Journalist, author and federal press secretary David Barnett has died in Canberra at the age of 90.
Barnett was press secretary to Malcolm Fraser in opposition and in government at the height of the 1975 crisis and its aftermath, when Fraser led the Liberal Party in challenging then-prime minister Gough Whitlam and blocking supply in the Senate.

He served as press secretary for seven years after Fraser won the 1975 election before returning to journalism in the press gallery of Parliament House in Canberra.
“He was a tremendous worker,” he said of Fraser in an ABC interview in 2015. “He didn’t spare us much either. His hair turned gray in the job and so did mine really.
After leaving government, Barnett went on to write a biography of John Howard soon after Howard led the Liberals to victory at the 1996 federal election. Barnett wrote the book, John Howard: Prime Ministerwith his wife, Pru Goward, a fellow journalist who became the federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner, a Liberal member in the NSW Parliament and a minister in the state government.

In a statement released on Sunday morning, Howard said Barnett was an invaluable adviser to Fraser and his death marked the departure of a highly significant figure in the national media.
“I counted him as a good friend,” Howard said.
Barnett’s colleagues noted he was still writing for his local paper, the Yass-Tribune, in regional NSW, when he was in his 80s. He had started in journalism as a copy boy on The Sun in Sydney in 1949.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – The US Senate on Saturday began debating a Democratic bill to address key elements of President Joe Biden’s agenda – tackling climate change, lowering the costs of medication for the elderly and energy, while forcing corporations and the wealthy to pay more taxes.
The debate began after the Senate voted 51-50 to move ahead with the legislation. Vice President Kamala Harris broke a tie vote, with all 50 Republicans in opposition.
The Senate was set to debate the bill for up to 20 hours before diving into an arduous, time-consuming amendment process called a “vote-a-rama.”

Democrats and Republicans were poised to reject each other’s amendments, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer maneuvered to keep a his 50-member caucus united behind a bill that was negotiated over several months. If even one Democrat were to peel off, the entire effort would be doomed in the evenly split 50-50 Senate. read more
Earlier in the day, the Senate parliamentarian determined that the lion’s share of the healthcare provisions in the $430 billion bill could be passed with only a simple majority, bypassing a filibuster rule requiring 60 votes in the 100-seat chamber to advance most legislation and enabling Democrats to pass it over Republican objections.
Democrats hope that the legislation will give a boost to their candidates in the Nov. 8 midterm elections in which Biden’s party is in an uphill battle to retain its narrow control of the Senate and House of Representatives. The Democrats cast the legislation as a vehicle to combat inflation, a prime concern of US voters this year.
“The bill, when passed, will meet all of our goals: fighting climate change, lowering healthcare costs, closing tax loopholes abused by the wealthy and reducing the deficit,” Schumer said in a Senate speech.
There are three main parts to the bill’s tax provisions: a 15% minimum tax on corporations and the closing of loopholes that the wealthy can use to avoid paying taxes; tougher IRS enforcement; and a new excise tax on stock buybacks.
The legislation has $430 billion in new spending along with raising more than $740 billion in new revenues. read more
Democrats have said the legislation by 2030 would result in a 40% reduction in US carbon emissions, blamed for climate change.
‘PRICE-FIXING’
The measure would also allow the Medicare government health insurance program for the elderly to begin negotiating in 2026 with the pharmaceutical industry over prices on a limited number of prescription drug prices as a way of reducing costs. It also would place a $2,000-per-year cap on out-of-pocket medication costs under a Medicare drug program.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell attacked the provision involving negotiating drug prices, comparing it to past “price-fixing” attempts by countries such as Cuba, Venezuela and the former Soviet Union.
“Their policy would bring about a world where many fewer new drugs and treatments get invented in the first place as companies cut back on R&D,” McConnell said in a floor speech, referring to research and development.
While senators debated the policies embedded in the bill, its political ramifications were also on display.
In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, former President Donald Trump predicted fallout for Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, two key Democratic senators: “If this deal passes, they are both going to lose their next elections.”
But Manchin and Sinema are not up for re-election until 2024 and many of the provisions of the bill are popular with voters.
The legislation is a scaled-down version of a far broader, more expensive measure that many Democrats on the party’s left had hoped to approve last year. That measure stalled when Manchin, a centrist, balked, complaining that it would exacerbate inflationary pressures.
The bill calls for billions of dollars to encourage the production of more electric vehicles and foster clean energy, though automakers say sourcing rules will sharply limit how many electric vehicles qualify for tax credits.
It would also set $4 billion in new federal drought relief funds, a provision that could help the re-election campaigns of Democratic Senators Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada and Mark Kelly in Arizona.
One provision cut from the bill would have forced drug companies to refund money to both government and private health plans if drug prices rise more quickly than inflation.
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, a leading progressive, has criticized the bill for failing to go far enough and said he planned to offer amendments that would revive a series of social programs he pushed last year, including broadening the number of prescription drugs Medicare could negotiate prices on and providing government-subsidized dental, vision and hearing aid.
His amendments were expected to fail.
Republicans have signaled that they will offer amendments touching on other issues, including controlling immigrants coming across the US border with Mexico and enhancing policing to curtail rising crime rates in American cities since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After last weekend’s chaotic golden point loss, South Sydney sorely needed a comfortable win – and got exactly what it was looking for.
Such was its dominance against a disinterested Warriors team, superstar Latrell Mitchell was taken off at the hour mark with the Bunnies 38 points in front.
“It’s a big step in the right direction,” Mitchell told Fox League after the 48-10 win.

