ABC Apologizes After Claudia Long Fabricates False Claims About Two High-Profile Politicians

The ABC has offered a humble apology following an erroneous accusation made by one of its reporters who falsely implicated two Nationals MPs for neglecting their constituencies during critical times when people are facing life-threatening situations. Claudia Long, the political correspondent for the national broadcaster, stated on "Insiders" last Sunday that National Party members of parliament were absent from their constituencies when the decision was made to dissolve the Coalition. "I believe another crucial aspect for regional areas is having a local representative present during times of crisis, such as floods where lives are lost—this situation occurred earlier this week," she explained to the show. Long particularly mentioned two individuals who perished in the flooding waters within Alison Penfold's potential electorate of Lyne on the Mid-North Coast. Additionally, he pointed out another fatality in Pat Conaghan’s constituency of Cowper, where...

Ford Explorer Tremor: The Ultimate Off-Road Ready SUV

  • The Ford Explorer will add a Tremor model later this year, replacing the pre-refresh Explorer's Timberline trim .
  • Ford didn't share any details about the forthcoming Tremor, but we expect lots of orange accents, a slightly raised suspension, and beefier tires.
  • The new version signifies the conclusion of the Timberline designation, which was previously used for the Explorer and Expedition However, it is being superseded by Tremor variants for each SUV model.

When it comes to off-roading, Ford offers options for everybody. Among them are the formidable Raptor models—which can be found in the F-150 , Ranger , and Bronco Lineups—including the slightly more subdued but nonetheless competent Tremor trim that even adorns the smaller model—remains. Maverick pickup EV enthusiasts can jump into the Mustang Mach-E Rallye while fortunate hardcore racers might have secured a rare production Bronco DR In 2023, Ford is hinting at another addition to the Tremor series by releasing an image that seems to depict a forthcoming Explorer Tremor.

Ford hasn’t officially confirmed which model is receiving the new Tremor trim, but the image gives plenty away. The bottom part of the taillights aligns with those found on the Explorer, and you can clearly read most of the word “Explorer” on the panel above the license plate. This suggests that the Tremor variant will take over where the previous Timberline trim left off for the pre-facelift Explorer—after exiting production post-2023—which follows a comparable change made earlier for the larger Expedition.

Ford didn't provide any other details about the upcoming Explorer Tremor, but we can look to the Expedition for clues of what to expect. Ford Added the off-road package to the Expedition for the 2025 model year. , coinciding with a significant overhaul for the F-150-based SUV. The Expedition Tremor wears skid plates underneath to shield the transfer case and fuel tank, gains a pair of side steps, and rides on 33-inch-tall all-terrain tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels. The other changes are purely visual, with a plethora of orange trim inside and out, a restyled grille with inboard auxiliary lights, and tow hooks in the front bumper.

We expect the Ford Explorer Tremor to pack many of the same upgrades as the Timberline, which featured a slight suspension lift, retuned springs, and a Torsen limited-slip rear differential. The powertrain should remain the base turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Ford didn't provide any specifics on when to expect the Explorer Tremor, simply stating it will debut later this year.
