Peter Dutton offered Lakemba Mosque pulpit for apology to Lebanese Muslim community #auspol
sbs.com.au
It's been almost 10 years since Peter Dutton made comments he now says he regrets about the Lebanese Muslim community, but there's still confusion over whether he's actually apologised for them.

Today, six months after the Herald’s reports, Peter Dutton again declined to give any detail regarding an apology he says he made regarding his comments about Lebanese Muslims. Who is the unnamed community member he says he spoke to?
smh.com.au
Calls by the opposition leader to halt arrivals from Gaza have fuelled doubts over whether he ever apologised for earlier comments about Muslim immigration.

Negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions cost the budget billions of dollars every year, which is why Labor has asked for advice on possible changes to them.

This story came out while I was on strike. Glad to be able to share it now. The number of Aboriginal people in prison on remand has soared, while the non-Aboriginal trend line is flat. What can - or should - NSW Police do?
smh.com.au
Prison numbers are going in the wrong direction for Aboriginal people. But NSW Police say they should not be held accountable for helping to bring them down.

Here is the letter from Swimming Queensland chief Kevin Hasemann to the National Gallery. Hasemann and Kyle Chalmers coordinated a group of 20 elite Australian swimmers to campaign against the portrait of Rinehart by Archibald Prize-winning Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira.
An Olympic gold medallist and one of the top officials in Australian swimming led the charge against the National Gallery hanging a portrait of mining billionaire Gina Rinehart, labelling the artwork “offensive to a great Australian”. https://t.co/ugunsf0mwN
