Cardwell residents return to widespread devastation Residents in Cardwell are returning to the devastated north Queensland town after Cyclone Yasi roared ashore overnight, pummelling the coastal community and decimating houses. More killed in fresh Cairo clashes There are reports that at least two people have been killed in a fresh outbreak of shooting in central Cairo's Tahrir Square. Resort 'stopped staff leaving' ahead of cyclone Relatives of a woman who is stranded on tiny Bedarra Island, off Mission Beach in north Queensland, spent last night terrified for her safety as monster Cyclone Yasi battered the region.

Adjusting the pitch on climate change Something fascinating is happening to the Government's climate change argument. It's replacing morality with economics. In the new Gillard formulation, action on climate change is no longer something to which Australia is morally obliged regardless of the behaviour of other nations; these days, it's an economic race in which it would be perilous to fall behind. The return of the Arab 'street' A few weeks ago, had you asked an expert Middle East observer about the potential for Â'people powerÂ' to change the region, you would have been given short shrift. Washington's affair with Jakarta gets serious Indonesia is the largest country and only democracy in South East Asia and the US now wants to ensure it keeps this emerging regional power on side. Julian Assange and the journalism defence Does it really matter if Julian Assange is a journalist or not? Well, it certainly might matter to him. Under the US Espionage Act, it's an offence for anyone to disclose information pertaining to America's national security and which he "has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States". But a journalist, the courts by and large accept, has an occupational motive for disclosing information that comes his or her way, more or less regardless of consequences. Egypt: much too early to celebrate The illusion at the beginning of a revolution is that everyone wants the same thing. The elation of toppling a corrupt dictator is enormously satisfying, but it does not last. Pragmatic leadership after a revolution is not necessarily enough, and revolutionary turmoil frequently favours, not the best, but the most ruthless.

By Jason Chen Thanks Google, For the Free, Unusable Wi-Fi on Planes This Holiday Did you know Virgin, Delta and AirTran has free Wi-Fi on their planes this holiday season? If you didn't, the flight attendants will tell you when you board—which is bad for those who actually need to use the Wi-Fi. You see, I'm on a plane right now to NYC. Normally I'd pay the $9 (then expense it later) for Wi-Fi on a five-hour flight so I can pass the time with something I should be doing anyway—working. But today? Today it took five minutes for my IM to connect. Today, I have to use plain HTML Gmail. Plain. HTML. On a computer, not a phone. Did you even know that existed anymore? It's like going back to the town you grew up in and seeing that that crappy mall no one goes to is still just as crappy as when you left it. I appreciate the thought, Google, for giving Wi-Fi to the masses. The people who think that it's a good idea to stream Netflix on a pipe that's shared by 150-odd people. The folks who, because they're now on Wi-Fi, are updating all their iPhone apps that they didn't do over 3G. But think of free Wi-Fi vs. paid Wi-Fi like a public restroom vs. an executive bathroom. If Chevron charged a dollar for toilet-use, things wouldn't be so shitty. Share this:

Queensland takes stock after night of terror Details are emerging of the trail of destruction left by Cyclone Yasi, with the north Queensland towns of Innisfail, Tully, Mission Beach and Cardwell bearing the brunt of the monster storm during a terrifying night. Diggers involved in 'serious' Afghan incident The Australian Defence Force says there has been a serious incident involving Australian troops in Afghanistan. Call for calm amid Cairo battles Egyptian vice-president Omar Suleiman called for anti-government protests to end after more than 600 people were injured in clashes between rival demonstrators in the centre of Cairo. Queenslanders describe night of terror Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi has smashed into the Queensland coast, leaving a trail of destruction and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to bunker down in homes and emergency shelters. Here is what people have to say on the disaster: Cyclone babies born in Cairns, Innisfail A baby was born at a Cairns evacuation centre and two more in Innisfail Hospital amid the chaos and devastation as Cyclone Yasi hammered north Queensland overnight.

We watch and we wait and we hope What an eerie feeling it was to watch through last night, on ABC News24 and elsewhere, interviews with North Queenslanders about the impending destruction of their homes. Our worst fears weren't realised, even though the overnight destruction was extreme. Let's hope in the aftermath we can avoid some of the political foolishness of recent weeks. Coincidence or climate change? Climate change is not the reason for the recent spate of natural disasters across Australia, but according to the people in charge of providing solutions, climate change caused by human activities has made the floodwaters higher and the cyclones bigger and more powerful than they otherwise would have been. Bigger cyclones and higher floodwaters cost lives. If the brightest minds in Australian science think we're at least partially to blame, surely climate change really is – to quote our former prime minister – the greatest moral challenge of our time. Egypt: much too early to celebrate The illusion at the beginning of a revolution is that everyone wants the same thing. The elation of toppling a corrupt dictator is enormously satisfying, but it does not last. Pragmatic leadership after a revolution is not necessarily enough, and revolutionary turmoil frequently favours, not the best, but the most ruthless. Media bias blunts reporting on Egypt's uprising The nicest thing one can say about the reporting from the Middle East and Mahgreb at the moment is that it is naive. Bad economics, bad policy The politics of the levy is at best ill-conceived. Why would you seek to fight on your opponent's well-established, turf?
