Credit when maturity arrives
I am not a fan of President Trump, it is known that “America, the country of opportunity, where even a fool can be elected president”. Obviously, I believe that Iran should be congratulated for admitting that Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. The world owes Trump and Israel for their action. The world owes Trump to Trump because it enables the peace process to start.
Undoubtedly, Trump has exceeded the authority to go to Congress to get approval for the B2 bombing raid against Iran’s nuclear facilities, but I think the attempt will definitely fail.
I cannot imagine a previous president who will be ready to take this necessary precautions. Now we see politics in the actions of underestimating what he has achieved by his rivals. Give him a loan when the maturity comes. On this occasion, he was given an expert advice and followed it.

Feeling less safe
At the beginning of last week, Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that he had bombed Iran to ız We all feel safe ”. However, the actions did me and of course many people feel less safe. Now, while Netanyahu draws Donald Trump to “military action ,, I feel much less safe than last week.
Is the actions of Netanyahu and Trump based on both the international atomic energy agency and that of the US Department of Foreign Affairs? Intelligence from the same Israeli people and agency, who caused Hamas’s attacks on October 7, 2023 and resulted in the deaths of more than 1200 Israel and perhaps 50,000 Palestinian Gaza, ignoring the warnings of higher activity viewers of Israel?
Why was this intelligence ignored? Maybe then the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger’s words from the 1970s still steal: “There are only 90,000 people there. Who damn?” (“Deep Water”, Good Weekend, 21/6). In a larger scheme, ordinary people are not important for those who are strong.
For a long time, we know that the first causality of war is real and Trump has its own “real” concept. Combine this with preparation for showing that right, agreements, rules or laws, and with preparation to show that compelling control on everyone in orbit provides a dangerous combination.
At a time when we need more global cooperation, not competition, I feel much safer that I spend 5 of the budgets of Trump to address global warming and humanitarian aid rather than war weapons. Trump can later show that he is a real leader.

Israel did not start conflict
Emma Shortis (“Australia needs to find the courage of Australia”, 25/6) is wrong that Israel ğı War against Iran ”and violated international law.
Israel did not start a war with Iran – Iran has fought Israel for a long time, including Hamas, which was financed, financed by the October 7 attacks, coordinated by Iran.
Two times last year, Iran attacked Israel directly with missiles and drones. Israel responded to defense to prevent further rise.
Iran explicitly calls Israel’s demolition, the fund groups dedicated to this goal, and even a countdown clock in Tehran that marks Israel’s so -called death. Isn’t that a war of war?
In this context, Israel’s actions have defended itself. Likewise, the United States took action to protect an ally and to deterrence a regime that requires “death to America .. How is this illegal or undesirable thing?

ABC Charter needs attention
As Karl Quinn wrote, the consequences of the Lattouf case of Antoinette is “potentially deep” (“Lattouf case is much more expensive than money”, 26/6). The result of the case does little to solve the political views of ABC publishers to solve whether he is free.
While ABC decides that Lattouf has violated the Fair Labor Law, refusing to hold or express a certain political view, the Federal Court doubts that ABC’s publishers can continue to claim that their publishers are neutral, fair and balanced.
It may be time to change the ABC statute, to abandon the excuse of impartiality and to allow ABC publishers to express their views clearly. This is a refreshing change from the current situation that most ABC publishers play in neutrality, and it clearly has progressive, left -leaning world views.

Save yourself
I was surprised and disappointed that the federal court said that the journalist Antoinette Lattouf could publish an opinion on the Israeli Gaza War on the social media site.
According to the Association of Journalists, the Media Entertainment and Art Alliance (MEAA), journalists do not allow personal interest, commitment, payment, payment, gift or benefit to weaken your accuracy, justice or independence ”. MEAA also states that journalists disclose conflicts of interest that affect or affect the accuracy, justice or independence of your journalism ”.
Journalists’ views such as politics should be private and should not intervene in any way in their reports.

8 million dollars is super. Really?
The latest ‘Expert ask’ financial advice column (25/6) after reading the first question I was able to press my crocodile tears with difficulty. Inquiries, a retired couple with a united balance of $ 8 million in SMSFs, clearly think that the recommended new super tax is a burden they want to avoid.
Christmas’s answer shows that the extra tax to be paid by assuming that the SMSF’s earnings in 2025/26 is $ 400,000 will be slightly above $ 7000.
Considering that the couple expects a united pension of $ 333,000 in the next financial year, I recommend that they will not fight to pay this additional amount. And assuming that a typical part of the funds is deposited in stocks, the extra tax is likely to be balanced by tax refunds associated with Franking loans.
Kevin Bailey, Croydon

Tax assistant
“There is $ 8 million in SMSF. How do we avoid paying the new super tax?” boils my blood. Pension covers the way that our society, which does not have the concept of greater goodness, is captured by selfish and greedy members. If you have so much money in the Super, you should appreciate your good fortune, and you should be happy to help finance your tax on the services that benefit everyone.

Confidence that erodes confidence
Incorrect information and disinformation increase in disinformation is not a new phenomenon, but Liam Mannix ″ ⁣brett Sutton’s article has passed through a pandemic as mentioned in the article. Now he’s fighting a new war ″, 25/6 is more interested in an increasingly sophisticated AI technology.
Problem Has Been Enabled Primarily Through The Ubiquitous Electronic Media, and in Partners Social Media Who Propagates Beliefs and Opinions often by Those with the Hiddle Agendas Or Inexperienced and Unqualified ile Often mistakenly confuseed with truth and verifiable facts.
As a result, trust in educated and experienced experts, including medical experts, has significantly eroded to the harm of community health. Anything that can be done to reverse or alleviate this trend should be supported. I wish Brett Sutton every success in his efforts to do this. Moreover, education should emphasize the importance of deep, critical thinking and analysis from primary school, thus strengthening populations to distinguish between real and fiction.

‘Red Notification’ Red Flag
I write as an anxious and angry consumer. I needed a plumber to address a toilet failure in my house. I have chosen a sanitary installation service from the internet, which is thousands of five -star reviews. The first hard learned error.
When I called them, I am an old woman at home. I was quoted more than $ 30,000 to address the problem.
I was definitely furnished by this, and I told the plumber to talk to my husband before making any decisions. Then I was transferred to the supervisor via the phone and effectively, if I did not accept their offers without delay, I would find myself with a leakage sewage and I would be given with a “red notification ör that would order me to evacuate my house from the council. This man was so insistent that I felt under bullying and threatening. I refused to succumb to his attempt to force. I advised another plumber that such a job was not necessary and that the problem could be easily corrected and that there was a much less amount.
I know my problem is not unique. I was amazed to find out that there was little way for me to deal with the body of an appropriate management tradesmen who would cause sanctions on this special sanitary installation service.
Undoubtedly, it is wrong for such fraudsters to emerge such clearly and to unjustly shake the reputation of honest tradesmen by the association.
