US investigation exposes Trump’s lies about the US missile strike on an Iranian girls school that killed over 170 people mainly school girls. It was a US attack. End AUKUS, pull Australian troops out of this awful illegal war.

a young tasmanian had a medical episode, called an ambulance and was told there was none available so they’d send a taxi for her instead. and the tasmanian health minister is unable to answer whether that is acceptable or not
