Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

6 million Qantas customer records have been stolen: credit card details, customers’ pins fortunately not included. This nevertheless is outrageous. We won’t have a digital economy unless people can trust online engagements with all businesses.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years.
Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

A chilling reminder that American science denial does not just affect people in the US, it kills people globally.

Oh man! Love Zali telling Speers how ‘inappropriate’ it is that the media talks about Community Independents by referencing how they get some of their funding: “You don’t talk about the Liberals as being the party funded by Gina Rinehart.” Might play it on a loop for the rest of the day 😁 #auspol

Opinion | It seems that alienated voters love the idea of overturning the system — until someone starts doing exactly that. But minority governments offer another way, writes Bernard Keane.
People like the idea of disrupting political norms — until it happens. But this election offers a better way
Now that voters have seen what it's like when a real disruptor is given power, where do the resentful and the alienated turn? Minority government provides an answer.

Take a close look at Dutton’s face while he is questioned by a journalist. This is the face of a man who has not once in public life shown empathy, compassion, kindness, or generosity. He has a cold dead heart. Trump is showing that psychopaths like Dutton are DANGEROUS in govt #DontRiskDutton

Today drilling for gas under the Barossa project off the coast of Darwin was approved.
That's 274mil tones of emissions from one of the dirtiest gas projects in the 🌏
More than 100x emissions from the 🇦🇺 electricity system.
Our approvals system is broken. We need urgent reform.
