Some context for Trump's recent statements re: Iran talks. Hate to be a cynic but: Trump has been calling talks between Russia and Ukraine 'productive' and 'almost there' for over a year now. And what has happened there #context

Extremely important work here exposing a shameful fact of everyday life in contemporary Vic. @cameron_muncey

How does Victoria’s underfunding of public schools impact children, families, teachers, and the broader community? That’s the question we’re hoping to answer on Thursday at the first hearing of the parliamentary inquiry into Vic Labor’s $2.4 billion public school cuts. (1/4)

How does Victoria’s underfunding of public schools impact children, families, teachers, and the broader community?

A Royal Commission is tempting. But there is a far better and more long-lasting answer. theconversation.com/heres-how-to-i…

Schools and teachers in Victoria receive the lowest share of funding in Australia per capita. And now we see billions of taxpayer dollars given to organised crime and bikies in the Victoria construction sector. What can and should we do to get accountability?
English
So we are left with a Vic govt referral to a watchdog that did not have the authority to actually investigate. Real accountability???

Parliamentary Cmtee also called for this powers to be given to IBAC in 2017.

As we investigate the CFMEU scandal in Vic (and seek to learn its lessons), it is important to track closely the role of IBAC in this inquiry. Allan referred the scandal to IBAC on 15 July. premier.vic.gov.au/statement-prem…

Yet another example of why constitutions matter in authoritarian contexts.

Or at the very least the Russians will accept nothing less than the Finlandisation of Ukraine

Sergey Lavrov’s recent statement should be taken seriously. A few days ago, the Russian Foreign Minister told journalists: “Proposals for a settlement that are based on the objective of preserving a Nazi regime in the part of Ukraine that will be called as such are, of course, absolutely unacceptable.” In recent weeks, senior Russian officials have become increasingly explicit in stating that the objective is regime change. As I’ve said before, this is not about installing a puppet government in Kyiv; it is about creating institutional conditions in which “anti-Russia” forces are simply ruled out. That aim is reflected in Russia’s political demands to Ukraine. Again, this is not about territory—it is about all of Ukraine, not through physical control, but through institutions. As @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff arrives in Moscow today, I want to draw attention to how strikingly far apart the Russian and American positions are on any Ukrainian peace plan. What is remarkable is the extent of Russia’s efforts to ensure that this fundamental disagreement does not damage its relations with Trump.

Impact will likely be felt much less on great power interactions and more in regional conflicts and disputes. These smaller disputes will be far more likely to be resolved w violence

We now have a date for when the international law norm against the use of force (Article 2.4 of the UN Charter) lost any remaining force.

After Day 1, Barney Ronay on England seeming 'to euthanise their own innings out of existence, which is one of those things people will talk about coming back to bite you.' Not a bad way to make sense of yesterday's cricket. theguardian.com/sport/2025/nov…

@kevinkfyam For 7, Broad was really good I thought and Ponting always very interesting as well. Vaughn and Junior the cream of the Fox crop in my view

@kevinkfyam Hayden or Warner? Pick your poison was my thinking

So I switched to Channel 7 for most of its commentary team, but Matthew Hayden is SO BAD that one is tempted to switch back to Fox just to avoid Hayden. #Ashes
