The Prime Minister says it's disrespectful to expect the next steps toward reconciliation only days after the referendumCricket to feature in the 2028 Olympics
New analysis released today from the Australian Electoral Commission seems to vindicate the government's insistence that the Voice referendum was what First Nations communities wanted. "The Uluru statement from the heart was developed over decades, the expectation that the next step should be developed over days, is not respectful. And it’s not one that I will engage in. We will continue to show respect. We’ll take the time to do that. Our commitment to listening to Indigenous Australians is undiminished. Our commitment to closing the gap is undiminished.
"We can't go back to Gaza. Everything is really horrible. We are just watching the news day and night and we are so terrified and so nervous, so worried. We don't know what will happen in the future. Everything is mysterious. Everything is unknown. We just feel very frustrated.
He says the Egyptian government had used national security legislation to come after journalists it didn't like.
