The Prime Minister refuses to confirm the costs of his plan to cut company tax over 10 years, despite the Parliamentary Budget Office estimating it at $16.5 billion.

Why would you do that?

quote:

A day before travelling from the UK to Greece to spread his dead husband's ashes, Marco Bulmer-Rizzi read an immigration department email sent to his deceased husband warning he was overstaying his visa in Australia.

Because South Australia does not recognise same-sex marriages from overseas, their marriage was not initially recorded on David's death certificate and Marco Bulmer–Rizzi was not recognised as next of kin.

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill later intervened to remove the description of "never married".

However Mr Bulmer-Rizzi went on to describe the incident as "a personal attack on David, on our memories" and said "it was the most humiliating moment of my life".

Yesterday Mr Bulmer-Rizzi was traumatised again when he received an automatically redirected email which Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection had sent to his husband warning him he had overstayed his visa in Australia.

The Sydney Morning Herald columnist Paul Sheehan has been given a redundancy package two months after he was suspended indefinitely over his false story of a woman, “Louise”, who claimed she had been raped and beaten by Arabic-speaking men.

Sheehan told Guardian Australia he was made redundant from the Fairfax newspaper he first worked for 30 years ago but he declined to clarify whether the arrangement was voluntary or forced.

Good.

Julie Bishop’s office has brushed aside concerns raised by Liberal National party supporters about a $300 a head fundraiser to be held in a Brisbane restaurant owned by a convicted heroin trafficker with longstanding family links to the underworld.

The foreign minister is billed as the special guest at the event next Tuesday at Mariosarti, owned by Daniel Milos, whose family history in the drug trade was widely reported when his brother Peter was murdered in 2014.

Party supporters contacted organisers this week to query about the venue for the women’s breakfast, which will raise $12,000 for four female LNP candidates running in Brisbane seats.

The organisers alerted officials at the LNP state headquarters, who spoke with Bishop’s office before deciding the event would go ahead as planned.

Guardian Australia understands the LNP was told that Milos – who was sentenced to nine years in jail in 2000 as the ringleader in his family’s $10,000 a week heroin trafficking business – no longer owned the restaurant. However, the party has been provided with documents showing he remains the owner.

The restaurant’s liquor licence is held by Milos’s company Mariosarti Pty Ltd, according to documents held by the state Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation.

Milos is registered as a director, secretary and sole shareholder of Mariosarti Pty Ltd, according to documents held by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

It is understood Mariosarti was offered as a venue for the party function at no charge.

A man had been stabbed in the chest outside the restaurant last week.

That's pretty surprising. It's also pretty disgusting when you think of the apology Turing got from the UK, that they didn't clear the records of everyone else with the conviction.

I kind of assumed this happened already. I'm gobsmacked that it hasnt.

A second Victorian police officer who was caught on camera kicking a (handcuffed, partially naked) woman in custody defends her actions before an anti-corruption inquiry, saying she was trying to "get her attention".

Leading Senior Constable Nicole Munro conceded she kicked the 51-year-old woman, who was later discovered to be a fellow police officer with the force's professional standards unit, but said it was not malicious.

"It was a case of trying to get her attention," Leading Senior Constable Munro told the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).

"[I was] trying to get her to calm down."

Convincing people to ingest viruses for their own good I imagine will be quite the task, but maybe not when people are dying from what was once commonly treatable illnesses.

I'd never eat bacteria no matter how healthy it is for me, that's just disgusting.

Hey its been ages since I've at all felt at home in Malaysia and with poo poo like this happening:

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Najib Razak's government threw its support in parliament this week behind an Islamic penal code that includes amputations and stoning, shocking some of his allies and stoking fears of further strains in the multi-ethnic country.

Critics believe the scandal-tainted prime minister is using 'hudud', the Islamic law, to shore up the backing of Muslim Malay voters and fend off attacks on his leadership ahead of critical by-elections next month and a general election in 2018.

The government on Thursday unexpectedly submitted to parliament a hudud bill that had been proposed by the Islamist group Parti Islam se-Malaysia's (PAS).
