The governmentâs response to crush our rights under the guise of social cohesion while kowtowing to a murderous foreign regime is a betrayal and epic failure of moral courage. Thea Henstrom reports.

The AUKUS agreement has now been in place for 4 years. During that time both the US & UK have undertaken reviews of its progress. With the Albanese govt now admitting its South Australian submarine base will cost at least $30bn, it's well past time Australia undertook its own AUKUS review.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
