I've written to ask the ACCC to help ensure fuel retailers don't use events in the Middle East to price gouge Australians.

As two middle powers in this world of global uncertainty, our countries have so much to gain from open trade and encouraging investment.

Why this 'stubborn bugger' sued his bank for $379 million Ian Williams has brought a whole new meaning to "taking on the big guy". When scammers stole from the pensioner the bank blamed him. So he launched a $379 million lawsuit to "make it right".

check this out ๐Ÿ˜ฎโœŠ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

"Mr Williams's efforts to get his money back were rejected by the #bank. So the one-time elephant handler, trawlerman, stunt person, brickie, horse breaker, nurse and private investigator really dug in."

Tesla slashes Cybertruck prices as it tries to move (unpainted) metal The stainless steel pickup truck is Tesla's first real flop.

Fewer than 39,000 Cybertrucks were sold in 2024, and just over 20,000 found homes in 2025.

This infographic from Our World in Data, titled โ€œWhat Americans die from vs the causes the US media reports on,โ€ compares actual causes of death in the US in 2023 (left) with New York Times media coverage of those causes in 2023 (right). The left stacked bar shows heart disease as the leading cause at 29%, followed by cancer (27%), accidents (7.8%), stroke (7%), lower respiratory diseases (6.3%), Alzheimerโ€™s (4.9%), diabetes (4.1%), and smaller shares for kidney failure, liver disease, suicide, COVID-19, influenza/pneumonia, drug overdose, homicide (<1%), and terrorism (<0.001%). The right stacked bar shows NYT coverage percentages normalized to 100% across selected causes: homicide dominates at 42%, followed by terrorism (18%), drug overdose (7.5%), COVID-19 (5.3%), suicide (3.8%), accidents (9.7%), cancer (4.1%), and heart disease (2.8%). The stark mismatch highlights how media coverage overrepresents rare violent causes while underrepresenting leading natural causes of death. Data sources listed are Media Cloud (2025), US CDC (2025), and Global Terrorism Index; the graphic includes a โ€œSwipe โ†’โ€ prompt suggesting it is part of a carousel.
