A piece of wood is not a plate

FILE - In this April 16, 2017, file photo, Lorde performs at Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Lorde's "Melodrama" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the year on Tuesday, Nov. 28. Lorde has cancelled a performance in Israel scheduled for next summer after appeals by pro-Palestinian activists. The New Zealand musician said in a statement Sunday that "the right decision at this time" was to cancel her June 2018 concert in Tel Aviv, which was announced earlier this month.

Editorial: Dastyari has done his dash

ULTIMATELY it was a question of if, not when. Sam Dastyari, one of the ALP’s rising stars, finally crashed irrevocably back to Earth yesterday after the build-up of stories about his involvement with Chinese donors became too much to bear.
