Gambling reform is heating up as the government pushes for a deal with the opposition, introducing an opt-out register for online gambling ads after reviewing public evidence. Meanwhile, the PM and Opposition Leader are locked in a standoff over NDIS reforms, with the Coalition withholding support until tax concessions for widows and divorcees are approved. On the global stage, Defense Minister Pat Conroy defends AUKUS, calling myths “bullshit,” highlighting Pacific ties, rugby diplomacy, and UK shipbuilding growth — all while insisting Australia isn’t surrendering sovereignty. Back home, Norfolk Island’s secessionists, who held a referendum and took their case to the UN, are being ignored by Canberra, raising questions about local democracy. And Speaker Milton Dick is expanding his influence beyond the chamber — reviving parliamentary friendship groups, launching a National Youth Parliament with branded gear, and eyeing a top leadership role at the Inter-Parliamentary Union — possibly even a Nobel Peace Prize.
