After Elon Musk rebranded Twitter as X, a worker began removing the company’s old logo from outside its San Francisco headquarters. After removing six letters, the worker was stopped for performing “unauthorized work,” the police said. nyti.ms/3Y8CYJX

The bandura is a Ukrainian folk instrument that has historically been suppressed by Russian colonial powers. Seen as an ideological threat, bandura players were targeted for executions under the Soviet Union. This musician is keeping the tradition of the bandura alive. #abc730

Labor has been in power for just under a year. It's already delivered significant parts of its legislative agenda, but voters will be looking to tomorrow night's budget for an affirmation of what the government really stands for. @latingle reports. #abc730

The govt has just announced its reform of the PRRT xitter.cf/political_alert/status… They’re not doing what I thought they would (and most speculation thought they would) They’re not adding to the amount of revenues to which this tax applies

*sigh* incoming Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson's pay (both base and including potential bonuses) is lower than Alan Joyce's when he left AND when he started the job. She's been with the company 28 years. theage.com.au/business/compa…

Farewell to 7.30 supervising producer @ClayHichens, the glue that's held the program together since it moved to a national format almost 30 years ago. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Clay and we wish you the very best. #abc730

With cost of living pressures being felt right across the country, this year's federal Budget has seen a concerted push to do something to help the millions of Australians living below the poverty line. #abc730 @latingle #auspol

This is terribly sad news. Allan was a giant. Last month Penny Wong described him as the "finest mind in Australian foreign policy." He will also be remembered for his humility and generosity to others. He was taken too soon. Rest in peace.
The Australian Institute of International Affairs is very sad to hear of the death of our immediate past president, Allan Gyngell AO FAIIA, this morning. Allan's contributions to the institute and to Australian foreign policy have been enormous. Our thoughts are with his family.
