So Stu from @swellnet tees up exclusive interview with shark attack victim Jack Frost, only to have @hollym_thompson from @WAtoday and @smh lift almost the entire copy, without asking? Righto. https://t.co/grLywpHoKB

Six LGAs commence their Bush Fire Danger Period today. In these areas, along with required fire permits you must also notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn 24 hours in advance. Know the risk for your area. https://t.co/sypRwkwhvK

BTW, why does the public broadcaster produce and broadcast far-right programs, but zero far-left programs?

Brilliant Finance report on @abcnews in #Australia tonight by @AlanKohler

Alan runs through latest global inflation, mortgage rates… and then shows us the latest Antarctic record-low sea ice levels, concluding “that’s not finance yet, but it soon will be.” #ClimateEmergency

Thank goodness Scott didn't buy anyone a Cartier watch, because then he'd be in real trouble.

The Ukrainian ambassador made a compelling case for more Australian aid on Insiders. We've made billions out of higher commodity prices but haven't circled back the windfall to Ukraine in a meaningful way like both Norway and Canada have done.

Hello, time traveller here, just arrived in 2023. What are the important news stories today?

Thread:
I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

Brilliant strategy. Brilliant creative. Bravo Nikon, and whichever agency came up with this. https://t.co/b5ao37dHnP

Michael Fabricant has the air of a man who came ninth in a Donald Trump Lookalike Competition, went to Turkey to surgically alter himself to look more like Donald Trump, re-entered the Donald Trump Lookalike Competition, and came tenth.

It's an interesting evolution, Softbank-era startups needed a billion dollars to subsidize selling taxi rides and pizza at a loss, crypto startups needed a billion dollars because YOLO, and now these AI ones actually need it to do a billion dollars worth of matrix multiplication

Meanwhile, I’m facing 100 years in prison. My marriage and career were destroyed. For the all the Govt’s admirable heat on this, everyone in the public knows the awful truth: PwC will not only never be charged, they won’t even miss next year’s Aspen trip.

Annoying that streaming services' geo-restrictions are based on physical location, rather than customer origin. Unable to watch last two EPs of @succession on @binge until I return from OS. Kinda useless for travellers.

"We sent questionnaires to 300,000 people and not a single response mentioned problems with trans athletes at the elite level or grassroots level."
"Morrison weaponised the whole issue leading into the 2022 election."
