We want cheap food, we want food all year around and we want it now. That leaves workers, farmers and eaters vulnerable. And we haven’t started on the cost to the environment. Eventually we need to pay for the true cost of food. theguardian.com/australia-news…

The Coalition voter ID proposal is a solution in search of a problem, but it highlights a problem bedevilling the conservative end of Australian politics.

With the Trump Party going hell for leather on voter suppression, gerrymandering, official stacking and blocking key parts of the Voting Rights Act, it’s no surprise that Trump's Australian “sister party” wants to ape its role model with voter ID. thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2021/1…

Why are Afghan lives considered dispensable?
This was not some logistical error. It was the tragic death of 10 people.
Dismissing the possibility of negligence suggests grave problems with US conduct of military operations, its investigations or both.
