China is about to wipe out, with the stroke of a pen, Australia's biggest export markets for wine, lobster and a few other commodities, against WTO rules and a bi-lateral FTA. Seems like it should be a bigger deal, and not just in Australia....

There's nothing like watching a live echidna to demonstrate that the flat belly-dragging trope seen in museum #echidna taxidermy is all wrong.

New: UK #COVID19 death toll now at 465.
