Prince Harry’s admissions of drug-taking in his memoir have people “talking” and wondering whether he’ll be pulled up on it by US authorities, says The Daily Mirror’s Associate Editor Russell Myers.
There are calls for the Prince to reveal how he answered a question on his visa application about drug-taking.
“It could be a position that he might need to consider,” Mr Myers told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. “I think this is something we’ll have to sort of watch and wait and see if the US authorities do get involved.”

‘Ethically right’ for governments to give firefighters the ‘maximum level of protection’Western Australia Firefighter David Broadbent who has suffered from Thyroid cancer since 2008 says it is “morally and ethically the right thing” for governments to give firefighters the “maximum level of protection” as cancer is not covered for them. “I’m very grateful I’m still able to serve as a firefighter now – I came very close to resigning from the job, it was a very difficult time, just for myself and my young family, thankfully I did at the time have a very supportive manager,” he told Sky News Australia. “Worrying about things like how much sick leave you have left, worrying about how you are going to pay for treatment, all those sorts of things are burdens that sit on your shoulders when you don’t have that worker's compensation protection.”

James Webb telescope ‘confirms’ TRAPPIST-1 exoplanet has ‘no atmosphere’The James Webb Space Telescope has found an Earth-sized planet but with no atmosphere. ANU astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker says this is part of the 'TRAPPIST-1 system,' which was discovered quite a few years ago and contained seven rocky planets. 'And we thought a number of these could have been habitable, being like Earth, hosting atmospheres,' Dr Tucker told Sky News Australia. 'The closest one that the James Webb ... was just looking at ... we never really thought it would be the greatest place to live, given how close it was, kind of like the Mercury of our solar system. 'But this latest observation has confirmed that, indeed, it has no atmosphere or at least such a small atmosphere that we can never detect it.'

He said the feeling is Peter Dutton is still the “most credible option” as Opposition leader. “Labor made it a referendum about Peter Dutton – we saw that in their campaign material, and the voters spoke, and they spoke against Peter Dutton,” Mr Clennell said. “The Libs are in real trouble.”

Governments ‘hideously unprepared’ for safeguard mechanism ‘mode shift’Pacific National CEO Paul Scurrah says rail has been the “most environmentally friendly” and safe way to haul goods but the safeguard mechanism will hit the railway freight systems. “For many years now, everybody knows that rail has been the most environmentally friendly and safe way to haul goods, particularly between capital cities, and is even more important now with the climate action required,” Mr Scurrah told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “What we see though is governments have been hideously unprepared for this mode shift … driven by the unlevel playing field between rail and the trucking industry and what this now means is that there’s a further impost on rail operators to … reduce our carbon emissions … the safeguard mechanism as it currently stands actually doesn’t help.”
