Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

wsj.comExclusive | Musk Ordered Starlink Slowdown That Blindsided UkraineThe SpaceX founder authorized the move and has been discussing Ukraine with Trump, but the president has denied ordering the restrictions.

Helen Haines is a very good person. I am aware I am getting ahead of the investigation, but I hold Gina Reinhardt and Pauline Hanson responsible for today’s atrocity. There should be no space for either of theses monsters in today’s politics.

I am disappointed with Americas usage of profanity when compared to much of the English speaking world. Scotland, Britain and Australia have a vastly wider and more effective vocabulary. In this time of Pedophile president and morally bankrupt billionaires you should try harder Asshat is good

Just back from doing the rounds at events for the Sydney, Newcastle and Canberra writers' festivals. So many people turned out! A reminder that more Australians attend live arts& cultural events than sports: (22 million v. 8.25 million ABS stats.) More Govt. support for the arts please!!

You have to appreciate the fact that these idiots always make these comments and never realize the context and facts.

Hi Americans who are thinking about investing thier personal future in A.I. ( or SI if that’s your thing). Have a look at the Failed float of Firmus in Australia. While history my never repeat. I sure as hell rhymes.

Does anyone have any insight on why the US moved its B1 bombers out of the UK in an almighty hurry? White vans and drums of petrol cannot be that much of a threat to the world greatest military.

Amy notes that China has joined Japan is now onselling Australian gas. FMD we *really* need to tax the gas. Barely a more obvious policy has presented itself. One political party will do it and they will get all the advantage. #TaxTheGas www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Hey follow Victorians. If you are appalled by what is happening in the USA, then don’t vote One Nation in the upcoming election. If you don’t care fro the ALP or LNP then have a look at the Greens or Independents. Whatever you think our state’s problems are, Pauline is not the answer.

It's not pensions you can't afford. It's not immigrants. It's not Disabled People. Or University educations. Or Healthcare. Or Housing. It's billionaires you can't afford, they are stealing all of this and much more.
