Nice yarn. I loved the way Behich celebrates by prostrating himself. in a Muslim prayer. Does he often do that? I can't remember seing it.

Two days after election, Japan restarts a nuclear power plant shut after Fukushima. Other plants have restarted before but this is the 1st in eastern Japan, the area destroyed in 2011. PM Ishiba Shigeru campaigned on reducing nuclear. Maybe not so much? www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/202…

Sorry. The thing that did most to undermine trust was anti-vax and anti-public health right wing nut jobs. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…
This article is a reasonable attempt to give both sides but it repeats the Israeli line that 1,200 « innocent » people died on Oct 7. In fact, 400 of the Israelis who died were soldiers on active duty. Under international law are they innocent victims ? smh.com.au/world/middle-east…

I think being told to “Go back to Vaucluse” sounds quite nice. It’s a lovely suburb. smh.com.au/national/go-back-…

The good thing about Iran shooting missiles at Israel is that they are missiles it cannot send to Russia for use against Ukraine.

One interesting thing about Japan’s new president Ishiba Shigeru is he campaigned against nuclear power. He backs renewables and energy efficiency.
Bravo @jameschessell Great start

Odd that someone as smart as Gittins conflates home ownership and house prices. smh.com.au/business/the-econ…

This article should have mentioned that from 1996 till about 2003(?) Nevzlin owned 10 percent of The Moscow Times. I had lunch with him when I was MT editor. themoscowtimes.com/2024/09/1…

It is great that @evangershkovich is out but I wonder about the media organisations like @WSJ who keep journalists, especially young ones, in Moscow. It seems a risk and for what reward?

First Kamala Harris takes over from Biden and now this!
The 67-year-old has led the Financial Review through six PMs and thousands of editions. He will be succeeded by the former executive editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, James Chessell. afr.com/companies/media-and-…

One observation on the reason for Trump’s choice of running mate, based on my experience in Russia. Yeltsin is said to have chosen Putin as his successor because he thought Putin would never let him go to jail.
