Australia’s 000 failures: Why your phone may fail to call Triple Zero The regulatory and industry failures behind Australia’s Triple Zero outages were not only foreseen, they are entirely rectifiable.

'To most people, the idea a device needs a software update to work for an emergency call is a completely foreign concept.'

Cartoon on Putin and Orban

Pope Leo XIV said he had “no fear of the Trump administration” after President Trump lashed out at him on social media.

In today’s Weekend Herald

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a living room where a mother is watching the evening news while two toddlers play happily and constructively on the floor - drawing, facilitating tea parties and building cooperatively with wooden blocks. On the TV screen is Donald Trump, mid-yell, waving his hands, throwing a tantrum of some kind. The toddlers observe this behaviour and one says to the other, "Frankly, I'm beginning to resent the comparison."

Unfair.

Donald Trump and the Iran War path to madness On Easter Sunday, Trump warned that a 'whole civilisation will die tonight'  if Iran refused his latest demands.

'Iran, faced with the bullying demands of a crazed war monger with his fingers hovering over the nuclear codes, has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.'

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing the Earth in a hospital bed, hooked up to a monitor and a drip. The monitor, measuring adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones registers erratic dips, troughs and spikes which are a match for President Trump's signature. The IV drip, labelled "patience" is running out. Over Iran and the Straight of Hormuz are a couple of basic bandaids, labelled "2 weeks". Not pictured is anyone in a position of authority doing anything meaningful to fix the root cause of the ailment.

Hypertension.
