And it is desperately, lethally overdue. Tens of thousands of Palestinians, and many Israelis, have died since last May, when US president Joe Biden first set out the parameters of this agreement. Civilians are still being killed in Israeli airstrikes that have actually intensified since the two sides grudgingly initialled the deal in Qatar.Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere are naturally relieved these merciless Israeli bombardments will soon stop. But celebrations are tempered by fears about the future, and by deep grief and anger over the still terrifying present and immediate past. According to Gaza health ministry figures, more than...

It’s called a shared path for a reason, but a peaceful walkway can turn into something more like a racetrack My family recently moved house (still unpacking those last non-priority boxes) to a spot near a shared pedestrian/cyclist pathway and a few suburbs further from the CBD. We’re enjoying an easy hour’s walk most mornings. We pass wetland reserves full of bird calls and flowering trees and shrubs, eventually reaching the beach, and never needing to cross a road to get there.However another wheeled threat can spoil the serenity – the subset of cyclists who fly past pedestrians as if the shared pathway is a velodrome. It’s especially alarming when a cycling group whoosh-whoosh-whooshes past with never a bell sounded beforehand nor a slowing of speed. Now I appreciate that they are forced to pursue their hobby in a city that hates cyclists. And that many cyclists believe pedestrians will respond poorly if they sound their bell as they approach.
