Big news. Woodside walks away from Greater Sunrise. Sells its 33% stake to Timor's state-owned oil and gas company Timor Gap for around $280 million AUD. Timor Gap will have full control of the asset after the sale. Some big questions looming now for Dili (and for Canberra)

Former senior official Marc Ablong on AUKUS. Long piece, worth a read. He thinks the strategic logic holds. But he's worried about the "trapdoor" in the middle of the optimal pathway (Presidential approval to sell Virginias to Aus) - wants a "stated hedge" mablong.substack.com/p/aukus…

It’s been more than 5 years since a Canberra toddler named Safa Annour died in a suspected murder.
There have been no arrests, no answers, no justice. No closure.

This is my backstory…
You’ll read about where I started & how far I’ve come.
I owe so much to the many teachers I had along the way.
Some presented as people. Others as inescapable truths about the world around me.
I hope you enjoy reading 😊 abc.net.au/news/backstory/20…
