Good evening
And that’s where we’ll leave you this Sunday. Here’s a recap of what we learned today:
• Anthony Albanese has said South Pacific nations have been “very positive” about Canberra’s “re-engagement” as China undertakes a region-wide diplomatic offensive that is raising concerns among western powers.
• Albanese has also vowed to form a constructive relationship with parliament’s expanded crossbench and has warned against underestimating Peter Dutton as opposition leader.
• A Bushmaster vehicle donated by the Australian government as part of military aid to Ukraine has reportedly been destroyed in fighting on the border between Donetsk and Luhansk.
• Baby formula manufacturer Bubs Australia has assured Australians availability will not be affected by a decision to send supplies to the US to help meet a shortage.
• A Sydney Harbour island is returning to Aboriginal hands, with the NSW government committing $43m to its clean-up and repair.
• All residents in Western Australia and South Australia can receive a free flu jab in June.
• And Australia has recorded at least 30 deaths from Covid-19 and more than 27,000 new cases today.
Join us again tomorrow for all the day’s news and current affairs. Have a lovely evening.
