I’ll always trust the findings on Robodebt from Commissioner Catherine Holmes, who led a commission of integrity, who didn’t hold hearings in secret, over & above the findings of the NACC, led by Paul Brereton who works in the shadows with conflicts running through his veins.

Bodies found in search for Chinese backpackers missing in floodwater The pair were reported missing when they failed to reach their destination while driving north on Tuesday, with police confirming two bodies were found inside their car.

This is absolutely horrible to read.
Federal Govt should be making an effort to promote ads for safety for visitors in Australia’s extreme weather conditions and what risky behaviour could lead to.
We know visitors mobile contacts on arrival.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

The command centre was inadequate for aerial attack that killed 6.
#MajorFuckUp still hasn't briefed about:

"At least one American was killed in a separate strike in Saudi Arabia March 1. It is unclear how many others may have been injured in that attack"

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.
