Morning everyone. This morning we review the 48 hours of political manoeuvres where a show of strength by rightwing MPs persuaded the Liberal party to turn its back on a vital target in battling climate change.
We’re also reporting from South Australia on a “trivialising” bingo-style stunt by an anti-abortion campaigner, and why at least 30,000 people have lost their qualifications. In the US, Donald Trump faces a potentially damaging vote on Jeffrey Epstein and one of our regular columnists celebrates Elon Musk being unfunny.
