Flat Earth: Gone walkabout
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IRANIAN newspapers are calling for the expulsion of the Australian ambassador saying he drove to a military zone in the desert east of Tehran on a spying mission. The Australian Foreign Ministry rather stiffly agreed that he was indeed in the area, but that, bored with the main highway, he decided to take ''a scenic route'' along a river bed parallel to the road, where he became bogged down and had to ask for help at a local salt mine.
That's the trouble with Iranians: they've never really grasped the true-blue Ocker spirit that takes over a man when he's in the Outback.
