Bob Carr on ABC News says that Iran's meagre response to the attacks by Israel and US clearly demonstrates that Trump's justification that Iran "was going to attack if we didn't do it' was false.

Israeli ambassador says it’s β€˜mind-boggling’ to question legal basis for war on Iran Israel’s new ambassador says Australia was on the β€œright side of history” by backing strikes against Iran as he warned against calls for a ceasefire.

"Israel’s new ambassador to Australia says it is mind-boggling anyone would question the legality of the US-Israeli strikes against Iran"

it is mind-boggling that this propagandist for a genocidal apartheid rogue state is cited as an authority on international law.

Bibi did it without consequences in Palestine so of course he and Trump are going to do it in Iran.

This is right up there with Scott Morrison's lump of coal and Pauline Hanson wearing a burqa.
Neither of those incidents wrapped the perpetrators in glory, they just show what smartarses they are.

The mask slipped during Karoline Leavitt’s press conference on Iran Leavitt is one of the smoothest operators in the Trump administration. But today, she was flustered from the start β€” and it only got worse when she opened for questions, reports Holly Baxter

I think when Trump said Keir Starmer is no Winston Churchill he meant Keir Starmer is no Tony Blair.

Can we have a story like this without MIRACLE lazily stuck in the headline.

It is not a miracle, it is the result of long, hard work by unseen scientists.

Panic in Beirut suburbs as Israel launches air strikes In another escalation of the wider war against Iran, thousands of Lebanese families fled their homes after Israeli forces warned them of a wave of bombing to target Hezbollah groups.

At least Bibi is letting them take their cars.
He made the Palestinians leave on foot.

He's right that Tucker isn't smart enough but he's smarter than Trump. Which is not saying much.

In Canada they have large cell phone parking areas at major airports.
People can wait here for 45 to 60 minutes free of charge.
When the passengers are ready to be picked up they ring the person waiting for them.

I just heard on News Breakfast that ACCC is investigating fees for car parks at airports.
In Sydney more than 50% of the fee is pure profit.
In Brisbane 77% of the fee is profit!
