Oppenheimer has been released in Japan, eight months after its global release.
We spoke to historian Naoko Wake to learn why the U.S. refuses to take accountability for the war crimes it committed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and why all of this is relevant to us today.

Why are the Greens so rabidly pro-car? We should be building more public transport options to make it easier for people to get around without owning a car! And we need to pay for that with taxes that the state government can levy, which the High Court just made it harder to do!
The Greens fought against this ridiculous tax on electric cars when it was first introduced. Now Labor must refund all electric car users. Transport is our fastest growing source of emissions -we need to make it easier to switch to climate-friendly transport, not more expensive!

my parents' house is in the pink patches, and they weren't allowed to build a second storey on their house without changing the roofline because of a heritage overlay. so its even worse than you thought.
Why is Brunswick—one of Melbourne’s trendiest suburbs—almost entirely restricted to low-density housing? Why can you only build two storey single dwellings around its plentiful train and tram stops?
