Those being critical of the Pacific Islands Forum's @ForumSEC decision to accept @Israel as a forum partner don't understand the history, culture, & foundation of faith across the region. UN voting records show the close bond and mutual support. @IsraelMFA @gidonsaar @Jerusalem_Post #Israel #Pacific

Certain New Zealand journalists like to try and exploit division within the Pacific Island nations over China without ever mentioning that New Zealand also supports the one-China policy (as does Australia). #PIF #Pacific 1news.co.nz/2026/08/29/barba…

Excellent piece from @RitaPanahi on every level. Due process is vital for every allegation & investigation. Many comments were made far too early and to this day no one except those involved still know the facts.
Football programs should be able to discuss football matters without being accused of gross misogyny. In their haste to make the incident representative of every grievance women have about men, the commentariat have blithely disregarded foundational legal principles... heraldsun.com.au/news/opinio…

Sometimes the classiest way to publicly respond is to stay silent. The high ground often has a way of elevating you over time. #media #allegations

Refusing short fares & not turning on the meter is common. Taxi companies & govt don’t care. It was happening when I did work for the taxi industry years ago. Taxis will embarrass Brisbane in 2023 Olympics. $40, pay first’: Driver blows up at passenger news.com.au/technology/motor…

When a former client is in the news for the wrong reasons, and you listen to what they are saying and think "So many of us know the truth. Only one needs to talk and it gets much worse for them." Tip: If you can't be honest maybe be silent #publicrelations #crisiscomms #media

Strange article. The position of Nauru is exactly the same as that of New Zealand, Australia and other nations that have diplomatic relations with China. Would have been more balanced to mention that.

Just saw the mad rant by @MadDogUnleashed about the #NFL having an opening game in Australia. Apparently because he lived here 46 years ago and no one cared he thinks we aren't interested in NFL today! In 1980 there was no internet, social media or even cell phones. Life has moved on MadDog...

When something very weird gets a whole lot weirder….
Just got off a quick call w President Trump who said he didnt “know anything about” FLOTUS’ statement prior to her on camera appearance, but that he was in a meeting about the war & couldn’t speak further. “She didn’t know him,” he added before hanging up, referring to Epstein.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry & Meghan Markle says an Australian petition calling for no taxpayer dollars to go towards their upcoming visit is "ridiculous". Given the lack of popularity, they'd be better to stay silent & not fuel the fire #RoyalNews #DukeAndDuchessOfSussex #RoyalVisit
