The Gaza/Israeli war has bumped the long-running Russian invasion of Ukraine off the front pages, but that deadly conflict continues, and a fickle West cannot lose sight of it. 

Liberal leader Elizabeth Lee last week removed Jeremy Hanson as her deputy. The up-and-coming, talented Leanne Castley became deputy. The vote was apparently five to three. Several days later, Elizabeth announced her shadow cabinet, and Jeremy Hanson and Elizabeth Kikkert were left out.

Now, Papua New Guinea is the only country in the world that has rugby league as its national sport. It appears that the Kumuls – the PNG national team – could be admitted into the National Rugby League (NRL) in 2027. 

First, congratulations to Dave Sharma on winning the NSW Liberal Senate preselection. He is a quality person, and should make an excellent addition to our national parliament.

Bit of a mismatch this week, folks, but there’s a lot on.