“Last week didn’t work out how we wanted, but we played the way we wanted… all the boys kicked another gear, which we wanted.”
While speaking, he put an arm around halfback Lachlan Ilias and praised him for his performance – another, like Mitchell, who needed a bounce-back game after last week.

Ilias got the opening try of the day while Mitchell collected two of his own, the first particularly impressive as he skittled several Warriors players on his way to the line.
Then there was the basketball pass to Alex Johnston, and the no-look cut-out ball to debutant Izaac Thompson, who crossed for a four-pointer in his first NRL game.

But it’s telling how much they rely on their fullback, the Rabbitohs not scoring a point in the final 20 minutes of the game after he was subbed off.
The only real point of interest in the dying stages came as a pitch invader delayed the final siren, as an excited Souths bench cheered him on, led by Mitchell.
Origin stars combine for incredible try
The decision to move games away from home can always end poorly – but not so here for Souths, who moved operations up to the Sunshine Coast five days in advance to prepare for this game.
“I’m really enjoying the training and the boys’ time,” Mitchell said.
“We came up here on Tuesday to connect a bit more and I think it showed tonight.”
But with the Warriors in the rear-view mirror now, they’ll stay in Sydney for the final four matches of the season – a murderer’s row of Parramatta, Penrith, North Queensland and arch-rivals Sydney awaiting them.
But if Mitchell can play like this – as he did in previous wins over the likes of the Eels, Storm and Bulldogs – it’s hard for other teams to match Souths’ attacking output, and hard to see many teams stopping the Rabbitohs on the charge in Sept.

The backstories and controversies that have ignited feuds involving athletes
Can you imagine wearing the same suit your dad wore for his 21st birthday to your formal school?
Key points:
Students at a regional Victorian schools have put on a Recycled Dance after missing their year 10 formal due to COVID-19
The students invented a thrifty theme to tackle fast fashion
Young people are making the most of being together after two years of remote learning
In regional Victoria, some students have borrowed, swapped and op-shopped to make a statement about fast fashion and climate change.
After missing out on many school-age rites of passage through the pandemic, one school put on a dance with a difference.
Year 11 Emmanuel College students trawled through op shops, their parents’ and grandparents’ wardrobes, and swapped outfits for their first-ever Recycled Dance.
The thrifty theme invented by the students was also about tackling fast fashion, a growing threat to the environment.

One of the students behind the project, Paige Armistead, wore a green dress sourced from her mum’s wardrobe.
“After missing out on many events such as the year 10 formal due to COVID it was great to get back together as a year level and have some fun,” she said.
“We wanted to do a formal in a way that’s going to sustain our environment.
“From there we came up with the recycled theme. A lot of people buy stuff online, wear it once and don’t wear it again. We wanted to reduce waste and keep it sustainable.”

With the increasing costs of living impacting on families’ bottom lines, students also wanted to make the event more affordable.
“We had kids come in their parents’ suits and their mums’ dresses, it was really cool,” Paige said.
Young people have missed out on many coming-of-age events in the past two years of the pandemic, such as school formals, sporting carnivals, debutante balls and musicals.

