Morning everyone. The fallout from the Israel-Hamas war will continue to reverberate through Australian politics today after a senior United Nations official urged the government to stop giving “leeway” to Israel. It will intensify the spotlight already trained brightly on the Albanese government by the opposition leader Peter Dutton amid heated scenes in parliament yesterday. Opinions about the conflict were also aired at the Aria music awards last night.
The other issue that the opposition is pushing on is the high court’s decision on indefinite immigration detention which resulted in the release of 81 people: we can reveal the government’s first step in tackling that. Plus there’s news of windfarms, whales and a misinformation mystery. And India has dispatched New Zealand at the cricket World Cup.
