Here are some of this morning’s biggest developments:: Aged Care Minister Anika Wells has rejected claims the Albanese government will seek to impose a levy on taxpayers in an effort to fund the growing aged care sector.: Shadow attorney-general Michaelia Cash is urging the prime minister to explain to the public what his ministers knew about Brittany Higgins’ rape allegation in 2021.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged on Saturday that his military was engaged in “counteroffensive and defensive operations” a day after Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin said Kyiv’s long-vaunted drive to retake territory was well under way. He said Putin’s comments on the counteroffensive were “interesting ... it is important that Russia always feels this: that they do not have long left, in my opinion”.
Wells said the taskforce would consider how the government could lift the standard of aged care in the country. “But more than that, what we have now seen over the past week or so, [is] this is what happens when you weaponise a rape allegation,” she told Sky News. Cash did not say whether she believed Gallagher had misled parliament on June 4, 2021, when she denied she had forewarning of Higgins’ decision to make public her rape allegation.