But these students aren’t dwelling on what they’ve lost and are making the most of the time together they’ve yearned for.
“It was so good coming together after everything we’ve gone through, we’ve been so separated,” Paige said.
She said they hoped to continue the theme at their formal year 12.
Michigan state investigators said test samples taken Thursday from Hubbell Pond in Milford showed low-level presence of a toxic chemical that was released into the Huron River System by the Tribar Manufacturing company in Wixom last weekend.
Two crews from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy sampled waters upstream, downstream and within the pond on Friday to gather more information on the presence of hexavalent chromium, a known cancer-causing chemical.
According to Michigan authorities, hexavalent chromium is known carcinogen that can cause a number of adverse health effects through ingestion, skin contact or inhalation.
State officials are still investigating why the release occurred, the exact volume and product that was released and the timeline of events.
The Hubbell Pond samples were the only ones where hexavalent chromium was detected, out of the more than 30 samples that were taken from varying depths from near the point of release downstream to Barton Pond in Ann Arbor.
“Liquid containing 5% hexavalent chromium was discharged to the sanitary sewer system from Tribar Manufacturing in Wixom last weekend and routed to the Wixom wastewater treatment facility,” Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said in a statement.
Michigan authorities advised people and pets to avoid contact with the Huron River water between North Wixom Road in Oakland County and Kensington Road in Livingston County. This includes Norton Creek downstream of the Wixom Wastewater Treatment Plant (Oakland County), Hubbell Pond (also known as Mill Pond in Oakland County) and Kent Lake (Oakland and Livingston counties).
Residents are also warned not to water their plants with river water or eat fish caught in that section of the river.
Authorities also warned this recommendation could be expanded to other areas of the river as it receives additional test results.
Properly constructed and permitted drinking water wells not influenced by surface water are unlikely to be contaminated by chromium from the river, they said.
Dragons skipper Ben Hunt hoped he had not played with Sims for the last time and said after the game: “I’ve played a lot of footy with Tariq, I really respect Tariq, he’s a good mate, and if that was his final game for the Dragons it would be really disappointing.”
Dragons coach Anthony Griffin conceded there was “always a chance” Sims could have been sent straight from the field, while Cronulla counterpart Craig Fitzgibbon noted Tracey did drop late before he was hit.
Like Manly, the Dragons will finish the weekend four points adrift of the top eight. They face Canberra away, the Titans, Tigers and Broncos in the final rounds.
Zac Lomax converted a penalty goal with three minutes on the clock to reduce the margin to six. They were gifted one last attacking set when the Sharks were ruled to have knocked on, a call that could have gone either way, but it wasn’t to be.
Sharks pin-up Nicho Hynes went over in the third minute, but Jack de Belin hit back for the visitors when Ronaldo Mulitalo failed to catch a Ben Hunt kick.
Both sides lost their way when Tracey was taken from the field and Sims was given a breather, but Cronulla soon got into a groove and pulled ahead through Braydon Trindall, who was only given the nod when Matt Moylan pulled up with a sore quad muscle after Friday’s captain’s run.

Cronulla are certainties to nail a top-four spot. It is a big achievement for first-year coach Fitzgibbon. His roster of him is in pretty good shape and there are no shortage of players at feeder club Newtown knocking at the door for an NRL call-up.
Kade Dykes, a third-generation Cronulla player whose father Adam and grandfather John both wore the Sharks colours, almost had a try on debut when he supported Mulitalo after a break through the middle, but the final pass went behind him.
Inspirational forward Dale Finucane will return from a two-match ban for next weekend’s clash against the Tigers in Tamworth.
A large steel container of unknown origin has been found floating in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Key points:

