Pauline Hanson declared in a recent News24 documentary: "I don't back down". This week Hanson and her party followed through, in two high-risk demonstrations of heels firmly dug in. In the face of demands from Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie, Hanson refused to withdraw one of her Please Explain animated cartoons that depicts (in multiple mentions) the decorated former soldier as a "traitor".
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Angus Taylor have met twice this week to explore the possibility of a deal on measures to tighten the migration system. The talks come as the government has struggled to finalise reforms to stop rorts and to help bring down the Net Overseas Migration (NOM) from the present about 300,000 to the budget target of 225,000 in 2027-28.
Writer Blanche d’Alpuget has died aged 82, leaving a lasting imprint on Australian literature, and having influenced the course of political history with her pathbreaking 1982 book on the then prime ministerial aspirant, Bob Hawke.

Politics
US President Donald Trump has sharply criticised the Supreme Court after the justices declined to allow new restrictions on mail-in voting to take effect ahead of November’s midterm elections. The decision represents a setback for the Trump administration, which has sought to impose tighter requirements on postal ballots as part of a broader effort to change how federal election-related mail is handled.
