Well looks like they’re running out of coronavirus news. There was a bit more normal news in tonight’s bulletins. Dog attack and tornado.
News just minutes ago - more details to follow. “Wikileaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States, a court in London has ruled.”
For anyone who has been following the international news-making story of Joe the pigeon, there is an unexpected twist to the story. With authorities set to euthanise the bird, it turns out the he had not from all the way from the US after all.
A pigeon that Australia declared a biosecurity risk has received a reprieve after a U.S. bird organization declared its identifying leg band was fake.
The band suggested the bird found in a Melbourne backyard on Dec. 26 was a racing pigeon that had left the U.S. state of Oregon, 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) away, two months earlier.
Acting Australian Prime Minister Michael McCormack had earlier said there would be no mercy if the pigeon was from the United States.
The Long March rocket over Australia at time of posting. So if it suddenly enters the atmosphere now it will splashdown south of India.
Somewhere on Earth.
A power station shutting down appears to be the cause.
Seems to be mostly restored. Still 9,500 listed on Energex website.
Weird centre of Rockhampton was without power but Yeppoon on the coast was not affected.
I still had power and only found out there was a major outage on social media. Weird how the grid works like that.
There is a story in an Iceland newspaper that a key witness for the USA in the Julian Assange prosecution and extradition lied. This has so far received very little mainstream media coverage anywhere else in the world.
The reason is I don’t think the mainstream media is actively reporting on the case is because no one actually cares about what happens to Assange anymore. The only ones who are left supporting him are conspiracy whackjobs and anti-US organisations like various socialist groups.
He lost a lot of credibility when he directed Wikileaks to focus on destabilizing the United States (with the assistance of Russia), all while rejecting damaging leaks from the Kremlin.
This is incredible
Not sure if this is the right place to put this:
This guy is never going to get his shit together.
