Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

on ABC 702 they are interviewing the murdoch reporter who published the leak and triggered the hysteria as he who “broke the story”. He is being asked what the arrested suspects hoped to gain from the “chaos” - which was caused by politicians and editors.

And definitely not an Australian charity promoting the erasure of a people and/or ethnic cleansing.

Some context re: Dutton's share trades.
Rudd made a public announcement of bank guarantees - announced on 12 October 2008. SMH reckons it was worth $700B.
Dutton's declared a number of trades in Nov, Dec (2008) and Jan (2009) ditto Feb and Mar
The Rudd Govt announcement of 24 Jan was worth $4B.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness.
If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

I fully support the calls for tougher hate speech laws but draw the line at rushing through extreme measures like mandatory sentencing as it sets a dangerous precedent.

Re-writing criminal laws because of votes in specific marginal seats feels like the worst possible way to do things.
