Good morning. In our top story, Greens leader Adam Bandt tells us that changes to the petroleum resource rent tax have been “written by the gas lobby”, as the minor party warns Labor that it can’t count on its backing for the proposals. Meanwhile, the government is being urged to provide free menstrual products in all public bathrooms as cost-of-living pressures bite. Overseas, Russia has started moving nuclear warheads to Belarus – and the founder of the far-right Oath Keepers is hit with a long prison sentence over his role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
