1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

By Emily Kaine

Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says a Coalition government will seek to make savings by cutting back on NDIS, aged care and childcare, as he argues spending on the schemes is out of control.

The anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed
to have discovered it ('De re anatomica,"1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo "the love or sweetness of Venus." It had been known earlier to women.

“as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine, and violent occupation” - Aaron Rowe pulling out of Ed Sheeran The Loop tour🇵🇸Free Palestine🇵🇸
aaronrowe_
I have made the decision to withdraw as a support act for Ed Sheeran's 'The Loop' North American Tour.
I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this.
But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation.
I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children.
I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.
I need to be true to myself and my ancestors who resisted colonisation, and fought for a freedom that I enjoy today in Ireland.

Politicians like Anthony Albanese say stuff like "now is not the time to discuss climate" in the wake of fossil-fuelled disasters because they know that **there is no single better time** to talk about it, and his fossil fuel donors know that too.
News article screenshot headlined "Climate change a debate for later, PM says on Nepal floods," showing a serious middle-aged man wearing glasses and a light-blue button-up shirt outdoors against blurred trees.
PRIME MINISTER: Look, I think on Nepal, there will be time to examine the science and what has occurred here. My thoughts are solely focused, at this point in time, on the families and on the extraordinarily difficult time that we’re going through and offering our support to Nepal. And we'll continue to do that. Those debates will take place. But I don't think, from Australia's perspective, now's the time. My focus is very much on people who are incredibly traumatised by not knowing what has happened to their loved ones.
