“Sky” news tập 2:
Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie failed to disclose flight upgrades

Two of those were in July and August this year, just months before she claimed to have never been offered an upgrade on a Qantas flight. A further five upgrades were on personal flights between Australia and New Zealand, including four in 2018 while she was a cabinet minister.
The independent senator David Pocock said it highlighted the need for reforming parliamentary transparency rules.
“Senator McKenzie’s failure to declare multiple upgrades would appear to constitute serious contempt under parliamentary rules,” Pocock said. “But we lack adequate accountability mechanisms to deal with such lapses in integrity.”
McKenzie, the opposition transport spokesperson, apologised on Wednesday for failing to declare 16 flight upgrades received over the last nine years, belatedly updating her official register of interests to disclose instances of business class travel.
Sorry seems to be the easiest word.

Romance scam allegedly lured Australian men on dating apps
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...o-alleged-scam
An alleged scam call centre in the Philippines has been busted for targeting Australian men over the age of 35 on dating apps and social media, the the Australian federal police say, resulting in the arrest of more than 250 people.
The alleged scammers would work in shifts from a compound to align with Australian times zones, building trust with the men before asking them to invest their money in a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform, police alleged.
Philippine law enforcement seized more than 300 computer towers, more than 1,000 mobile phones and thousands of sim cards after they executed a search warrant over suspected immigration violations.
Police later arrested more than 190 foreign nationals and 68 Filipino nationals for alleged immigration offences.

Australia backs UN resolution demanding end to Israel occupation of Palestine
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...tion-palestine
Australia has split with the US and voted with 156 other countries at the UN to demand the end of Israel’s “unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible”.
A total of 157 UN member countries, including Australia, the UK and Canada, voted to support the resolution. Eight, including Argentina, Israel and the US, voted against it. Seven others abstained.
James Larsen, Australia’s ambassador to the UN, said Australia would support the resolution, titled the “Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine”, for the first time since 2001 to reflect a desire for international “momentum” towards achieving a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
