Interesting snapshot out from @USSC on how Aussies view the 🇦🇺🇺🇸 alliance on the eve of the 75th anniversary.
'Half of respondents say Australia needs its alliance with the US more than ever, and even that there are no circumstances in which Australia should end the alliance'.
Seems to be fairly consistent with the @LowyInstitute poll earlier this year.

Fascinating @USSC polling. This jumps out. Only 16% of Australians think Trump 2.0 has been good for Australia. 73% are worried about US democracy. But despite that just 17% want to ditch the alliance, well under the 37% who said in 2023 we should withdraw if Trump was re-elected
Tough news for Norfolk Island, which in 2023 shipped US$413k in leather boots and US$29.3k in metal signs to the United States, according to OEC data

Trump signed dozens of executive orders on day one to show he's taking action. But they may not result in the substantive change an anxious public is demanding. @Sydney_Uni theconversation.com/executiv…

The vagaries of polling – and, most of all, the vagaries of the US electoral system – mean there is little point attempting to read the tea leaves beyond the broad public sentiment polling captures. Read more analysis from @sydney_uni theconversation.com/the-us-p…

Trump has announced JD Vance (@JDVance1) as his 2024 running mate.
But who is this young senator from Ohio? What are his policy views? And importantly, what will it mean for Australians?

In 2020, Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to convert some 50,000 public servants into easily fireable political appointees.
If re-elected, how far might Trump go in his bid to "dismantle the Deep State"?

Dictator on Day One? Trump’s grand plans for the federal bureaucracy | Samuel Garrett ift.tt/TG2N4WX
Wikipedia editors are locked in heated debate over whether to add “convicted felon” to the first line of Trump’s Wikipedia article.
A vote among Wikipedians shows 60% of them in favour. Whether Americans asssociate Trump with the term could determine his chances in November

Too many students and too few cadavers led USyd to ask the public to donate their bodies to science in the 1940s.
My @anzshm paper with Rebekah Jenkin and @LNSFSydney shows why @syd_health was one of the first to rely on consenting body donors for anatomical teaching #histmed
Our archival evidence shows then-Head of #Anatomy Prof Burkitt spent 25 years trying to secure the future of his Medical School. A willing public chose to help.

Tonight, Americans will lose an hour of sleep as the US #springforward to #DaylightSavings.
But a law for permanent DST would mean 9 in 10 urban Americans see winter sunrises after 8am.
My new @USSC policy brief explains why that isn’t a good idea:

🕐 Clocks in America will #springforward this weekend for #daylightsavingtime. Should it become permanent? @USSC's Samuel Garret makes the case against permanent daylight saving time noting 87% of Americans wouldn't see sunrise until after 8am in winter.
