Havacılık ve turizmde artık hiçbir şey eskisi gibi olmayacak. Çünkü Çin, yepyeni bir dönemin kapısını araladı.
Dünyanın ilk elektrikli ticari yolcu uçağı CE-25A ilk pilotlu uçuşunu gerçekleştirdi.
19 kişilik uçak 500 km menzile sahip ve sıfır emisyon üretiyor. Devlet şirketi COMAC'ın ürettiği uçağın maliyetleri %70 oranında azaltması bekleniyor.

Received briefings from Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhenii Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant disruptions to Starshield’s operations over the territory of Ukraine for several days now – along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, systematic speed restrictions are being imposed on Starshield, limiting it to 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour). The Ukrainian military have already investigated the circumstances, and these are not random errors but systematic speed restrictions. For us, this primarily means a significant complication in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Unfortunately, there have already been strikes that got through because our interception systems cannot reach sufficient speeds and are unable to intercept in time. Unfortunately, this is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more accurate strikes against Ukraine. We are trying to establish all the circumstances with the American side.
The dogs are going crazy trying to catch a fly that’s in my bedroom. Meanwhile I’m trying to go to sleep!

Both Queensland and the Northern Territory have refused to allow a United Nations inspector to enter their youth detention facilities. #sydneycriminallawyers #un #youth #detention

Australia is the world’s biggest seaborne importer of diesel. Data centres using diesel generators for back-up power put more pressure on our fuel supply, increase our emissions and our power bills, and take advantage of the government’s diesel fuel tax rebate - a fossil fuel subsidy for large multinationals. In the last sitting week, I asked the government to stop approving new data centres with back-up diesel generation.

Monica Smit is listed as the contact for two parties, "I'm Voting to Avoid the Fine" and "Climate Action Now". The parties are targetings seats the Greens want to win, as is pro-Israel activist Avi Yemeni and the five candidates of his "Free Palestine" party.

The U.S. hit 5,182 confirmed measles cases by Nov 5.
That’s more than twice the 2,289 reported in all of 2025.
I support research students. I always have. However, I don’t want my LinkedIn feed to keep feeding me pictures of every PhD student graduation. It’s not FB!

Why does Sydney (and Australia) have so many changes in the speed limits on the roads? Is it really for safety, or for revenue (from speeding fines)? 🤷🏻♀️

"AUKUS costs a minimum of $33 million a day for the next 30 years!! PASS IT ON.
I don’t know what Khawaja is trying to prove (apart from selling his new book) but poor Smith, Warner and Bancroft must be livid! Time to let them all move on from what was at that time a terrible culture led from the top of CA and team managers.

While Melania Trump is playing nice in the White House with Putin’s envoy, Russia dropped nine bombs on a school and shelter killing almost 100 Ukrainians.

One day, we will look back at this time in Australia's history where the entire nation went to a vote and denied Indigenous people a direct voice to parliament while directly after that, the government of the day walked away and gave that voice to Israel - without a single Australian vote being cast or a person being asked.
One day we will wonder how we allowed Australia to be captured and ruled by a foreign nation, for our thoughts to be policed and our rights to artistic expression and freedom of speech curtailed by an unelected, South African born, multi-millionaire white woman from eastern Sydney who answers to lsrael.
One day we'll have to tell our children and grandchildren that this woman thought that protesting against a war where children are bombed and burnt alive in their beds is an evil thing to do, but marching with a Nazi protest sign is nothing worth worrying about.
One day we will have to explain this upside-down madness, this state-captured think speak we all allowed to happen and wonder why we didn't do more.
One day, everyone will have always been against this.

Robodebt was a harmful government scheme. It cost lives and harmed hundreds of thousands of Australians through its unlawful use of automated decision-making (ADM).
It’s hard to believe, but the Albanese Government hasn’t learnt the lessons of Robodebt.
For over a year the government has used unfair ADM in aged care assessments, generating huge community concern, a scathing review from the Commonwealth Ombudsman, and sustained pressure from the crossbench. Now the government is proposing use of another largely untested ADM tool, the I-CAN automated assessment, to inform calculations of NDIS support.
I recently seconded Kate Chaney’s Bill to establish a new framework for the use of ADM in government. We must ensure that chasing cost-efficiency doesn’t compromise responsibility and care.
