The new South Wales government has become the latest state to commence “consultation” about an indigenous treaty, says Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. She says they are “opening applications for three ‘commissioners’ to engage with Aboriginal communities”. “That’s despite the state and 60 per cent of Australians voting no to an Indigenous Voice to Parliament,” Ms De Giorgio said. “Yet again these Labor governments don’t seem to want to listen.” Ms De Giorgio was joined by Centre for Independent Studies Indigenous Forum Director Warren Mundine to discuss the New South Wales government’s push for treaty.

US President Joe Biden has been roasted online after he sat "dazed and confused" as his handlers ushered out reporters. Biden hosted a trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Bongbong Marcos on Thursday. “I’ve seen that look in secure dementia units,” wrote one user.

After the meeting concluded, reporters were quickly ushered out, with Biden ignoring all questions. According to the New York Post, the mix-up with the journalists came down to an inexperienced crop of handlers in charge of the event.
Former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner has given a short but savage response to the news of former NFL running back OJ Simpson's death. The Pro Football Hall of Famer Simpson died at 76 after a battle with cancer, his family said in a post on X on Wednesday. He was best known for the sensational 'trial of the century' in 1994, where O.J. was famously acquitted of the brutal killings of his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. Reacting to the news, Caitlyn Jenner wrote "Good riddance" in a post to X. Jenner has long been critical of Simpson, given her ex-wife Kris Jenner's close friendship with Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Mr Biden during his meeting on Thursday with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said, “Any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defence treaty”. Mr Birmingham said the comments from the US President demonstrate the commitment the United States has to its presence in the region. “These are strong and decisive comments from President Biden,” he told Sky News Australia. “So, it’s a real demonstration that the US remains engaged, remains committed, it's creating the type of deterrence that hopefully can avoid conflict and create space for diplomacy to do its job.”
Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham has called for the Albanese government to clarify its stance on Palestinian statehood. Mr Birmingham claimed the government this week had created “immense confusion” over its stance on Israel and Palestine and a two-state solution. "The real questions for Penny Wong and Anthony Albanese to answer are whether they are proposing to shift Australia's policy from a negotiated two-state solution to a unilateral recognition for the state of Palestine,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. "And if they are doing so, whether that means they would undertake that unilateral recognition ahead of a negotiated settlement. "We've got a decades-long position in Australia of supporting a negotiated two-state solution, that is based on our strong recognition that the democratic state of Israel, a friend to Australia, has a right to exist.”
Young Labor Left NSW has become the latest group to criticise the government’s proposed changes to the Migration Amendment Bill. The Young Labor Left group argued the emergency legislation is "flawed" and in breach of the ALP National Platform. It comes after Labor for Refugees NSW/ACT raised serious human rights concerns on the bill on Thursday. The submission to a Senate inquiry into the legislation, authored by Young Labor Left NSW, said: “The youth party refuse to co-sign on the government’s attempt to ram through sweeping powers to punish potentially hundreds of refugees and non-citizens”. The Senate committee on Monday will hold its first hearing on the migration bill.
Sky News US analyst Michael Ware says he does not think it is a foregone conclusion that Iran will strike Israel at some point, as threats of retaliatory attacks from Iran grow. This follows the deaths of two senior Iranian officials in a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy in Syria. “A strike on Israel itself is very, very different to a strike on Israeli interests or Israeli assets,” Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. “Tehran knows that a rocket or other strike within Israel will be so provocative that it will blow up the entire region. “Yet, Tehran is allegedly reassuring countries in the region and the United States that ‘while we’re going to hit back, we’re not looking for a major escalation’.”
