Not content with announcing Australia’s largest dinosaur find, palaeontologists are already looking ahead to future finds, including an ancient apex predator that would have eaten it for dinner.
The discovery of Cooper in the earth of the Eromanga basin has scientists daring to hope — could Australia’s largest carnivorous dinosaur also be out there, one excavation away from stalking out of the ancient landscape?Titanosaurs such as Cooper are among the largest creatures to have ever lived, with Cooper standing over six metres, or two storeys, tall and as long as a basketball court.

Fragmentary but much larger than Cooper with femur measuring 2.2m vs Cooper’s 1.
“Zac” - likely A. cooperensis. The most complete sauropod skeleton found in Eromanga and possibly Australia. Smaller than Cooper but better preserved.

China criticism proves Australia and Japan are a 'united front' | Sky News AustraliaWest Australian Political Journalist Sarah Ison says Australia and Japan’s joint statement in opposition to China’s coercive behaviour presents a “united front” ahead of the G7 summit. \n\nThe joint statement - which comes after two hours of virtual meetings between Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne, Defence Minister Peter Dutton and their Japanese counterparts - labelled China’s economic behaviour as undermining “the rules-based international system”.\n\nMs Ison says the declaration was “a really pointed statement” against Beijing.\n\n“It was very much the two countries coming together and presenting something of a united front in this statement and it no doubt has already gained criticism from China,” she told Sky News.\n\n“We’ve had a lot of comments and the confirmation that the geo-strategic competition that we’re facing right now will be discussed and that’s code for China’s rise and the competition particularly with the United States.\n\n“Last year Australia had a really tough year with China … and the world was really watching on with apprehension and a lot of worry about what is being deemed as economic coercion, so I think those discussions about where to from here will be had and will be had on the side-lines of the G7.”\n 😂😂😂Your leaders are chosen by American.

Race guilt and race shame are now ‘taking hold’ in Australia: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaCritical race theory is not about justice and equality, it is about “racial vengeance,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“The threat to our freedoms, to our values, it doesn’t just come from outside,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“There’s also plenty of people inside the west who don’t think the west is actually worth defending.\n\n“Who think it’s evil, oppressive, racist, dominated by white people who are rotten to the core.\n\n“I’m telling you, this is coming … it’s this new anti-white racism, or critical race theory.”\n\nMr Bolt said we are seeing more and more white people “react in one of two terrible ways – both also racist”.\n\n“Some resort to the very same racism themselves, they fight anti-white racism with anti-black racism, it’s tribal,” he said.\n\n“Other whites surrender, as members of the guilty race, some literally kowtow to their black neighbours.\n\n“This is what is now taking hold in Australia, race guilt, race shame, judging people by their race, white people bad.\n\n“And this is the country that now – with China rampant - calls on its people to defend it. Good luck.”\n Andrew ...Why is News Corp/SKY trying to bring Critical Race Theory to Australia? Are you trying to bring back the 'White Australia Policy' that ended in the mid-1970s?
