Later in the evening, they were reunited with their five teammates who had made the same decision the night before. They will be safe here. They will be at home here. They are welcome here in Australia.

Two people, one player and one member of the support team asked to stay in Australia and I signed the paperwork for them to be issued with humanitarian visas which were processed overnight.

Scientists have drawn up the most accurate map of Antarctica, offering background to the continent’s response to climate change.

This morning Littleproud accused female Iran Football Team of being tyranical. Now I am watching Littleproud tear up over his free choice to quit the Nat Leadership after he trashed the party. Snowflake! Those girls have families dying and facing near impossible life choices. Brave. #auspol

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Actually Starmer *not* responding to every fucking tweet Don sends out is one of the things he's got consistently right in dealing with Trump.

Trump tries to humiliate Starmer for joining his bad war “after we’ve already won” 🤔 Won what? The “mission accomplished” vibes are strong — easy to say you “won” when nobody knows what you were playing for And Keir Starmer learning Trump will always drive the bus over you

BREAKING: The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released. They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump. DOC 1: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

These far-right conspiracists are pushing Trump to take control of voting

It’s official. Kristi Noem is out as DHS boss. Markwayne RickyBobby Mullen is in.

Repost and make sure you copy in @support.bsky.team We need to get Marie Coleman back on here as a priority #auspol

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Happy World Wildlife Day! 🌱 This year's theme, 'Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods', reminds us that human health is intrinsically linked with the health of our natural world.

🔴Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

Wilson ignores potent drivers of inflation: Housing scarcity. Global energy & food price shocks. Labour shortages in key sectors. Supply-chain bottlenecks. Govt spending in areas that increase supply (infrastructure, housing, skills) is anti-inflationary; not fuel on the fire. #insiders #auspol

Keir Starmer warns Iran not to attack UK military in Middle East www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

ICYMI — BILL CLINTON: "Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office."

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

The UK White Nationalist agitator and jailbird who goes by the name of Tommy Robinson has been welcomed with open arms by Trump’s State Department. He’s never been elected, leads a tiny ragtag band of Nazis but Musk loves him.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

UNBELIEVABLE! DOJ withheld Epstein files naming Trump in abuse allegations of a minor This is why we sued @democracydefendersfund.org has been fighting in court to get these records & we won’t stop👇 www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/02.06.26...

1/2 Former ICE attorney and academy instructor Ryan Schwank just resigned so he could testify about what’s happening inside ICE’s training academy. He says the legally required program for new cadets is now “deficient, defective, and broken.” It must be abolished.

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever. One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
