Queensland has become Australia’s political test case:

Tough-on-crime policies, Olympic ambition, surging population growth and a housing market pushing people to the edge — all at once.

The next few years will show whether Queensland is genuinely booming, or just overheating.

🧵 2/2 US forces have used APKWS for years against Houthi/Iranian drones; Ukraine integrated similar systems on F-16s amid mass UAV threats. The UK remains years behind in adapting to the cheap-drone battlespace that’s defined modern conflict since 2022.

RAF has deployed APKWS laser-guided 70mm rockets on Typhoon FGR4s for counter-drone ops in the Middle East. Good work by 9 Sqn getting it from test to theatre in weeks.That said, this is late to the fight.

The key takeaway from this Forbes article isn’t that AI is replacing degrees — it’s that AI is commoditising routine knowledge work.

The future advantage belongs to professionals with strategic thinking, creativity, leadership, judgment, and AI fluency.

[Forbes @Forbes]

The roles AI replaces will not wait for graduates to retrain. A Goldman Sachs report estimated that 300 million full-time jobs globally are exposed to AI automation, with two-thirds of U.S. occupations facing some degree of impact.

These college degrees are losing their economic power faster than universities can update their syllabuses: https://t.co/r5QiFq2B0F

Brilliant bit of camera work 📷

British fighter jets flying over Cyprus, by far the most outstanding camera work I have ever seen. If carlsberg made cameraman he would probably be the best cameraman in the world

It’s incredible the lengths some governments will go to stop the advancement of its people. The narrow vision of the corrupt and the associated greed is off the scale.

🌞 Stunner of a day in Townsville, AU! ☀️ Strand’s buzzing, Castle Hill’s calling for epic pics, & the Coral Sea’s sparkling. Grab a smoothie, hit the beach, or ferry to Maggie Island! 🌴 #TownsvilleShines #VisitQueensland

Interesting stance, but one that should be endorsed and supported by all Australians.

Australia said Iran directed two antisemitic attacks against the local Jewish community, including the firebombing of a synagogue, and that it would expel the country’s ambassador https://t.co/YvpjCEqajg

Blake had an unforgettable weekend packed with firsts and fun! 🏅 From proudly honoring his first ANZAC Day on Friday 🇦🇺, to cheering on the Cowboys live in a thrilling match on Saturday 🏉, and capping it off with rides on miniature trains at the Townsville Train Park on Sunday.

11 years on, it doesn’t get easier, but it becomes more bearable. As Christmas nears, I reflect on how much love & sacrifice parents give. Grateful for the memories & legacy my mom left behind. Forever missed, forever loved. ❤️

You have to love London travel. It’s incredible the amount of people that push into an underground train carriage.

It reminds me of a taxi in South Africa and watching, in some cases, 22 people or more get out of a capacity 12-seater car.
