It's fine for One Nation to disrespect Indigenous Australians. But if the Greens so much as mention the genocide in Gaza, Labor is ready to go on the attack.

'Background use only': How Labor justifies its silence on Gaza to the media

Labor's response yesterday to mass starvation in Gaza was to condemn a Greens senator for mentioning it. Then it tried to spin itself as the victim.

During his visit to Adelaide, the environment minister bats away criticism about his government's response to SA's algal bloom crisis. Is $14 million and a 10-minute beach inspection enough to show the Commonwealth cares?

Is $14m and a ten-minute beach trip enough to show the feds care about the algal bloom?