Container has been marked and flagged with maritime authorities
Marine debris is an ever-present issue on the Arnhem Land coast
The crew of the Wildcard fishing vessel spotted the object to the north-east of Groote Eylandt while looking for mackerel this week.
“It’s about 5 meters by 3 meters by 4 meters — it’s a sizeable chunk of steel,” the Wildcard’s Tiger Davey said.
“It must be a bit empty because it is floating just below the surface, bobbing in and out of the water.
The crew of the Wildcard investigated the floating container but could not open it.(Supplied: Bruce Davey)
“We were only passing about 300 meters off [the container] when we spotted it.
“If you weren’t paying attention or it was night time, it is highly unlikely that it would have been visible on radar or seen by somebody.”
The Wildcard pulled up beside the container, with a crew member diving into the water to inspect the object, but they were unable to open its hatch.
Mr Davey said it was not a regular shipping container.
“We think it’s a fuel pod or some sort of storage pod because it has some lifting lugs and a big hatch on the top,” he said.
“It has a hose coming off it, so I would say it’s off a boat and it’s been lost overboard or dropped.”
The container was too big for the Wildcard to tow to a safe location, so the crew tied a marker buoy to it and flagged it as a navigational hazard with maritime authorities.

Marine debris a major issue in Gulf
The Gulf of Carpentaria has a significant marine debris problem, with ghost nets, fishing equipment, and rubbish from Indonesia and Papua New Guinea regularly washing up on remote beaches.
“With the major shipping routes we have over the top end of Australia, [the container] could have come from anywhere,” Mr Davey said.
“The currents push everything into the Gulf and then the south-easterly winds push everything over to this side [near Groote Eylandt].
“Hence the huge issue with ghost nets and rubbish on this western side of the Gulf… we have quite a bit of flotsam and nets through this area.”
Maritime Safety NT has issued a marine navigation warning about the container.
“A coastal notice to mariners has been issued for the waters off North East Groote Eylandt after a large floating container was spotted in the area,” the Maritime Safety NT notice said.
“All vessels in the vicinity to keep a sharp lookout and navigate with extreme caution.”

NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo has confirmed an investigation will be launched into Ricky Stuart’s stunning spray aimed at Panthers young gun Jaeman Salmon — as details of the history between the pair has been revealed.
Speaking on the Big Sports Breakfast, Abdo said the NRL Integrity Unit would be looking into the matter, and The Daily Telegraph’s Buzz Rothfield also explained ARLC chairman Peter V’landys is “aware of the full background”.
The bad-blood reportedly stems from Salmon’s time in the Cronulla Sharks junior system 12-years-ago and an incident with Stuart’s son, who played in the same team, according to the SMH.

Stuart’s son was reportedly reduced to tears following an incident with Salmon in 2010.
Stuart then made comments which saw Salmon’s father get involved.
The dads then had a heated exchange and had to be separated.
“Not pleasant, I spoke to Ricky late last night and I have spoken to him again this morning,” Rothfield said on the Big Sports Breakfast.
“He knows that this happened a long long time ago, involving junior football and his son and I think that is common knowledge.
“But Ricky last night chose the wrong platform to speak out about it, and his choice of words were probably inappropriate.”

Rothfield also called for all parties to sit down and mediate the situation which has “lingered on for a long time”.
“I think they (NRL) will have to (investigate), I think there has been quite a significant public outrage over Ricky’s choice of words and again the platform of a press conference,” Rothfield said.
“They will certainly investigate it.
“I would like to see them do it properly and maybe get all parties involved, because it has obviously lingered on for a long time and it is not good for the game when things like that blow up like it did last night.”

Stuart labeled the Panthers playmaker a “weak gutted dog” in his post-match press conference, referencing his previous run-ins with Salmon.
The 23-year-old was placed on report for kicking out at Canberra dummy-half Tom Starling in a tackle.
“But where Salmon kicked Tommy (Starling), it ain’t on,” Stuart said.

“I have had history with that kid (Salmon). I know that kid very well.
“He was a weak gutted dog as a kid and he hasn’t changed now. He is a weak gutted dog person now.”
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary chose not to respond to Stuart’s comments, and Rothfield explained the Raiders coach’s biggest problem is his inability to control his emotions.
“I am very close to Ricky and we know how emotional he gets,” Rothfield said.

