This is a truly shocking story about deportations in the US at present. 7ampodcast.com.au/episodes/how...
Very proud of my daughter who refereed her first football games today - complete with a yellow card for a coach who wouldnβt stop shouting about a decision when warned. He was quiet after that (probably shouldnβt take that to stop an adult from shouting at a 16 year old ref in a pre-season game).
New investigation report tabled by the Victorian Ombudsman on the handling of child abuse by the Department of Education.
A tough read but an important one.

Good piece on an interesting new Charter case from the High Court.
(Not sure how many Charter nerds there are left in the wild)
Exciting news that @sellingamirror.bsky.social is now posting here
Andrea Maksimovic died a few weeks ago. She was fierce and funny and so smart. Her life was too short but she made such a difference on things that mattered. www.smh.com.au/national/unu...

Must read. Very, very hard to read.
The killing of Chhoeung Chheng is the first murder of a journalist in Cambodia for 10 years. Like the last two journalists who were killed, Chheng covered illegal logging and environmental issues.
His suspected killer is believed to be a logger.

So today, like every year on 12 November, I reflect on the courage of those young people at Santa Cruz and the role they played in winning freedom against the odds. Viva Loriko Aswain! (pic via ETAN)
While the massacre was devastating to the youth resistance movement in the short-term, it is widely acknowledged as one of the turning points in the occupation and in the struggle for East Timorese independence.
The iconic image at the end of the footage, of the young man cradling his injured friend, is now memorialised in a statue on Dili's waterfront.
Astonishing, the injured young man survived and saw his country become independent in 2002.
The protest at which the massacre took place was the culmination of the first uprising of young East Timorese people that started in 1989 with the visit of the Pope.
Those brave young people became known as the Lorikeet Warriors, or Loriko Aswain.
33 years ago today - 12 November 1991 - Indonesian soldiers opened fire on protestors at the Santa Cruz cemetery in Dili, East Timor, killing at least 271 people.
Warning, graphic footage.
