Ley's resignation presents Libs with a sharp choice right at the outset. The final three candidates will probably be #Liberal, One Nation and independent, and Libs might run third. Do they chase the racist vote and preference One Nation or maintain some credibility and go for independent. #auspol

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink
Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

If the NSW government has any interest in maintaining faith with its own public, it will ask the DPP to investigate police actions on Monday night without NSW Police involvement, with a view to prosecuting the cops who committed assaults. Or it can carry on blaming the victims; Minns' choice.

Guns too precious I guess. Trumps other people’s safety.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli refuses to accept the Qld Coroner's Wieambilla inquest recommendation to have mental health assessments for new firearms licenses. It's now left to Qld's health professionals who are forced to report to police their patients assessed of harm. #qldpol

Another painting by Epstein Network survivor Maria Farmer from the recently released files.
Maria was screaming to the FBI to be heard for years, and sent them paintings.

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

The Liberal's death spiral began in 2007 when Howard lost govt & his own seat & Costello piked out. Between 2013 & 2019 they were on life support, with News Corp operating the defibrillator. Morrison & esp Dutton proved they had lost all relevance. With Ley and Taylor we've entered the zombie era.

The coalition/throupolition would need to win 20 seats at the next election to be competitive, 28 to take government.
