โ€˜We support the USโ€™: Albaneseโ€™s response to strikes on Iran As the Albanese government refuses to be drawn on the legality of USโ€“Israeli strikes on Iran, key advisers are seeking to frame the conflict in domestic terms.

During his visit to Australia, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has shown a way to condemn Iran's threats to international security and keep the US as an ally, without rushing to support and defend its unlawful attacks in the Middle East. satpa.pe/CVz1AXv

Exclusive: Joyce on Rinehartโ€™s support for One Nation The former Nationals leader has confirmed Gina Rinehart is among many โ€˜substantial supportersโ€™ he has brought to the far-right party.

"Weโ€™re a grassroots movement, and thatโ€™s what weโ€™re proud of," says Nationals leader David Littleproud. "Weโ€™d rather fight campaigns on our values, on our beliefs, than have a billionaire tell us how we should vote and how we should run our party." satpa.pe/3MYSdFP

Calls for action on endometriosis The discovery of alleged malpractice by an endometriosis specialist has sharpened calls for an action plan to protect sufferers, as recommended by a landmark inquiry last year.

Endometriosis affects at least one in seven Australians assigned female at birth but it takes, on average, seven to 10 years to receive a formal diagnosis in this country. Can the scandal around unnecessary surgeries mark a change in the treatment of women's pain? satpa.pe/dFAG0PQ

โ€˜We support the USโ€™: Albaneseโ€™s response to strikes on Iran As the Albanese government refuses to be drawn on the legality of USโ€“Israeli strikes on Iran, key advisers are seeking to frame the conflict in domestic terms.

When asked whether the US and Israel's strikes against Iran were lawful, Albanese and his ministers have relied on a series of talking points that leave the question unanswered.

The speed of Albanese's endorsement was striking. Australia had not been consulted or given prior warning about the operation, and the legal basis for the strikes continues to remain unclear. Yet the government's response was unqualified. satpa.pe/vtplY7y

Murray Wattโ€™s licence to kill endangered species in Tasmania Murray Wattโ€™s latest approval for Korea Zinc includes a table that explicitly permits the company to kill thousands of native animals a year, including critically endangered species such as the swift parrot.

Ordinarily, companies can be fined up to $16.5 million for the killing of threatened or endangered species. Individuals can be sent to prison for seven years. Korea Zinc will face no such consequence.
