Exclusive: Joyce on Rinehartโ€™s support for One Nation The former Nationals leader has confirmed Gina Rinehart is among many โ€˜substantial supportersโ€™ he has brought to the far-right party.

"Weโ€™re a grassroots movement, and thatโ€™s what weโ€™re proud of," says Nationals leader David Littleproud. "Weโ€™d rather fight campaigns on our values, on our beliefs, than have a billionaire tell us how we should vote and how we should run our party." satpa.pe/3MYSdFP

If there was ever a moment for Australiaโ€™s shift to renewables and EVs, this is it Yes, Australia needs fuel. But the Middle East war also shows the necessity of setting ourselves up for the future * Want to get this in your inbox when it publishes? Sign up for the Clear Air Australia newsletter here Itโ€™s been three years since the Albanese government received a report by the Office of National Intelligence looking at how the climate crisis is likely to fuel national security threats, but we still donโ€™t know what the report says. It was deemed classified โ€“ too sensitive, apparently, for even a redacted version to be made available for public discussion. Some independent MPs were briefed on it in late 2024 after they raised concerns. Senator David Pocock told the Saturday Paper the report was โ€œfrankly terrifyingโ€ and that โ€œweโ€™re woefully unprepared for whatโ€™s comingโ€. Beyond that, little is known about its contents other than what can be gleaned from a separate national climate risk assessment that last year warned of potential cascading economic shocks from supply chain disruptions, goods shortages and failing energy systems.

Trans athletes playing in single-sex sport teams - ABC listen A common concern is that transgender women might have an advantage in single-sex teams due to their physical strength and size, but is there research to support this?

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 โ€œhostagesโ€ 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". "They killed more than 165 innocent Iranian students in a double attack with a Tomahawk (cruise missile) in the city of Minab, and now they want to take our athletes hostage guaranteeing that they are 'saving' them? The audacity and hypocrisy are surprising," Bagaei said in a post on the social network X.
