right to defend itself = right to destroy every piece of civilian infrastructure within 250km of Israel apparently

It was either America or Israel that bombed my neighbourhood in Baghdad tonight.
The most likely target was a TV channel belonging to a pro-Iran Iraqi Shi'a militia.
The target was missed and a civilian house was hit instead.
I am so so so so so mad!

Today in #T4/Illawarra line fun and games, there are no trains running between Sutherland and Cronulla, and, to mar your day even more exciting, a freight train has derailed outside Sutherland, closing the line past Oatley. #SydneyTrains

a chart showing high new EV sales (close to 100% for 2025) but slow change in usage, registration and emissions drops

a chart showing high new EV sales (close to 100% for 2025) but slow change in usage, registration and emissions drops

Norway is at ~100% EVs for new sales, but 7 out of every 10km driven in 2024 was reliant on fossil fuels. Cars stick around for decades - so change is slow.

Protecting ppl from fossil fuel crises means EVs, yes, but *fast deep cuts* means huge $$ in public and active transport. Speed matters!

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat β€” even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

What will Australia's relaxed fuel standards mean for consumers at the pump? The federal government's temporary easing of fuel standards will see 200 million litres of "dirty" fuel injected into the domestic market. Should drivers be worried?

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network β€œAdvance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US.

This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.

The Iran War Is Good News for the Kremlin Some commentators claim the U.S.

Regardless of any benefits Russia derived from cooperating with Iran in the past, America's war with Iran is clearly good news for the Kremlin.

Laura Tingle: β€œHis first statement was not televised or audio-recorded, but rather read out on Iranian television. The good news was that he said Iran believes in friendship with its neighbours. The bad news was he said all US bases in the region should be immediately closed or would be attacked.”

What you need to know about Iran today, with Laura Tingle The ABC's global affairs editor, Laura Tingle, is in Dubai and will provide daily updates on the Middle East war.

β€œOil: Images of burning ships and oil apocalyptic. The economic, geopolitical story is grim. Iran appears to have further tightened its grip on world oil market β€” striking 6 ships in past day or so as they sit, vulnerable, near Tehran-controlled Strait of Hormuz.” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

How Iran’s fightback surprised the US Tehran has done β€˜more with less’ as it hit major targets around the Gulf, but its firing has begun to wane

It's almost like they weren't lying about building a garrison state to fight an eventual US invasion for the last 35 years

Interesting comparisons drawn between Vietnam and Iran who both widened the war. Tactically clever. Probably beyond US to combat that move. Spent some weeks in Hanoi and enjoyed walking around observing the obvs pride still evident in the people. Smart move by Iran against an overweight bullying US.

Not surprised Marie.

Laura Tingle: β€œThis war increasingly feels like a contest between an "all hardware, no strategy" United States and a "less hardware, lots of strategy" Iran, at least as far as the war of words is concerned.”

This represents Iran’s strategy of horizontal escalation. #auspol
