Ella, the nation's best-travelled greyhound, visits Moonta Bay, South Australia. Moonta, famous for its blue swimmer crabs & endless beaches, is the place where @aaronsmith333.bsky.social once deployed his drone, throwing air traffic control at the local airstrip into utter chaos ... #TravelsOfElla

Exclusive Brethren leader calls
Jews 'wicked', 'infidel' as Liberals remain silent
By Michael Bachelard and Sherryn Groch
September 26, 2026 - 5.00am
The world leader of the Exclusive Brethren church, which ran a covert campaign supporting the Coalition at the last federal election, has described Jews as evil, malicious infidels who are unable to ever atone for the sin of killing Jesus.
Leaked church records spanning more than two decades reveal Bruce Hales, the church's leader and
"Elect Vessel", repeatedly preaching to his 56,000-stong global flock that Jews are beyond redemption.
"The poor Jew, still in the darkness of Judaism, trying to atone for the things they've done wrong; their lies and their iniquity, and their wickedness," Hales, the Brethren's "Man of God", said in 2009.
