We also remain gravely concerned by the humanitarian situation in Gaza and UN reports that northern Gaza is increasingly being cut off from essential supplies due to access restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities. This cannot continue.

Palestinian civilians cannot be made to pay the price for defeating Hamas.

We repeat our call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the unconditional release of all hostages, a significant and sustained increase in the flow of humanitarian assistance.

n

Parties must agree to the plan put forward by the United States and endorsed by the United Nations security council. Delays are costing lives.

The Australian government has implemented sanctions on 200 Iran-linked individuals and entities. Despite over 40,000 deaths in Gaza, the Australian government has not yet sanctioned any Israeli government or military officials. This now looks like a lack of consistency and proportionality in how we hold governments committing gross human rights violations to account.

After over a year of conflict, we have continued to see atrocities throughout Gaza, including horrific scenes at Al-Aqsa hospital where civilians were burned alive. The human toll has been beyond catastrophic. We urgently need a ceasefire.

The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, claims the government’s announcement about banning debit card surcharges was only “a plan for a plan”, criticising Labor for not yet following through on promised reforms to gambling ads and social media age limits.

Returning to his earlier press conference in Sydney, Dutton said the Coalition was “very happy to look at anything the government is going to propose, but it’s not an announcement. It’s just that they’re looking at it and it could come in in 2026.”

The government promised to introduce reforms to online gambling – nothing’s happened. They promised to introduce age verification – nothing has happened. The government makes all of these announcements, but never delivers anything, and I think this is just the latest example.

Last Thursday, the department published new details about its temporary humanitarian stay visas, allowing newly arrived Palestinians the possibility of a three-year visa. The option is similar to the pathway offered to Ukrainians fleeing the country following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

The two-step process would see an individual being granted a subclass 449 Humanitarian Stay (Temporary) visa initially – a visa that does not grant Medicare access. Individuals would then be offered a subclass 786 Temporary (Humanitarian Concern) visa, which is valid for three years.

Jobseeker is now just 20% of the average wage, data released by Australian Council of Social Service (Acoss) for anti-poverty week has revealed.

While the average wage in Australia is $1,923 a week, jobseeker is just $393, the Acoss briefing on solutions to poverty shows. The payment is only 43% of the $916-per-week minimum wage, and has dropped to just 69% of the $572-per-week pension.

Youth Allowance at $319.50 a week is even lower, making up just 17% of the average wage, 35% of the minimum wage and 56% of the pension.

Australia’s totally inadequate income support payments are a primary cause of poverty in one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. Our unemployment payment is among the lowest in the OECD. It is a political choice and driving persistent poverty.

People receiving youth allowance or jobseeker are falling further behind both people in paid work and pensioners. Every day, people doing it tough are forced to go hungry, forgo essential medicine, and worry about finding or keeping a roof over their head.

In a press conference in Sydney, Dutton was asked about Albanese’s latest property purchase at Copacabana. Dutton responded: “It’s a matter for the prime minister, but I wish he and Jodie [Haydon, his fiance] well, and they’re obviously planning for the next stage of life, post-politics. And I wish them well.”

But the homeowners in Australia that I’m worried about at the moment are people who can’t afford their mortgages. People have had 12 interest rate increases, and interest rates should come back, as they’re doing in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and New Zealand, but because of Mr Albanese’s bad economic management, we’re seeing inflation remain higher here and therefore, interest rates remain higher as well.

It is believed the offenders used the black BMW X5 to ram the door two or three times, before jumping out of the vehicle and entering the store. The ramming then led to a fire inside the business.

We are on the verge of losing an entire generation of artists in this country because of these issues and, you know, it’s such an important part of what makes us the great country that we are. Art helps us understand what we’re going through, where we’ve come from, where we’re going. It helps us to communicate, to connect. There’s a lot of pressures right now and music and art really helps us as a community to come together when times are tough and we need it more than ever right now.

I want to thank my Liberal party colleagues for their continued support for me over the past 20 years – and during my time as a minister in cabinet. I want to thank the premier [Jeremy Rockliff] for his support and backing over the past few months – both personally and as a colleague – this friendship is one that I have returned to him during my time as his deputy premier.

Our top story this morning is that Labor is launching another initiative to ease the cost-of-living pressures on Australians by proposing to outlaw the charges we rack up when paying for things with debit cards. They will also instruct the consumer watchdog to investigate excessive card costs, as the transaction charges get set for an overhaul.

The Queensland premier, Steven Miles, says in an exclusive interview with us today that he would rather see a minority Liberal National party government in power after the 26 October state election than horse-trade with independents and minor parties to share government. Miles faces a stiff task to overcome a big deficit in the polls to stay in power against the challenge from David Crisafulli’s LNP.

George Negus remembered by Nine Entertainment colleagues

Nine Entertainment says many of George Negus’s friends and former colleagues at the network are remembering him as “a powerhouse of Australian broadcast journalism”.

Negus, who had Alzheimer’s disease, has died at the age of 82.

In a statement, Nine said:

Negus joined Channel 9 in the late 1970s, legendary producer Gerald Stone recognised his distinctive style and hired George to be one of the founding reporters for the then brand-new current affairs program, 60 Minutes.

Along with Ray Martin and Ian Leslie, George instantly became a household name in Australia. He was the reporter with the gruff voice, the big moustache and the bucketload of opinions.

George’s trademark way of telling stories ensured he was never accused of being dull. He famously got under the skin of British PM Margaret Thatcher; he flirted with actor Meryl Streep; and he showed his great compassion in an extraordinary interview with Mother Teresa.

