🚨 ALBANESE’S LOCAL GOLF CLUB GIVEN $6M IN TAXPAYER FUNDING

Marrickville Golf Club, in Anthony Albanese’s electorate, was awarded $6.05 million through Labor’s invitation-only infrastructure grants program. Albanese also held an honorary membership of the club that was not listed on his register of interests.

The club was reportedly the only golf club invited to apply, while almost three-quarters of the $560 million program went to Labor-held electorates and 45 electorates received nothing.

🚨 WOMAN JAILED 7½ YEARS OVER $2.2M NDIS FRAUD

Ebtesam Fahmy, 57, who lives in Sydney, has been sentenced to 7½ years in prison after more than 1,000 false NDIS claims worth around $2.2 million.

Court reporting says Fahmy appeared in a hijab and used an Arabic interpreter during proceedings.

She will serve at least four years before parole eligibility, in what has been reported as the toughest NDIS fraud sentence to date.

⚠️ ASIO DISRUPTED 16 TERROR THREATS IN JUST NINE MONTHS

ASIO chief Mike Burgess says authorities have disrupted 16 serious terrorist threats since the Bondi terror attack, including an antisemitic attack, a plot to kill Muslims, a violent racist allegedly found with weapons and someone allegedly considering bombing a school.

Burgess said the threats were considered serious, although not necessarily imminent, warning Australia faces an increasingly complex terrorism environment.

🚨 SENATE PASSES BILL EXPANDING ESAFETY COMMISSIONER’S POWERS

The Senate has voted 31 to 20 to expand the eSafety Commissioner’s enforcement powers for Australia’s under-16 social media ban.

People relevant to an investigation could be summoned to private examinations, questioned under oath and compelled to produce documents or answer questions. Refusing to comply without a reasonable excuse can carry up to 12 months in prison.

Labor, the Greens, David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie backed the bill. Liberals, Nationals, One Nation, Jacinta Price and Fatima Payman opposed it.

🚨 NDIS DATA MAY HAVE BEEN FED INTO PALANTIR

NDIS participant information may have ended up in Palantir’s data analytics platform through the government’s Fraud Fusion Taskforce

The revelation comes after the NDIA previously denied using Palantir. The agency has now confirmed participant information is shared with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, which has used Palantir, where potential criminal conduct is suspected.

🚨 LABOR MOVES TO EXPAND ESAFETY COMMISSIONER’S POWERS

Labor’s new Digital Duty of Care would put the eSafety Commissioner in charge of enforcing new online harm rules, including content promoting “hostile ideas about women and gender equality” to under-18s.

The Communications Minister would also be able to add new categories of harmful content through government rules, although Parliament could later disallow them. Platforms that fail to comply could face fines of up to $109.2 million.

Thomas Sewell addressed supporters outside the High Court earlier today as the White Australia Party’s constitutional challenge got underway.

At the centre of the case is whether the federal government can ban a political party and make membership of that party a criminal offence.

It feels like something is shifting beneath the surface of Europe.

The AfD has just won in Germany, while in England people have physically turned up at ports and roads to disrupt and protest the continued arrival of migrant boats.

For years, people were told to stay quiet, accept what was happening, and believe that nothing could be changed. Now that silence is beginning to break. These no longer feel like isolated moments. They feel like the first signs of something spreading.

Once people see that elections can be won, that resistance can become visible, and that public anger can no longer be ignored, the fear starts to disappear.

And when that happens in one country, others begin to watch.

For the first time in a long time, it feels like the tide may finally be turning across Europe.

🚨 HIGH COURT TO DECIDE IF GOVERNMENT CAN OUTLAW A POLITICAL GROUP

The White Australia Party is taking the Commonwealth to the High Court today, challenging laws that allow the federal government to declare an organisation a “prohibited hate group”.

Once a group is listed, knowingly remaining a member can carry up to seven years in prison, while recruiting or directing its activities can carry even heavier sentences.

The case raises a much bigger question than one political party: how much power should any government have to decide which political organisations Australians are legally allowed to belong to?

The government says the laws are restricted to groups involved in or advocating hate crimes. The party argues the power goes too far and breaches constitutional protections for political communication.

The proposed funding reportedly includes $280 million over the next two years and a further $700 million after that, covering education, security requests and direct constituency-development programs.

🚨 OVER 1 MILLION USERS EXPOSED IN MATHSPACE DATA BREACH

Australian education provider Mathspace says a data breach has affected 1,079,819 students, parents, school staff and other users across Australia and New Zealand after attackers exploited an unpatched flaw in its internal reporting system.

Stolen data may include names, usernames, email addresses and account activity, although Mathspace says passwords, academic results and login credentials were not exposed.

The NSW Department of Education says it is reviewing whether Mathspace met its obligations when reporting the breach.

⚠️ AUSTRALIA TOPS DEVELOPED WORLD FOR ONLYFANS CREATORS

Australia has been ranked first for OnlyFans creators per capita in a recent analysis, with roughly 520 creators per 100,000 people, ahead of Canada, the UK and the US.
