only on population and demographic changes and also runs the election for the whole country. Rarely any complaints and then only minor.

I think the 75% figure specifically applies to Victoria in the 15 years post its colonization. Not diminish the horror of it, and there was no doubt as bad or worse in other areas, but just to get it right.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy suspends UK-Israel trade negotiations and summons the Israeli ambassador over IDF actions in Gaza, which he says are "incompatible with the principles that underpin our bilateral relations" and an "affront to the values of the British people."

5 huge climate opportunities await the next parliament – and it has the numbers to deliver
In its previous term, Labor laid the groundwork for stronger climate action. Now, in an expanded majority government, it has the chance to capitalise.

Right. SOS I see. The original appended article was from 2018 and she didn’t win that time and as explained earlier, I am far from convinced the will this time even though the libs have often won the 3rd spot.

Thanks. The article you appended to your earlier post was from 2018 and about the 2019 election. The latest one does say she will be the in the 3rd candidate spot for this upcoming election which I agree is alarming and shows how much the Libs in WA are still controlled by the Clan (which, btw …

I could have it wrong but clicking through from the article you posted revealed that she stood for them at the 2019 election (& lost) but not at the 2022 one, nor does it seem she is standing this time. I agree with your general point but she seems to have disappeared into the woodwork (I hope)

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off.
That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.
