I found this little gecko while moving a bit of timber today. I think it's a Southern Marbled Gecko. About 35mm long.

Anthony Albanese demands accountability from Israel over death of aid worker in Gaza

PM says he's calling in the Israeli Ambassador to demand a full explanation. Don't call them in Albo, kick them out. There's no way Australia should continue as a friend and ally of Israel. They are a rogue state that has a long history of disdain for the rule of law and human rights.

The funding should be resumed immediately. It should never have been paused. The allegations made against the UN agency can be investigated thoroughly without holding back the financial support that is so desperately needed.
