"The Crown filed memorandums... saying it did not have the funds to continue the excavation. They noted the est'd cost would be approx $3.5m." A huge find that could transform our knowledge of Polynesian voyaging and the govt can't spare a few metres of a RoNS to properly excavate and protect it

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

Looks around for our PM? Reciprocal Tariff? Take USA to WTO? Cancel all current VISAs for US citizens here? Cancel Antarctic Cooperation? Cancel Helicopter purchase? Or...
