The pack of durries and what looks like an old fashioned.

@KirstyLNeedham Nice one

Many people thought the Tigers might not win a game all season. Instead, they won their very first game, beat Damien Hardwick, and won interstate. Year one of the rebuild went very well. What does year two have in store? My Richmond season preview: onepercenters.net.au/p/2026-afl-sea…

“While Europe 🇪🇺 and Canada 🇨🇦 have an option to pivot to the Asian superpower 🇨🇳 to enhance their own strategic autonomy, the same can’t be said for America’s frontline partners in Asia – most notably the Philippines 🇵🇭 and Taiwan 🇹🇼 . If anything, for leaders in Manila and Taipei, China represents a primary national security threat. Trump’s open infatuation with China’s Xi Jinping, and his cavalier attitude towards allies and international law, will only reinforce a sense of insecurity among frontline Asian partners that both depend on “iron-clad” American military support as well as a rules-based international order.” lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Trump hands Beijing a gift: nervous Asian allies | Richard Javad Heydarian ift.tt/FaXOxrd

@gerryshih You did, best wishes for what's next.

It was a privilege to be a Post correspondent, roaming the world the last 7+ years for a paper I very much believed in. I'm gone along with the rest of the ME team and majority of teammates from Delhi to Beijing to Kyiv & Latam. Sad day, but it was a lot of fun and we raised hell

@MikeMillerDC @washingtonpost Best wishes for the next phase, Mike.

It was an honor to be @washingtonpost's first Sydney bureau chief. Unfortunately, I'm also the last. The paper is shrinking foreign coverage. I've lost my job. Worse, millions of readers will lose my colleagues' brilliant coverage. At a time of tumult, we need more info, not less

@KiwiTiger12 He wishes.

@danielflitton You are the "Konrad Marshall of political timeline analysis".

I've contributed to a new book, The First Albanese Government: Governing in an Age of Disruption and Division, 2022-2025 - grateful to the editors for the chance to step back from the daily commentary cycle. newsouthbooks.com.au/books/the-firs…

@SecurityScholar You did the hard part!

Shout out to @danielflitton for quick turnaround and helpful edits!

Australia 🇦🇺 and Indonesia 🇮🇩 turn momentum into a concrete treaty—but Indonesia stays true to its nonaligned roots. What does this mean for regional security and AUS-Indo ties? My take for @LowyInstitute's Interpreter: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete… @verve_research #ververesearch
