Susan Lee says the opposition does not use scare tactics in the vote
Susan’s Law He was out and about early this morning at the press fair. Liberal Vice Leader stopped a quick roadblock as I was asked about the Asio boss Mike Burgess Warning in estimates that the referendum campaign could incite spontaneous violence.
Ley was asked if she thought the opposition had resorted to “scare-intimidation” tactics and says:
of course not. We will join everyone in this house in calling for a respectful discussion. Of course, discussion should be respectful, and overwhelmingly it is. As I travel around Australia, people ask me questions about what a plebiscite means and how it will close the gap between Indigenous Australians, because that’s where people’s hearts are. This is what they want to see, and this is what they are looking for in this referendum. I can’t answer those questions because Anthony Albanese said “Wait until the referendum, and then we’ll take six months to work out the details.” People want details now.
But overwhelmingly, people ask for these details in a respectful way, and we will always call out the extremists, who act disrespectfully, who have divisive language, who don’t handle this referendum the way all referendums should be. Treated in Australia. We will always call that.
But overwhelmingly, I’m happy to say that people are asking real questions. Unfortunately, they did not get answers.

A national survey was released today as part of a federal government expert panel’s review of the following school reform agreement.
The agreement, to inform the future of the education system, has been postponed by Labor until 2024.
Minister of Education Jason Clare He said the survey will be open to teachers, parents and students, looking at how to improve education outcomes, student health and well-being as well as how to support and retain teachers.
Led expert committee Dr. Lisa O’Brien, will report to education ministers at the end of October, with the survey to remain open until late June. O’Brien said they will visit schools across the country.
We want to hear from everyone connected to Schools Australia about what is working, what is not working, and what is needed most to improve student learning and wellbeing outcomes.”

More than 100 Australian academics and researchers have called on the Albanian government to rethink the nuclear-powered submarine plan, arguing that it is risky, expensive and will increase dependence on the United States.
An open letter to the government, signed by 110 people, says it is “foolish to associate Australia’s most expensive and deadly defense capability with an increasingly uncertain ally, which is in relative decline, politically unstable, and shows worrying signs of sliding into an illiberal democracy”.
Thesis is coordinated by Macquarie University course academics Scapatura winsHe says:
Aukus will come at a huge financial cost with a great deal of uncertainty of its success. It is likely to compound strategic risks for Australia, escalate geopolitical tensions, and undermine efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation.
puts australia At odds with our closest neighbors in the region, distract us from tackling climate change, and risk increasing the risk of nuclear war.
Australian self-defense independence will only be eroded by Aukus. All this will be done to shore up the primacy of an ally whose position in Asia is more fragile than is usually assumed, and whose domestic politics are increasingly unstable.
The letter – signed by a former Australian ambassador, Richard Bronowskiand founder of the Sydney Peace Foundation Stuart Reese – Says Aukus “It will provide Australia with a strong ability to strike Chinese naval forces close to their home ports and, in alliance with the United States, play a front-line role in hunting down China’s nuclear-armed submarine force and its second-strike nuclear deterrence capability.”
Signatories also included Peter Stanleya former lead historian of the Australian War Memorial, W.H Albert Palazzo, former director of war studies at the Australian Army Research Centre. The full list and message can be found here.

Birmingham on human rights concerns in India
More on ABC RN Radio Breakfast and the Moderate Liberal Simon Birmingham He was on the fence about whether anyone should raise human rights groups’ concerns about the treatment of Muslims and other minorities in India with its prime minister, Narendra Modi. Anthony Albanese Will meet him later this morning, but Birmingham and Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton It will also be a chance to meet him.
Australia must always be predictable and consistent with how we apply our values in the world…
Our values are our own, and we can’t control what happens in other countries.
Albanese and Moody meet
The big meeting between Albanese and Modi will start at 10am AEST. But first, there’s the usual little fanfare and remarks leading up to the meeting as each side pretends it’s perfectly normal to greet each other in front of the media cameras and talk about how strong the two countries’ relationship is.
It will all start about 30 minutes early.

Good morning
We have reached the third day of sitting in the House of Representatives only and estimates and we are all still the same.
Anthony Albanese will follow up last night’s community event with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, with a bilateral meeting this morning at the Admiralty House.
On the last night in front of some 20,000 fans of Moody and first Australian winner Guy Sebastian, Albanese referred to Moody as “the boss” – Bruce Springsteen-style. He’s been pointing out that the last time he was in Olympic Park he saw Springsteen the crowd wasn’t anywhere near excited.
“Prime Minister Modi is the president,” Albanese declared gleefully.
Now the couple will sit in the sober Admiralty House and discuss defense and trade. Human rights observers hope that Muslims and other minorities will be treated in India under Modi. Modi is nearing the end of his second term as prime minister and is expected to be re-elected for a third term, so the relationship between Modi and Albanese has time to continue building. In his first year as prime minister, Albanese has met Modi six times already. Australia is serious about building stronger trade and defense relations with India. But friends can still point out disagreement issues.
Meanwhile, in Parliament, the House of Representatives sat late to get more speakers on the referendum bill. About 101 House members want to talk about it so far, so the House will sit tonight as well to try to get through another big segment. This debate will be allowed to run its course but it plays out pretty much as you would expect – Labor, Greens, Independents for Liberals, Citizens against them.
It will pass the Senate with the Greens and Jackie Lambie network and the government has shown no signs of wanting to amend the question so that it remains “executive”. But we have a lot of speeches to go through first.
We’ll cover the day for you, including the grading hearings – and we hope that means you can have some fun.
It’s at least four morning coffee. And maybe a piece of cake for breakfast a bit in the day.
ready?
