    Federal police urged to investigate 'concerning' subsea cable fault

    Two separate cables in the Submarine Cable Protection Zone off Perth had both experienced faults in short succession over the weekend.

    The cables are vital for international communications between Australia and the rest of the world.

    The cables' owner, Subco, is urging the Australian Federal Police to investigate.

    Two subsea cables off the coast of Perth, vital for international communications, suffered a fault over the weekend, and the company that owns them urgently wants to know what happened.

    The chief executive of the cable company Subco, Bevan Slattery, wrote on LinkedIn yesterday that two separate cables in the Submarine Cable Protection Zone off Perth had both experienced faults "straight after each other and in close proximity to each other".

    AFP assessing report in connection with Perth cable faults

    The Australian Federal Police is assessing a report of a potential crime after the owner of two undersea cables laid in protection zones near Perth revealed faults commonly attributed to ship activity.

    Bevan Slattery, co-chief and founder of SUBCO, which owns the two Indigo cable systems, confirmed to iTnews that the company reported the incidents to the AFP which, he said, occurred near each other and at a similar time.

    Slattery first raised the alarm about the incidents in a post on LinkedIn on the weekend, shortly after SUBCO detected “shunt faults” on its Indigo West and Indigo Central cable systems, which together connect Singapore and Sydney with a landing at Perth in-between.

    Federal politics live: Pauline Hanson says daughter Lee is the 'future', has 'potential' to run One Nation

    The One Nation leader sits down for a podcast conversation with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Follow live. 

    Health Minister Mark Butler has defended the prime minister's decision to break a promise and not to attend the Garma Festival this weekend.

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised last year to attend every Garma Festival as prime minister.

    But speaking to Channel Seven, Butler says he's gone to the festival more than any other leader of a political party.

    "He's been there every year since he became leader. He's off to the Northern Territory again in coming days to visit another festival," he says.

    ‘She’s the future’: Hanson reveals daughter could lead One Nation

    London: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has named her daughter as a potential leader of the party during a controversial podcast with right-wing activist Tommy Robinson over the threat to Australia and Britain from mass migration.

    Hanson praised her daughter, Lee, but said she would have to prove herself because there would be no nepotism in decisions on the future of the party.

    The remarks, recorded last week, have been released online at a highly sensitive time for One Nation and its leadership because of tensions over Hanson’s working holiday in Europe and her decision to speak to Robinson, a divisive figure who has been convicted of assault.

    Welcome to our rolling live coverage of all the latest news and developments around Australia and the world this Friday, July 17.

    A handful of oil tankers have been seen conducting ship-to-ship transfers off the coast of Oman, a sign that ships are continuing to sail through the Strait of Hormuz before offloading their cargoes onto other vessels after recent Iranian attacks on shipping.

    At least four tankers were transferring cargoes near the ports of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar in Oman, satellite images from the European Union’s Copernicus browser showed.

    Those areas have been the main spots where ships shuttling in and out of Hormuz have transferred their cargoes onto vessels that would ultimately sail on to their eventual destination.

    Federal politics live: Andrew Hastie rules out leaving Liberals, says he's 'here to stay'

    Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie has ruled out leaving the Liberals, saying he will contest the next federal election.

    One Nation MP David Farley has asked about a new system for veterans accessing allied health.

    "The Minster quoted on Tuesday one in ten veterans may go over the five thousand dollar cap for allied health services," he says.

    "If the minister knows that… why not do the right thing now and carve them out of the $5000 cap immediately?" he asks.

    Veterans' Affairs Minister Matt Keogh says the current system isn't working and says a carve out would not work.

    "The purpose of the cap is to replace the current existing treatment cycle system where veterans are going back time and time again after every 12 referrals to a GP in order to access allied health services," he says.

    Federal politics live: PM confirms Treasury will release discussion paper for 'further input' on CGT changes

    Anthony Albanese says Treasury will release a discussion paper for "further input" on the government's capital gains tax changes.

    Earlier, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher revealed that an extension to the fuel excise cut was under "active consideration".

    Jim Chalmers is asked if he thinks One Nation will gain even more supporters should the governent not be able to get inflation under control.

    The treasurer people are obviously under pressure and they'll express that in a range of ways, "including in opinion polls".

    "We understand that the pace of change is accelerating in our economy and in our society. We understand that the global uncertainty is intensifying and people have got legitimate concerns about where they fit in that story of churn and change and governments have got a choice whether to dismiss those legitimate concerns, whether to deny those legitimate concerns or try and act to address them," he says.

    NAB boss says budget changes already hurting economy

    NAB chief executive Andrew Irvine has urged the government to rethink its proposed changes to capital gains and trust tax settings for businesses, warning that Australia is in a global battle to attract risk capital and preserve its reputation as one of the best places in the world to live and work.

    Federal politics: Coalition 'indistinguishable' from One Nation, PM says — as it happened

    Anthony Albanese says the Coalition is at risk of becoming "indistinguishable" from One Nation after the opposition leader did not rule out a preference deal.

    Liberal frontbencher Angie Bell says it's "premature" to be talking about a preference deal with One Nation.

    The party's federal director, Tony Abbott, endorsed swapping preferences with One Nation while Opposition Leader Angus Taylor left the door open to working with the minor party.

    The new Liberal president, Tony Abbott, has backed preference deals with One Nation as he declared the party wouldn’t win the next election by being “slaves to focus groups” and just a “little less woke than Labor”.

    The opposition leader, Angus Taylor, all but confirmed he was open to such deals with Pauline Hanson, declaring the party was prepared to cooperate with “whoever we can to get rid of this rotten Labor government”.

