  We had a very close call earlier. Just a km or so before Trentham, a huge boomer ‘roo came flying out from between the trees. We braked & as we did the ‘roo spotted us & started skidding to a stop. We came to a stop & the ‘roo skidded sideways into our front wheel. He did a 180 & hopped off to wherever he’d come from.

  RE: https://fairdinkum.one/@John/117285361666553541 #Canada’s PM welcomed an offer for closer ties with the #EU, a proposal that drew #Trump’s anger. The proposal provoked Trump to threaten new tariffs on the continent. #Carney, giving remarks to European lawmakers gathered in #France, seemed open to the plan in substance, and outlined places Canada and Europe could deepen ties, while those between Canada and its southern neighbor looked increasingly frayed. #USPol #auspol

  #Trump calls #EU offer to #Canada of associate membership ‘laughable’, while threatening #tariffs & calling the offer a “hostile act”. Canada’s prime minister, #MarkCarney, is due to address the #European parliament on Thursday, a day after the #EuropeanCommission president, #UrsulaVonDerLeyen, invited his country to become the EU’s first “associate member”. #USPol #auspol #TrumpDictatorship https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/17/trump-calls-eu-offer-to-canada-associate-members...

  After a 2 year legal battle to punish a prominent #Australian #journalist for her public #criticism of #IsraelsGenocide in #Gaza, the #ZionistFederationOfAustralia withdrew its case on Thursday. “This is a win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression,” #Kostakidis said. She said: “The purpose of #journalism is to get to the truth – fearlessly – and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed.” #auspol #Gaza
