"Minns says ‘no silver bullet’ for shark attacks after third incident in two days".
Yeah there is - the same solution he has for every problem. Give police more powers and ban the sharks from protesting.

"Critics have been targeting Israel, the IDF and Netanyahu, not Jewishness or Jews. That’s not antisemitic."
But that clear distinction is cynically blurred by the Israel lobby, and vocal supporters in the media and political establishment.
Such as Malinauskas.

Gory sausage making at the Labor knackery
“Social coherence” is being invoked everywhere, but public trust is fraying. Political panic, rushed laws and weak leadership are deepening division, not repairing it.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

Editorial: The Albanese government approved the clearing of 57,199 hectares of threatened species habitat last year. Double the rate of approved clearing in the previous year and five times the rate of approvals the year before that. satpa.pe/5auYhXb
Dead parrot sketch
It is difficult to know which numbers are the more appalling, the very large ones or the ones that are tragically small. Is it the scale of the destruction of threatened species habitat approved by the Albanese government, or is it the fact that the surviving population of night parrots could be counted by most children under 10?

#BREAKING Lionel Richie has given me one of his Grammys. Mr. Richie told reporters he had made the presentation “as a recognition for Patrick’s unique commitment to dancing on the ceiling.” I in turn called it a “a wonderful gesture”

We have a crisis of leadership at so many levels, and you only need to look at theocratic and repressive states to see that harsh, arbitrary rules and punishment do not make a society safe or harmonious.

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.
