Trump said Australia's offshore concentration camps were a 'good idea' back in 2017. If Australia's policies in any way inspired this, the people involved should be credited for their global role in state-sanctioned torture.

Woolworths takes $50m hit as strike leads to empty shelves The supermarket giant filed an urgent application with the Fair Work Commission to end industrial action blocking distribution centres

$50 MILLION - the amount of money Woolworths is willing to pay to ignore striking workers' call for a fair workplace.