“Ricky’s biggest problem as a football coach and even when he was a player, he is one of those guys that gets so emotionally worked up.
“He has never been good at controlling those emotions, and you can say it wasn’t in the heat of battle, but after you have lost an important game you are still worked up.
“You aren’t thinking as clearly.
“I am not defending him at all, but it is a difficult one for the NRL to manage, I know Peter V’landys is aware of the full background so it is going to be an important story.”
Unlike CPAC’s Orlando event in February — and the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Nashville conference in June — the weekend gathering was missing most of the non-Trump names floated as potential 2024 contenders, though Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were among the elected officials who spoke.
And while Trump’s dominant standing in the GOP has never been under greater threat from a rising crop of ambitious Republicans, the event highlighted his continued pull with the party’s activists. A straw poll survey of CPAC Texas attendees’ 2024 preferences showed Trump leading with 69 percent support, 10 percentage points higher than his showing of him at the February gathering in Florida. DeSantis came in second place with 23 percent.
Trump’s approval rating among attendees was at 99 percent. Poll methodology, including the survey size and margin of error, were not provided.
“I’ve said the last couple CPACs, I don’t think it can go any higher,” said Jim McLaughlin, a Trump campaign pollster who conducts the CPAC straw polls.
McLaughlin argued that the response from the gathering proved Trump’s influence is not wanting.
“Matter of fact, what’s happening is he’s more popular than ever,” McLaughlin said.
Taking the stage soon after at the Hilton Anatole on Saturday evening, Trump declared that the CPAC straw poll is a “very respected” survey.
“When you see those numbers, there is a great feeling of unity,” Trump said. “Not only at CPAC, but I think the Republican Party.”
Yet while straw polls at other gatherings of conservative activists have also shown that Trump would start a 2024 primary campaign with a strong lead, recent polling of the broader GOP electorate has told a slightly different story.
A Siena College/New York Times poll conducted last month showed the former president with support from just under half of Republican primary voters in a matchup with several other candidates. Trump led with 49 percent of the vote, followed by DeSantis with 25 percent.
In a separate poll question removing Trump as an option for 2024, 59 percent of CPAC Texas attendees supported DeSantis for president, followed by 8 percent for Donald Trump Jr.
Trump on Saturday again teased a run. He falsely claimed that he had won a presidential election “twice,” before adding “now we may have to do it again.”
“But first, we have to win an earth-shattering victory in 2022,” he said of the midterm elections, in which Republicans will attempt to take back control of both chambers of Congress. Trump has doled out endorsements across the country this year, but so far he has declined to put any significant campaign money behind his chosen candidates.
Not only were other top potential 2024 rivals absent from the conference, throughout the three-day gathering, there was little talk of them. Speakers instead focused squarely on Trump, largely not mentioning DeSantis or others as top leaders in the party.
The loudest voices spreading baseless claims of election fraud in 2020 — claims that have repeatedly been disproven in audits, official investigations and litigation — shied away from discussing Pence, even to criticize him.
Steve Bannon, the former Trump campaign and White House strategist who was convicted this week of contempt of Congress, outlined at the conference a vision for the coming years of the GOP. That included more candidates like Kari Lake, who won the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Arizona this week after basing her campaign on disproven claims of election fraud. And, of course, it included Trump with a second term in office.
Bannon, who was recently found guilty on two counts of refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, riled up the crowd by suggesting outside forces were attempting to jail Trump in an effort to keep him from seeking the White House again.
“They understand they can’t beat him at the ballot box,” Bannon said. “They ca n’t beat his energy from him. They ca n’t beat his vision of him. They’re coming out with a death by a thousand cuts legally, right, and trying to put him in jail to make sure he cannot run again in 2024 and be the rightful president he should be right now.”
President Joe Biden won the 2020 election by flipping five states Trump carried in 2016 and outstripping him nationally by 7 million votes.
In a statement to POLITICO after the straw poll, American Conservative Union chair Matt Schlapp referred to Trump’s enduring prominence with conservatives.
“There’s an unbreakable bond between President Trump and the conservative movement,” Schlapp said. “He simply did the things he promised to do and for that they are forever grateful.”
On stage Saturday, British commentator and former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage told the crowd Trump looks like he is ready for another run.
Farage, who has visited with Trump recently, told the CPAC audience that the former president appears to have lost 20 pounds since leaving office.
“The weight of the world is coming off his shoulders,” Farage said. “His nominees of him are winning the primaries, and I believe Donald Trump is the man to go out there and fight on behalf of America and the Western world.”
Scott, the Florida senator whose 12-point “Plan for America” and corresponding ad campaign has been constructed as a sign he’s laying the groundwork for a presidential run, got the most resounding applause of his speech when he called for a border wall to be named after “President Donald J. Trump.”