    Federal lawsuit aims to stop UFC event on the White House South Lawn

    A lawsuit filed Saturday against the federal government asks a judge to stop an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the White House lawn scheduled this week.

    The suit, which the Public Integrity Project, a watchdog group, filed on behalf of two plaintiffs, is another incident in which private citizens or activist groups have tried to stymie projects championed by President Donald Trump.

    The event, a fight night purportedly in honor of the country’s 250th anniversary, is scheduled for June 14, Trump’s birthday.

    The lawsuit says UFC CEO Dana White, a longtime Trump ally who was a campaign surrogate for him, has denied that the event’s timing is a birthday celebration for Trump. But, the suit says, White acknowledged that the fight was Trump’s idea.

    Lawsuit seeks to halt ‘corrupt’ UFC event at the White House on Trump’s birthday

    The plaintiffs said they brought the case to “uphold the rule of law” and “protect our nation’s most cherished monuments from corrupt exploitation.”

    A new lawsuit seeks to halt the “UFC Freedom 250” event that is scheduled for this coming weekend, calling it “deeply corrupt” and arguing that it runs afoul of federal regulations.

    The plaintiffs are activist Susan Douglas and Vietnam War veteran Paul Romano. Represented by lawyers with the Public Integrity Project, they said in their complaint that they brought the case “to seek judicial relief for their injuries, uphold the rule of law, and protect our nation’s most cherished monuments from corrupt exploitation.”

    Lawsuit aims to stop UFC fight at the White House

    Two Virginia residents have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the UFC fight President Donald Trump is holding at the White House as part of celebrations for the nation’s 250th birthday.

    The lawsuit, filed Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of a Vietnam War veteran and a civic activist, argues the structure erected on the White House grounds is not authorized without congressional approval or environmental review.

    It also argues the use of the White House grounds “to stage a private, for-profit sports event, with all the promotional and branding opportunities that accompany such access” will financially benefit UFC President Dana White and Trump himself, citing a report in the spring that Trump bought $50,000 in stock in UFC’s parent company.

    Chalmers talks reform while Canberra spends like there’s no tomorrow

    Another rate rise has Australians on edge and in even more financial pain as they cope with rapidly rising prices. Will the budget help or harm the inflation fight?

    Jim Chalmers is heartily sick of economists telling him he doesn’t think big enough on reform.

    So he will insist next week’s “ambitious” budget will add up to much more than another round of tinkering on tax and inflationary spending on disgruntled households.

    Judge: Trump can’t claim that entire White House ballroom project is needed for national security

    A federal judge has again ordered President Donald Trump to pause construction of a massive new ballroom at the White House, rejecting the president’s “disingenuous” bid to circumvent an earlier ruling against the project by claiming that it needed to proceed for national security reasons.

    The ruling Thursday from senior US District Judge Richard Leon is the latest episode in a winding legal saga around the controversial ballroom, which the judge said last month was being built unlawfully since Congress hadn’t expressly approved it.

    Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, carved out an exception so that crews could continue working on a highly sophisticated bunker being installed under the proposed ballroom. But Trump had contended that the entire project was covered by that loophole since the aboveground structure “advances critical national-security objectives as an integrated whole.”

    Trump’s Go-To Justification for Contentious Decisions: National Security

    The administration has invoked national security in a variety of matters, including the White House ballroom and offshore wind farms, drawing rebukes from some judges.

    President Trump offered a surprising justification last month for forging ahead with construction of his White House ballroom: Halting the $400 million project would pose a grave threat to national security.

    “Everything is drone-proof and bulletproof,” Mr. Trump said, listing the security features of a bunker being built beneath the ballroom to protect the president in the event of an emergency.

    It was hardly the first time the administration had invoked national security to justify a contentious decision. Over the past year, top officials have cited similar concerns when stripping union rights from thousands of federal workers, pausing the construction of wind farms off the East Coast, and exempting oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from protections for endangered species of whales.

    Federal politics live: Albanese and Wong to visit Brunei and Malaysia to shore up fuel supply

    Australia has not received a request to participate in US President Donald Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Anthony Albanese says. 

    Anthony Albanese also joined ABC's News Breakfast this morning, reiterating the US hasn't asked Australia to assist in its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

    The prime minister says Australia has already extended the timeframe that an Australian military surveillance aircraft, the E-7A Wedgetail, will spend in the Middle East. The government deployed the plane following a request from the United Arab Emirates.

    Albanese was asked if he thought US President Donald Trump's blockade would achieve anything.

    Australian petrol stations report 25% surge in demand as governments plan for ‘biggest energy crisis in history’

    Petrol stations are reporting a surge in demand of up to 25% in the past fortnight alone on top of already major spikes earlier in the Iran war as Anthony Albanese comes under pressure to devise a national plan to cushion Australia against the “biggest energy crisis in history”.

    The Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association has revealed the scale of the demand on retailers, which has left hundreds of stations across the country without one or more types of fuel.

    Albanese’s next step must address the fuel crisis and assure the public

    Add articles to your saved list and come back to them anytime.

    Rule No.1 in politics is that leaders should always project capability and certainty, even in the most uncertain times. When COVID-19 reached our shores, public anxiety about lockdowns and supply chains resulted in consumers stockpiling toilet paper, pasta, meat, baby formula and paracetamol.

    The pandemic was a global event, its causes and effects ranging far beyond the capabilities of any single nation’s leadership to control. At that point, the power of federal and state governments to reassure became particularly important.

    The decision of the United States and Israel to wage war on Iran, and Iran’s decision to restrict tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, have already hit our economy hard, despite Australia having had no input into either one (though perhaps Prime Minister Anthony Albanese might have hoped for some sort of warning from our closest security ally of its intentions).
