>>19775642 OPINION: As a Jew, I can despair or look to the lessons of history - "Thirteen days ago, my world changed, our world changed, forever. The medieval slaughter of innocents representing the single biggest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust punctured the aura of invincibility that surrounded the Israeli Defence Force. Terror has ushered in widespread trauma leaving a whole nation grieving for the more than 1400 lost and 200 missing. It has left deep psychological scars in the Jewish community in and beyond Israel's shores that may never heal. As a person of Jewish faith who has only ever known of a confident and strong Israel, I never thought I would feel, as my parents did in 1973 during the Yom Kippur war, the existential threat facing Israel. But now I do. As a person of Jewish faith growing up in a tolerant and multicultural Australia, I never thought I would feel, as my grandparents did in 1933, the rising tide of European antisemitism which would consume their families in the flames of the Holocaust. But now I do. I am anguished and anxious about the future. These are indeed the darkest of times. Every day innocent lives are being lost in both Israel and in Gaza. We cannot lose our common humanity as Hamas makes victims of the people of Gaza, too. It is my hope that, despite all that has happened, the light will eventually shine through." - Josh Frydenberg, former treasurer of Australia - theage.com.au
>>19775684 Colours of Palestinian flag take over streets in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth as thousands attend rallies - The streets of Sydney, Brisbane and Perth have turned into a sea of green, red, black and white as thousands take part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. In Sydney, attendees stretched from the steps of Town Hall along the tram tracks of George Street in the city's centre, chanting "free free Palestine" and "shame shame Albanese". A number of speakers addressed the crowd including representatives from the Indigenous and Palestinian communities, Jenny Leong from the Greens NSW and Michelle Berkon from Jews Against the Occupation. The march was given late approval on Friday as NSW Premier Chris Minns promised a "zero tolerance" approach to any violence or hate speech.
>>19780599 Thousands left shaken by earthquake in Victorian tourist hotspot - A 5.0 Magnitude earthquake has left residents of a Victorian tourist hotspot shaken up - and caused damage close to the centre of Melbourne. The quake struck near Colac and Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road just after 2am on Sunday morning with people as far away as Melbourne feeling the tremors. Over 5,000 "felt reports" have been submitted to Geoscience Australia by people across Victoria. Siesmologist Adam Pascale said the earthquake was the largest to happen in Victoria since September 2021, when the state was hit by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake. The initial quake in Colac was followed by a 3.6 magnitude aftershock in Apollo Bay just before 6am. There have been reports of minor damage but no injuries, according to the Victoria State Emergency Service.
>>19792260 ABC Middle East correspondent Tom Joyner is under investigation over 'bullshit' beheaded baby comment - ABC managing director David Anderson has revealed its Middle Eastern correspondent Tom Joyner is under investigation after he labelled reports about babies being beheaded by Hamas terrorists as "bullshit" in a WhatsApp group with international media. At Senate estimates on Tuesday, Mr Anderson said the public broadcaster is "certainly looking into it, investigating it." "I am sorry that happened, and I am sorry that event occurred and that was then distressing to other people as well, it shouldn't have happened," he said. "He was at the time doing what journalists were doing, and that was trying to verify what sources could back up what claims are being made at the time." Joyner, who has been reporting on the conflict between Israel and Palestine, told a WhatsApp chat group earlier this month - in comments that have since been deleted - that he disputed reports from around the world about babies being beheaded being true.

Thousands left shaken by earthquake in Victorian tourist hotspot
ANGUS MCINTYRE - OCTOBER 22, 2023
A 5.0 Magnitude earthquake has left residents of a Victorian tourist hotspot shaken up - and caused damage close to the centre of Melbourne.
The quake struck near Colac and Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road just after 2am on Sunday morning with people as far away as Melbourne feeling the tremors.
Over 5,000 "felt reports" have been submitted to Geoscience Australia by people across Victoria.
Radio host Jacqui Felgate shared photos from Brighton in Melbourne, where a wall appeared to have collapsed as a result of the quake.
The image showed bricks strewn across the footpath and the road.
"Brighton earthquake damage," she captioned the image.
"Woke up here in Colac wondering what the loud bang was, then thought the shaking floor was that my husband probably fell over," Hannah, a local resident wrote on Facebook.
"But nope ... earthquake. It was intense!"
Other people living near the epicentre reported their houses violently shaking, with one woman saying she was worried her roof was going to cave in.
Siesmologist Adam Pascale said the earthquake was the largest to happen in Victoria since September 2021, when the state was hit by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake.
"We're expecting aftershocks to continue for some months, so be prepared," he said,
Geoscience Australia, a government agency carrying out geoscientific research, were urging anyone who felt the effects to submit a report online to assist their team of seismologists analysing the quake.
The initial quake in Colac was followed by a 3.6 magnitude aftershock in Apollo Bay just before 6am.
There have been reports of minor damage but no injuries, according to the Victoria State Emergency Service.
The SES also warned locals to remain alert for aftershocks.
If one occurs, you should drop to the ground and take cover under a sturdy item like a table until the shaking stops, the SES said.
Sunday morning's tremor is the second in Victoria this month after residents in an area in the state's east woke to a "loud rumble" on October 7.
A 5.9 magnitude quake, one of the biggest ever recorded in the state, destroyed several buildings in Melbourne in 2021.
