Sorry but this is just silly. I’ve known Speers for more than two decades. Travelled the world, watched him do live broadcasts as all kinds of political events and crises have unfolded. I’ve not seen a better journalist.

Trump steers America into a ditch but shush, don’t tell the media…

Canada is home to the second-largest Sikh community in the world.

This Sikh Heritage Month, we celebrate the generations of Sikh Canadians who have contributed to our shared prosperity, strengthened our communities, and helped build a stronger Canada.

So many great people came through 2SER. And now the Uni of Technology is threatening to have it shuttered. It's dire. I'll have a petition page for you in the next day or so. We'd love your suupport.

Thanks Robbie!

Have the conflicts in Iran & Ukraine demonstrated the limits of great power aggression?

He promised to ‘make America great again’ but has only weakened it at home and abroad.

Exactly. Dudes sitting in SUVs obsessed by their phone, engine running. Sometimes, right in front of outdoor tables. Arrogance. Wastage. Indifference.

There is a growing chorus of people pleading with major news outlets to stop sane-washing the #US President in their coverage.

What happens when egotistical fools and dilettantes are given their heads…

HEARTY congratulations Zena. They are very lucky to have you. As are we at ANU.

Thanks mightily!

It is an odd response to shift rightward after your electoral base has moved the other way. It might work for the Nats - who see One Nation as their chief competition - but for Liberals, it is just dogma.

Could a collective uniform defence of principled foreign policy influence great power behaviour? It’s worth a try… @mark-carney.bsky.social

Even if a hospital or school contains enemies, that doesn’t give another force carte blanche to attack it.

International war conventions impose on all forces a strong responsibility to minimise non-combatant harm.

Good discussion here w Ben Saul @marijataflaga.bsky.social @markgkenny.bsky.social

Political monogamy? These are louche days now where fringe parties look more interesting, and they probably feel more interested, too.

Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal More than 36,500 Iranians were killed by security forces during the January 8-9 crackdown on nationwide protests, making it the deadliest two-day protest massacre in history, according to documents re...

There’s some people here who seem surprised to learn Iran has killed an estimated (could be more) 40,000 Iranians in a short period in January. Almost like the world looks away when brutal dictatorships kill their own citizens to stop them trying to democratise.

A new mediocrity. Hansonism is already dragging the centre of political gravity rightward. This is who we are now. Timid, fragile and defensive. With the Coalition presenting as One Nation-lite and even Labor panicking?

You are most kind!

🙏🙏🙏🙏

A treat to find yr articles on bluesky - thanks.
Loved yr context & accuracy of past leadership manoeuvrings.
Thanks for the ‘in’ journo joke - Turnbull’s govt was just Abbott’s “with longer sentences & better tailoring.” Why Taylor in one word? Panic! In two words, blind panic! Both just classic.

Thank you! What a terrific testimonial. @anuausi.bsky.social

Loved this episode @markgkenny.bsky.social ! You make politics so easy to understand
