Few believe Iran has nuclear weapons. We can’t afford to repeat the Iraq War lie
theage.com.au
Benjamin Netanyahu continues to insist that Iran is on course to produce nuclear weapons within weeks. Meanwhile, he omits that Israel itself has its own substantial nuclear program.

Bless you, Ross Gittins. Always strident and insightful

If you want to govern effectively, you have to be prepared to stand up to powerful interest groups. It’s now clear Albanese isn’t prepared to do that.

Absolutely shocked/stoked (shoked?) to have a story shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards! It’s a new one about a wannabe writer who survives the apocalypse by accident, and then travels a wasteland in search of readers for his excruciating memoir. https://t.co/Thi2YkrEJH

Shocking and heartbreaking Once healthy creeks in the Sydney catchment have become dead zones. Now scientists know why

New research provides scientific evidence that longwall mining is draining endangered upland swamps, eroding water quality and creating fire risk.

Actually Andre was my first editor when I wrote the environment column for @VoiceworksMag maybe 15 years ago. Amazing to see his work being recognised like this, and his speech on Palestine should unsettle complacent, gutless politicians who continue to defend weekly atrocities

This is an extraordinary short story collection by Katerina Gibson. Highly recommended. Insightful, kaleidoscopic, flows like a dream.
