For people who don't want to give the SMH clicks.

BBN died at Royal Darwin hospital of advanced throat cancer following a period of palliative care. He was serving a 14-year sentence at the Darwin correctional centre. His family were able to visit him in hospital, but complained at the inquest that they had not been permitted to stay overnight, and that he had not been released to die in his home community.

In a somehow greater surprise, so stunning M. Night Shyamalan was reduced to tears by the perfect beauty he can never match, the coalition will likely not increase jobseeker permanently.

Well the panic buying was real. Nice and orderly but the lines went out the store and down the road. The covid case went a lot of places though, so hopefully he doesn't have the UK strain and didn't infect a bunch more people. 1 more week school holidays though, so that's... nice.

Mark McGowan is asked to respond to Peter Dutton�s criticism of the WA lockdown:

quote:

"I had not thought about Peter Dutton in this context. I know the prime minister and the federal health minister agree with what we have done, and they said that publicly. So the prime minister is on the same page with us and I appreciate his support.

In relation to Mr Dutton, I want to make this point: he is the minister for home affairs. They have the responsibility for quarantine under the constitution. But he does not want to do that.

So, therefore, it has fallen to the states to perform the role that Mr Dutton should be performing under the constitution. So he should not be criticising when we are doing the task he should be performing.

Under the constitution, section 15 quarantine, it is the responsibility of the commonwealth. Defence bases, Christmas Island, sometimes very remote places, and they are not doing it and refused to do it, so therefore the state is doing it. So I urge Mr Dutton not to be a critic."
