Memorial to the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski at the Consulate-General of Poland.
“WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.
President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about half a mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of flaming fuselage across a bare forest.
The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion. And in a bizarre twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.
“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.”
“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.”
Location: Polish Consulate in Woollahra, Sydney, Australia.

Iran reopens long-shut Saudi embassy, confirming detente
Iran reopened on Tuesday its embassy in Saudi Arabia after a seven-year closure, reaffirming a Chinese-brokered rapprochement that has redrawn the region's diplomatic map.
The Iranian mission resumes in its former premises in Riyadh's diplomatic quarter -- near Syria's embassy, which is also expected to reopen soon following Saudi outreach to Damascus.
"We consider today an important day in the relations of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Alireza Bigdeli told a flag-raising ceremony.
"The cooperation between the countries is entering a new era."
In March, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to restart their respective embassies and work towards resuming ties, after Riyadh in 2016 broke off relations following Iranian protests.
Saudi Arabia has yet to confirm when it will open its embassy in Tehran or its pick for ambassador, although a Saudi delegation visited the Iranian capital in April.
Tuesday's reopening coincides with a visit by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Saudi Arabia, which comes as the oil-rich kingdom has been forging closer relations with Washington's rivals.
The ceremony at the embassy was also attended by Ali Al Youssef, director of consular affairs at the Saudi foreign ministry.
The mission returns under the leadership of Alireza Enayati, Iran's former ambassador to Kuwait.
Sunni Muslim power Saudi Arabia severed relations with Shiite-led Iran in 2016 after its embassy in Tehran and consulate in the northwestern city of Mashhad were attacked during protests over Riyadh's execution of Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
After years of discord, the two Middle East heavyweights signed a surprise reconciliation agreement in China on March 10.
Since then, Saudi Arabia has restored ties with Tehran ally Syria and ramped up a push for peace in Yemen, where it has for years led a military coalition against the Iran-backed Huthi forces.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have backed opposing sides in conflict zones across the Middle East for years.
Blinken is expected to meet the Saudi de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah during his visit, according to a US official.
The top US diplomat is also due to attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday.
I first saw this vandalism on the Friday morning on my way to Drupal Camp. I wanted to take a picture, but someone was there cleaning up so I said I'll get it on my way back.
On the way back to Union, I pulled out my camera ready to take a picture when I saw 4 cop cars in front of this building, no doubt due to this vandalism. I decided I'd wait until the next morning.
On the quiet Saturday morning, no one was around, so I was finally able to snap this picture. It appears that the anti-war movement in Toronto has been a pretty big deal around this particular building. www.nowar.ca/
