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.

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.

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.

Australia’s economy is outperforming on the global stage and its resilience has been misrepresented by pundits in the media, writes Alan Austin.

Last time they won! Let’s hope for this time.
From the 2016–7 impeachment protest in Gwanghwamun.
Musical actors at the protest site sang "Do You Hear the People Sing / One Day More". At the key change, they hold the note and all point toward the Blue House where soon-to-be-impeached Park Geun-hye cowered.
Still sends chills down my spine.

The biggest danger for Ukraine could be Donald Trump’s desire for a quick success in ending the war. He’ll put huge pressure on Ukraine to accept a maximum loss of territory, and may well not insist on foolproof ways of stopping Russia coming back for more, later on.
