Some independent MPs were briefed on it in late 2024 after they raised concerns. Senator David Pocock told the Saturday Paper the report was “frankly terrifying” and that “we’re woefully unprepared for what’s coming”.

There is effectively a leadership vacuum in Australian politics.

For Albanese and the ALP to poll so poorly, given their dominant position in parliaments and a pathetic opposition - should be a red flag warning for the ALP.

A vacuum of leadership could see a demagogue slip into power.

Iran says players in asylum in Australia are like “hostages” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei criticized this Tuesday (10) the Australian government's decision to grant asylum to five players from the Iranian women's football team who are in the country after participating in the Asian Cup, and considered that they are taking them "as hostages".
