Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has come out against antisemitism after discriminatory graffiti was found at Mount Scopus College, a Jewish school in Melbourne’s East, on Saturday.

#Melbourne #MountScopus

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

Australia is a pluralist country, welcoming different races, religions and views.

What unites us is respect for each other and our right to live in peace.

There is no place here for antisemitism.

King Island is in the midst of its worst drought on record, after receiving just a fifth of its average rainfall during the period of August last year to April this year. It’s bad news for farmers who are struggling to find ways to feed stock this winter.

Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has just announced a $925 million package for Australians fleeing violent relationships.

@RMITUJourno It’s bad news because annual inflation remains above the RBA’s target of 2-3 %, which means it is unlikely that borrowers will be granted any relief from higher interest rates while inflation remains outside this range.

[Alexandra Mulcaster @AMulcasterRMIT]

The annual inflation rate is now 3.6 % after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released data showing that prices increased by 1 % during the March quarter, 0.2 % higher than predicted.

This is bad news for borrowers hoping for rate cuts later in the year.

@RMITUJourno @miaaabp The longest suspension we have seen this season has been a seven week ban, which I would consider a considerable suspension. Compare Finlayson’s three week ban with this and I don’t think you can call it massive.

@RMITUJourno Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he wants to make sure Australia has a more resilient economy this morning after announcing a $1 Billion boost for the Hunter solar factory.
