A lot of young people have ‘never seen’ what Labor govt looks like

Labor MP Josh Burns says a lot of young people have “never seen” what a Labor government looks like, as Labor looks set to form a majority government with a projected win in the seat of Macnamara. “We are going to deliver, and that’s what Labor governments can do,” he told Sky News Australia. “I think Australians want to see collaboration and compromise and adults working together in order to form good outcomes for the Australian people.

‘Relief’ as bitcoin roars back to life

Bitcoin, the top-ranked cryptocurrency, soared eight per cent in 24 hours after being stuck in a bear run for the better part of a month.Cryptocurrency has been in a rut for most of 2022, but it plunged to new lows for the year earlier this month, after a stable coin plummeted by 98 per cent in the space of just 24 hours – something which should have been impossible.The cryptocurrency community was left reeling when terra (UST), previously among the top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies in the world, slumped below $US1 ($A1.42) earlier this month.Skittish investors pulled out and it left the entire cryptocurrency space in distress, with bitcoin and ethereum briefly reaching levels that hadn’t been seen since June last year.At one point, bitcoin was trading as low as US$25,400 (A$35,200) per token. However, on Tuesday morning the coin rallied and was trading at US$32,157 (A$44,000), the highest it has been in more than three weeks. Experts are “cautiously” optimistic that BTC can push b...

US to urge tougher sanctions after North Korea fires likely ICBM

The launch came just hours after US President Joe Biden left Asia following a trip overshadowed by Pyongyang's sabre-rattling.His warning adds to the drumbeat of predictions from US and South Korean officials, who have been saying for weeks that Kim's regime is close to conducting its seventh nuclear test.Washington plans to call for a UN Security Council vote on tougher sanctions on Pyongyang after the tests, a senior US official said. "That was a provision of that resolution. That's precisely what happened and so we feel it's now time to take action," the official said on condition of anonymity.The three early-morning ballistic missile launches came within an hour of each other, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.This could have been North Korea's largest ICBM, the Hwasong-17, Kim Tae-hyo said later.- Response to Biden -The latest apparent test come just days after Biden left South Korea Sunday.During Biden's visit, Seoul and...

Coalition has ‘long way to go’ before it can win back lost seats

Independent Member for Wentworth Allegra Spender has agreed with outgoing Wentworth MP Dave Sharma's assessment that the Liberal Party will never form government if it shifts to the right. It comes as Mr Sharma has blamed his election loss on voters' "dislike" of Scott Morrison and warned the Liberal Party should "move back to the centre" if it wants to return to power. "I think it's probably right," Ms Spender told Sky News Australia. Ms Spender pointed to the fact there are several members on the crossbench who are in "typical Liberal seats" which won't be won back by the Coalition unless it moves towards the centre. "Those communities are saying we want strong action on some issues which the government failed to take action on," she said. "If the Coalition continues to shift to the right the chances of getting those seats back are very very low – then what is the Liberals' path or the Coalition's path to ...

‘Ridiculous’: Fury over new Coke bottles

The British arm of the global beverage company announced it has started rolling out new versions of its iconic plastic bottles in an attempt to keep the lids out of landfill.While caps are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) – both of which are in high demand for recycling – many consumers still remove the lid when recycling.The new “attached cap” design is supposed to make it easier to recycle the whole package at once while also preventing the common recycling mistake.Plastic bottles of Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Dr Pepper will all feature the new lids by early 2024, the company said. However the transition currently only applies to UK bottles, according to CNN Business. “This is a small change that we hope will have a big impact, ensuring that when consumers recycle our bottles, no cap gets left behind,” said Jon Woods, general manager at Coca-Cola Great Britain, in a statement.Reaction to the new lids has been divided, w...

Johnny Depp’s co-stars’ surprise admissions

However, many of Depp’s former co-stars offer a loyal, stark contrast to the recent testimony during the 58-year-old film star’s vicious defamation trial with ex-wife and “Aquaman” actress Amber Heard, 36.First up: Actress Ellen Barkin, who had a romantic — or “sexual” — relationship with Depp when they both starred in the 1998 cult classic “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” testified that he threw a wine bottle at her during their relationship.Barkin, 68, said the actor was arguing with friends in a hotel room when he tossed the object. She also reiterated Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard’s claim that he was a “jealous man.”“Controlling,” is how Barkin described Depp. “Asking me, ‘Where are you going? Who are you meeting with?”’Another time, “I had a scratch on my back that once got him very, very angry because he insisted it came from me having sex with a person who wasn’t him,” she said in the deposition, recorded in 2019 and played for jurors in the Virginia trial on Thursday.Meanwhile, D...