Nine’s director of television, Michael Healy, said:

“Today, Australia lost one of its greatest storytellers. When you watched a George Negus interview it was thoughtful, intelligent, composed. He was always in control.”

Kirsty Thomson, 60 Minutes executive producer, said:

Everyone at 60 Minutes sends love to George’s family.

We are so proud to work at a program that’s always been inspired by George’s trailblazing journalism and globetrotting genius.

NSW Young Greens seemingly back vandalism of Labor MP’s office

The NSW Young Greens have seemingly backed vandalism to Labor MP Peter Khalil’s office, which occurred early yesterday morning.

Victoria police alleged that paint was sprayed and a door was damaged at the MP’s Melbourne electorate office, with an unknown liquid allegedly poured through the door.

Khalil said the vandalism included an inverted red triangle, a symbol associated with Hamas and that has been used to indicate Israeli military targets, and that the stench from the unknown substance was “so unbearable that staff immediately closed the door, and five hours later still feel overwhelmed and sick from the intensity”.

The NSW Young Greens wrote on Instagram that it considers property damage “as a legitimate form of non-violent direct action”.

The NSWYG acknowledges the long standing history of The Greens supporting non-violent direct action.

Yesterday, the Greens leader, Adam Bandt, denounced the vandalism in a post to X and said “protests must always be peaceful and non-violent”.

Everyone should feel safe at work, and we wish Peter Khalil and his team well after this vandalism overnight.

The NSW Greens were contacted for comment.

Google says proposed misinformation laws would affect ‘exercise of lawful speech’

Google, one of the world’s biggest multinational tech companies, has said the Albanese government’s proposed law to counter misinformation would “ultimately impact the exercise of lawful speech in Australia”.

The law, introduced in September, would give the communications and media regulator more powers to categorise material publicly shared as “reasonably verifiable as false, misleading or deceptive and reasonably likely to cause or contribute to serious harm”.

In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the bill, Google said it was supportive of efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation, but didn’t agree with the government’s approach.

The search engine turned tech conglomerate said there weren’t “clear guardrails” for the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s oversight and enforcement powers.

Under the bill, ACMA would be given new information-gathering and record-keeping powers to force tech companies to hand over details on how they self-regulate.

Elsewhere in its submission, Google also suggested the bill focus on disinformation – where false information is intentionally and deceptively shared – rather than misinformation.

Its submission said:

Unlike misinformation, disinformation involves an intent to deceive and as a result is more objectively assessable. It has been narrowly defined in other instruments around the world, including the Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation. It is also the class of content that carries the greater risk of harm to Australia.

‘Palestinian civilians cannot be made to pay the price for defeating Hamas’, Wong’s office says

Daniel Hurst

The Australian government has said it is “appalled by the unacceptable deaths of innocent civilians as a result of Israel’s operations in Gaza”.

A spokesperson for the foreign affairs minister, Penny Wong, made the comment this afternoon and reiterated that Australia was calling for civilians to be protected. Wong’s spokesperson added:

We also remain gravely concerned by the humanitarian situation in Gaza and UN reports that northern Gaza is increasingly being cut off from essential supplies due to access restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities. This cannot continue.

The spokesperson said Israel “must comply” with the international court of justice’s binding orders, including to enable the provision of basic services and humanitarian assistance at scale in Gaza:

Australia has repeatedly conveyed its concerns about the situation in Gaza directly to Israel.

Palestinian civilians cannot be made to pay the price for defeating Hamas.

We repeat our call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the unconditional release of all hostages, a significant and sustained increase in the flow of humanitarian assistance.

Parties must agree to the plan put forward by the United States and endorsed by the United Nations security council. Delays are costing lives.

Man charged with assault on NSW north coast

A man has been charged after an alleged assault on New South Wales’ north coast.

Emergency services were called to a caravan park on Lawson Street in Byron Bay at about 3:30am, after reports of an assault, NSW police said.

A 39-year-old man was found with a serious head injury. He was treated at the scene before being airlifted to Gold Coast university hospital in a critical condition.

Another 39-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to Byron Bay police Station.

He was charged with affray and granted conditional bail to appear before Byron Bay local court in November.

PM remembers journalist George Negus as a ‘wonderful human being’

Another look at some of the tributes that are landing on social media following the announcement of the death of veteran broadcaster George Negus.

Anthony Albanese called Negus, who died at the age of 82, “a wonderful human being”.

“George sought and served the truth with steely determination and a twinkle in his eye, and along the way, he made even the smallest TV screen feel that much bigger”, he wrote on X.

George Negus was a giant of Australian journalism. His courage, curiosity and integrity gave millions of Australians a sense of the big issues on 60 Minutes, and a window to the world through Foreign Correspondent.

Digital payments ‘much cheaper than cash’, Labor MP tells ABC amid proposal to scrap debit card transaction fees

Over to Afternoon Briefing, where host Greg Jennett is exploring the Labor government’s proposal to scrap debit card surcharges.

Jerome Laxale from the Labor-held Sydney seat of Bennelong told the ABC that the argument that digital payment systems had embedded costs held no water.

All these arguments fall apart when you compare digital payments to cash. There have been embedded costs for cash for millennia that have been carried in certain ways, particularly by banks – and even recently banks said they are paying up to $350 million each to circulate cash around. As they should.

We know digital payments are effectively much cheaper than cash. We had evidence of that nature at the bank hearing.

He said surcharges were a “byproduct of laws that are now approaching 20 years old. They need updating.”
