The ABC in Australia reports this as international news. 6 people hurt in provincial USA? Really?At a time of deadly war in Ukraine, Russia & Gaza, international defence tensions, climate disasters in Europe and Canada, deaths in police custody in Australia? ABC needs to wean itself off Americana.
Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Did he run and lose at the election to increase his superannuation payout? Other senatorial duds like Rennick seem to do this on the way out.
The results in Victoria have confirmed independent senator David Van has lost his seat
Van did not campaign, receiving just 554 votes (0.01%) while running below the line
He left the Liberals in 2023 in the wake of allegations of inappropriate behaviour, which he has denied

It should be possible to relocate those islands with just a few Sharpie strokes.
#EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump's steep 29% tariff imposed on Norfolk Island, and tariffs on remote islands with no human habitation, appear to have been calculated based on mislabelled shipments, instead of their correct countries of origin, @australia.theguardian.com can reveal.
Not that Norfolk! Mislabelled shipments led to Trump tariffs on uninhabited islands and remote outposts with no US trade
Exclusive: Aquarium systems, Timberland boots and recycling plant parts were mislabelled as coming from remote Norfolk Island or Heard and McDonald islands

NEW DIY AUSTRALIAN FLAG
If you just can't bear waiting for a new All-Australian Flag , you should try this one simple trick.
Buy a pot of blue paint, and an 'Australian' Flag .
Paint over everything that isn't Australian.
The result isn't elegant, but it will still be 33% more Australian!

TOWARDS AN ALL-AUSTRALIAN FLAG
With Brisbane’s Olympic Games in 2032, we have time to unite the nation under a single All-Australian Flag in our national colours of Green & Gold.
Eliminating the anachronistic Union Jack will celebrate modern Australia. The change will be as plain as day & night.

CHANGE THE AUSTRALIAN FLAG
Our national flag was designed 120 years ago in Britain's national colours, red white & blue, with the Union Jack dominating the Canton. This told the world that Australia was a British Dominion. We are now totally independent, so why is a foreign nation's flag on ours.

Flag Wars again!
Dutton won't stand in front of the Australian Aboriginal or TSI flags- but he'll happily celebrate the flag of a foreign nation in position of dominance on our flag.
In 1901 the Union Jack was placed in the canton to tell the world that Australia was a British Dominion.
