If a Prime Minister in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK behaved like Trump he would lose the confidence of the House and be out. The US needs to stop its cultish worship of its constitution & founding fathers & create a system that will never allow another wannabe dictator.

Never ever forget that @SenatorWong refused to meet Francesca Albanese @FranceskAlbs when she came to Australia to warn against an inpending genocide in Gaza.
Penny flew instead to Israel to have coffee with Herzog, the genocide enabler and @AlboMP later invited Herzog to Aust.

You have never objected to Israel's blockade of Gaza. Nor have you objected to America's blockade of Cuba. But suddenly a blockade matters to you.
Are you trying to tell us that only oil matters, @SenatorWong? That people's lives are totally expendable, but you care about oil?
I joined over 40 countries on a call on the Strait of Hormuz as part of Australia’s support for international efforts to reopen the critical waterway. I thank @YvetteCooperMP for convening the meeting with representatives from every continent, and organisations including @IMOHQ.

In Kaikai's world, anything and everything has the potential to be a toy. Even a spade.
For context: Kaikai is less than a year old. She is also, by unanimous Keeper agreement, the most curious elephant at Kaluku. If anything, it's her world – and we just live in it. Early on, cardboard boxes were her absolute favourite toys. She'd kick them like a football, don them like a hat, and in the grand finale, flop atop them and take great delight when they collapsed. She's moved on to other things now – namely a tyre that she treats as a throne, a pillow and a plaything.

ईरान ने इजराइल के "आयरन डोम" को "आयरन मोम" बना दिया है। अब इजराइल के अंदर हाय तौबा मची है इज़राइली बस्ती में रहने वाली महिला कहती है: “मैं सदमे में हूँ और बच्चे बहुत डरे हुए हैं”, ईरानी मिसाइलों को रोकने में इजराइल नाकाम है। ये वही लोग है जो Gaza में बम गिरने पर खुशियां मनाते थे।

In many ways, it began with Olmeg.
In March 1987, a two-week-old elephant calf was rescued in northern Kenya. He arrived sunburnt and emaciated – and so young that round-the-clock care in the Sheldrick family home wasn't going to be enough. So Daphne built him a stable in Nairobi. The very first one.
Since then, hundreds of orphans have arrived at our Nursery, which has become the formative first step of many an elephant's journey: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/p…

Decent moral Australians do not support our government siding with the US/Israelie TERRORIST REGIMES. We stand with Iran and wish you luck destroying the US/Israelie TERRORIST REGIMES.

If the orphans had their way, they'd be in charge of our hiring process. And, actually, they are! When new Keepers join on a trial basis, we watch and wait – if they are embraced by the elephants, we know the herd has given their seal of approval.
For those who'd like to know more, this archival edition of our Field Notes newsletter offers a great peek into the world of our guardians in green – and if you sign up to our monthly email (link in article), you can read interviews with our staff, including our Keepers, direct to your inbox: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…

Still waiting for US citizens Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch’s Australian media outlets to rev up their well known outrage at Trump’s 100% tariff on our imported pharmaceuticals. Trump and his oligarchs are out to destroy Australia’s PBS and predate on our Copyright creators.

Helicopter crew members wounded, a jet shot down, one crew member rescued & the other missing & all Trump is messaging about is oil & making a fortune.
He couldn't give a damn about American lives, it's always about the 💰
He's a real piece of work.

Is it just me or do others also feel that @AlboMP greatly exaggerated the struggles & difficulties his Mum faced raising him? I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could have that as a lived experience yet feel nothing for all the vulnerable people in Australia.
BeaKos retweeted
Just think, if @AlboMP hadn’t chucked out the Iranian ambassador on the orders of the Israeli govt, we might be able to join those countries currently getting ships through the strait.
Is Israel going to get us oil @SenatorWong?
What, exactly, is Israel going to do for Australians, that warrants the difficulties we’ll face without fuel?

When Mwashoti arrived in our care, he had a deep snare wound around his foot and we weren't sure if he'd ever walk properly again. His weakened immune system and terrible injury meant he was vulnerable to infection, but somehow he pulled through.
Knowing what it took – countless wound changes, years of love and many, many milk bottles – our hearts soar when we see him standing tall like this. What's more, he has rejoined the wild, but still returns regularly, acting as a referee and wise mentor to the younger bulls. After all he's been through, he's earned the position: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…
