I would like to confirm that #Slovakia has provided #Ukraine with an air-defence system S-300. #Ukrainian nation is #bravely defending its sovereign country and us too. It is our duty to help, not to stay put and be ignorant to the loss of human lives under #Russia’s agression.

Russia bombs the weakest members of society, the pregnant women and their newborns. The enormity of the crimes committed by Russia in the war against Ukraine is hard to grasp. Photo from the Russian attack against a maternity clinic in Mariupol by @EMaloletka.

From @Breakingviews: U.S. farmers should receive around $50 billion in federal aid this year – a new record. Some help was needed to counter Covid-19 shutdowns, but long-term subsidies can distort markets, @Three_Guineas explains

Indeed. Aus makes good cheeses, and is free to GI Adelaide Hills Camembert since - little known fact ignored by our US friends! - Camembert, Brie, cheddar et al are not in themselves protected names! Encourage Aus dairy to move upwards the quality chain!

How great would it be to see these #regional names used on #cheese & other #food products protected as #GeographicalIndications? This might be possible under a new #GI right that the #Australian government is receiving submissions on under a public consultation @IPAustralia. 👏🏼
