20 years ago today, Sirengate.
Was there for @theheraldsun in what was supposed to be a routine gig.
Filed 6-7 stories front and back of paper and could taste a beer in a dark, lonely press box around 8pm when the phone rang.
It was the general news desk at the Hun.
“They’ve found those miners alive can you get up to Beaconsfield and cover it?”
Beers had to wait.

@DaveThatch55 @_InfoGram_ Yeah, but they weren't and the USA hasn't fundamentally changed the situation. All they've done is make Iran more determined.

BREAKING🚨: This will remain EPIC 🔥
🇺🇸Trump : 🇮🇷 Iran cannot be the sole beneficiaries of an illegal, unlawful tolling and control of the straits.
🇺🇸US Senator: But the SOH was already OPEN and FREE before the war? So what was the point of whole war?

@Acyn 2 options:
He knew and he's lying
He isn't lying and he's an idiot

@SchickMom @Variety That would ve true...if it wasn't for all of the many photos to the contrary.
English

@Variety Kimmel is an idiot! They went to a lot of parties (admittedly) where Epstein was sometimes there, but they were not friends. This is just pathetic.
English

Jimmy Kimmel aired a photo of Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together after the First Lady made a public address to say she's "never been friends with Epstein."
"While you’re explaining how much you didn’t know Epstein, any particular reason you can think of that he had a picture of you guys on display at his house?" Kimmel quipped. "Maybe this is the photo that came with the frame, I don’t know. I, for one, when I see this, I think, well, these two don’t know each other at all!"
Donald Trump later said he did not know about Melania's address ahead of time, prompting Kimmel to quip: “Shows you just how smoothly things are running over there. She must really hate him. I don’t know how else to explain it.”

@NinosKhamo @maddenifico Leader of the free world? He's not my leader, champ. Do you really believe that tripe?
English

@maddenifico Politics is not part of the pontiff’s role. He has no right to comment on what the leader of the free world’s policies.
Trump doesn’t tell him how to run his papacy.
Trump is saving Iranian lives. The Iranian regime is killing their own citizens.
English

Holy shit! The Free Press is reporting that Cardinal Christophe Pierre was summoned to the Pentagon and rudely lectured (threatened) by an official that the U.S. military has the power to do "whatever it wants" and that Pope Leo and the Vatican should think twice about opposing Trump.
Tensions have apparently grown so severe that Pope Leo, the first-ever U.S. born pontiff, refused to accept Trump’s invitation to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary. One Vatican official put it bluntly: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration."

@Susan16Park Coming from an Australian? You have no idea what China has done to the world. Nixon should have left them in the Stone Age.

@strangerous10 This will be the pattern nationally come the next election. One Nation candidates will be exposed one by one.

80 Years to choose her. 276 Days to dump her.
The new Liberal leader’s core challenge is brutally simple: most voter groups no longer support his party, Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, basically every major demographic cohort in the country.
But the warning lights are flashing brightest in two places, where support is down in the low single digits: young women and Gen X.
Gen X is the first cohort to really buck the old political and social orthodoxy and it shows up in how they relate to parties and institutions.
They are a generation formed by disruption, not stability. Gen X are often described as the “latchkey” generation, shaped by higher rates of dual-income households and divorce, and a general expectation of self-reliance. That tends to produce lower baseline trust in institutions and less automatic loyalty. These traits are higher outside large urban cities.
Less “rusted on” by default. Australian Election Study reporting (summarised by the Parliamentary Library) shows clear generational differences in first preferences, with younger cohorts (including Gen X vs Boomers) materially less Coalition-leaning, and a broader pattern of major-party dealignment over time.
The broader Western pattern: across established democracies, research finds each successive generation since the Boomers has tended to be more likely to break away from supporting established right-of-centre parties (even after accounting for age/life-cycle effects). That’s consistent with Gen X being a “break” cohort rather than a Boomer clone.
Oh and on women, the party carries an extra burden of credibility. It took the Liberal Party around 80 years to appoint a female leader and then removed her after 276 days. Aside from young women rejecting the Liberal Party, as in they have never voted for it, Liberal voting Gen X women are the biggest group to have shifted since December to One Nation.
