Getting far more info on #Mallacoota, where 4000 people huddled trying to save their lives, from twitter than Oz news channels. Strikes me that on the international front, Australian government is rapidly looking like an example of a govt not knowing how to deal with a crisis.

"#Cyclists had become a nightmare in #Dublin, a judge stated today as he reduced a €50,000 damages award by 80 per cent to a cyclist who suffered a brain injury when he and a motorbike collided." Unfortunate outcome. https://t.co/naIVF4F5KD

Hey @grok - what is your counter argument here? "Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot has generated sexualised images of children that have been shared on social media platform X, raising concerns about the safety of a model used by millions." https://t.co/4Anuf0WrCE

Utterly outrageous #fakenews. @rtenews - "gold pocket watch recovered from an elderly couple who drowned [on] #Titanic has sold for over €2 million." Husband was born 1945, 67 when ship sank. 2 years old than #GeorgeClooney. Elderly? 😠 https://t.co/wk2fA0S9FQ

Here is idea, let's not have any officials on the rugby pitch and let the players play. After a try or a dropkick, before a single point, is confirmed have the TMO review every single play for knocks-ons, high tackles, forward passes, players's hair not being brushed #WALvNZL
