Is there any empirical evidence for "diversity is our strength"?
Genuine question.

If Channel Nine weree going to sack @karlstefanovic for interviewing @TRobinsonNewEra because that is not the image Nine wants for their Today host, then consistency demands they also sack his co-host Sarah Abo.

She interviewed Nasser Mashni. A convicted violent kidnapper and terror supporter, who bashed a 15 year old child and has supported Hamas, repeatedly refusing to outright condemn Hamas' mass murder of Jews on October 7.

Nine should also sack every producer who set up the interview.

Or is that the image Nine wants?

Will Foreign Minister Penny Wong summon the Spanish Ambassador over this brutal treatment, which far exceeds anything the activists experienced in Israel?
If not, the double standard is clear.
When the Jewish state is treated differently, there is a reason for it.

West Sydney Councillor Ahmed Ouf declares Ben Roberts-Smith guilty of war crimes.

Ahmed Ouf travelled to Gaza in 2012 to meet senior Hamas military leaders.

He only migrated to Australia in 2010, so within 2 years of his migration he was already meeting with terror leaders

🇺🇸 SECOND U.S. PILOT RESCUED WITH HELP FROM IRANIANS - IRGC HUMILIATED

U.S. special forces pulled off one of the most audacious extractions in recent history hours ago, rescuing the F-15E Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) deep in the Iranian mountains after his jet was shot down on Friday. The WSO evaded IRGC hunters for nearly 48 hours using survival training.

Iranian civilians in Dehdasht flooded the streets, physically blocking roads and delaying IRGC and Basij convoys racing to capture him. Anti-regime locals bought precious time amid widespread hatred for the mullahs.

U.S. teams set up a temporary forward base inside Iran for the high-risk operation, which involved firefights and heavy air cover. When two transport planes got stuck, commanders flew in replacements and destroyed the disabled aircraft on-site to prevent them falling into IRGC hands. Both crew members are now safe. Trump called it historic.

Great choice by the NYT to run an op-ed on Operation Epic Fury by Ali Vaez — who emailed Iran's foreign minister in 2014 pledging, as a matter of "national and patriotic duty," to help Iran campaign against nuclear breakout limits and prepare reports on Iran's "practical needs"

Exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi outlined a vision for a post-regime Iran that ends support for militias and proxies, halts sensitive uranium enrichment, fully cooperates with IAEA, and fosters regional peace including expanded Abraham Accords ("Cyrus Accords"), urging Arab countries to back an organized transition for stability and prosperity.

Pahlavi on Thursday wrote an op-ed for Asharq Al-Awsat titled "To Our Arab Neighbors: The End of the Regime Will Open a New Era of Peace," presenting his detailed vision for a post-regime Iran without proxies or nuclear threats, reassuring Arab states.

A Vietnamese student caught up-skirt filming 150 Melbourne women in public toilets has walked from court scot-free.

He told the judges he had entered the women’s toilets because he wasn’t sure of his gender.

He can now stay & continue his studies in 🇦🇺

Tehran, Occupied Iran:

Arab Hezbollah supporters from Lebanon are yelling Allah-o Akbar during the AL Quds Jihadi hate fest and reporting in Arabic that they were injured from Israeli bombs.

Meanwhile an IRGC official tells them in Persian "Go get lost".

What a clown show.

Iranians from all provinces call for the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to lead the transition government.

The only name being changed across the country.

There is no other alternative until the democratic referendum on the constitution has taken place.

CNN’s coverage from Iran has convinced me that Israel was right to restrict foreign media access in Gaza.

Yes, it caused Israel some bad headlines. But just look at CNN in Iran, then imagine the kind of staged propaganda Hamas would've fed Western outlets from inside Gaza

The New York Times is posting footage from 2020, and saying that its celebrations for the new Ayatollah.
