John Lyons on Trump’s Gaza plan, and Albanese’s silence: “Strangely the Australian Prime Minister has yet to condemn it - he is an outlier on this. One of the few international leaders not to have condemned it. “Either he agrees with it or he is worried about upsetting somebody if he condemns it.”

Why can’t Albo just say “If Trump did what he proposed, it would be a war crime”? It’s not a running commentary, it’s a statement of fact. What is he so afraid of?

A Fox host says being taken over by the US is a privilege. Who wouldn’t trade universal healthcare for school metal detectors and a daily risk of being shot? Maybe Americans should see more of the world, which they could if they had more than 11 days of annual leave.

News Analysis: President-elect Donald Trump has returned to our daily national cognizance, even though one could argue he never really left. Tuesday’s news conference was a reminder of what that was like, and what the next four years may have in store.

Thinking today of the families of Myuran Sukumaran & Andrew Chan, who must welcome the news of the return of the Bali 5, but it must also hurt. I took this photo at Cilicap ferry terminal the night those men died as we waited. 10 years ago in April. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that grim night.

Shocked. Two large Australian companies are accused by ACCC of collusion and price fixing on huge Defence contacts, but it’s business as usual as one of those companies, Spotless, gets a share of a $2.3B offshore immigration detention contract.🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Wonderful news out of Syria with the people rising up against one of the worst, most brutal dictators. Assad has fled showing that strongmen are invariably weak when tested. More than a blood nose for his patrons in Iran and Russia also.

This is a good result for Albanese but let no one ever forget that the Bali 9 would have faced justice in Australia were it not for their betrayal by then AFP Cmr Mick Kelty (later disgraced when he alerted Ben Roberts-Smith he was being investigated for war crimes). www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
