Even if there’s disagreement about events taking place overseas, no one wants to see violence or malicious damage in NSW.

\n

I think it’s reprehensible. It’s an indication of a kind of coarsening of the public debate that no one needs in Australia.

\n

This kind of behaviour will be investigated and punished by NSW police.

A lot of people out there … do great things, but don’t have a lot of money, and they’re doing great things around their own community. Why they continue to give politicians awards is beyond me. Really gets up my nose. I have to be honest with you, we get paid to do the job for you. We shouldn’t be getting awards on top of it. Full stop.

\n

Key events

What we learned; Monday 10 June

And that’s a wrap. Here’s what we were talking about today:

Thank you for joining us.

Tim Ayres says Coalition’s nuclear policy ‘too silly for words’

Labor senator Tim Ayres has branded the Coalition’s nuclear energy policy “too silly for words”.

Speaking with the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing, he said the Liberal party and the National party were being led by “crass base politics” and “can’t see beyond their own internal politics.”

That’s why we’ve ended up with this too-silly-for-words nuclear proposition. It’s an economic cul-de-sac for Australia. Bad idea … Projects not measured in millions of dollars of cost, but tens of billions of dollars worth of cost. Projects that spin out not for a few years, but for decades.

This is nonsense. They know it. And they’ll be judged for what is a not-serious energy policy.

Michael McCormack says Costello did the ‘right thing’ by stepping aside from Nine board position

The Nationals MP – and former newspaper editor – Michael McCormack says that the outgoing chair of Nine, Peter Costello, has “done the right thing” by resigning from the media company’s board.

“He’s done the right thing. He’s stepped aside,” the shadow minister for international development told the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing.

Journos can always ask you tough questions. I’ve been on both sides of the coin. I’ve asked the tough questions. I’ve indeed been thrown out physically from a meeting room. I’ve also been asked the tough questions. You have to treat journalists with respect. Public places are their workplace.

“Channel Nine has been producing news, they’ve got a lot of good journalists and have had for decades. They’ll recover from this,” he said.

Queensland revs up for budget week

It might be a public holiday in most of the country, but politicians in the sunshine state are busier than ever.

This is day one of budget week. It’s treasurer Cameron Dick’s fifth budget, and with an election in October, it could be his most important.

In a press conference held after cabinet endorsed his plan, Dick said “tomorrow in the budget, we will be focusing on the thing that matters the most to Queenslanders, and that’s cost of living relief”.

For the last month, the government has been announcing and spruiking a series of handouts including a $1,000 energy rebate, 50-cent public transport fares and 20% off car registration.

The premier, Steven Miles, stood in front of three pull up banners advertising the cost of living measures while denying the budget was written with an eye to election day. He said more announcements were coming.

“There’ll be plenty new for us to discuss tomorrow, but what you’ve already seen is just how determined we are for this budget to deliver what matters for Queenslanders, and I think it’s generated a level of interest that is not often seen for a budget,” he said.

The number of people who stopped me at the footy the other night to talk to me about 50 cent fares just tells me that where we’re addressing the things that Queenslanders want us to do.

The focus of this budget is delivering for Queenslanders now and for the future. And I’ve always said that come October, Queenslanders will judge us for how we govern.

‘No update’ on anti-discrimination reforms: Steven Miles

Andrew Messenger

Queensland’s premier said there is “no update” on the state’s planned anti-discrimination reforms.

My colleague Ben Smee reported this morning that they were considering watering down reforms designed to ban discrimination in religious schools.

“Is there any update on the anti-discrimination changes in relation to Citipointe?” the premier, Steven Miles, was asked a press conference this afternoon.

“No, not at this stage,” he said.

For a little light relief this afternoon, you could do worse than whiling away a few moments on daredevil Donn Delson’s captivating aerial images:

The Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, has weighed in on her predecessor Daniel Andrews’ King’s Birthday honours gong.

‘Incompetent but serious’: Queensland armed robber pleads guilty

Over to Queensland now, where the son of a pro-gun political party’s founder has been jailed for a spree of “incompetent but serious” attempted armed robbery offences and a ram-raid.

Jamie Ronald Madden pleaded guilty on Monday in Brisbane District Court to eight charges including attempted armed robbery with an imitation firearm, two attempted robberies and attempted break-in, reports AAP.

The 33-year-old son of Love Australia or Leave Party founder Kim Vuga also pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving while escaping police.

Madden’s sentencing was part-heard in February before being adjourned to obtain a psychological report.

Crown prosecutor Blake Crook said at the time that Madden was on parole for a seven-year sentence and had been ordered to return to custody just prior to the start of his offending on April 14, 2023.

“(Madden) engaged in a very serious crime spree over the course of four days,” Mr Crook said.

Madden broke into a premises at Southport on the Gold Coast to get the keys to a vehicle and the next day at 6am entered two shops at Deception Bay, north of Brisbane, and attempted to rob three people of their car keys.

“He said he was on the run from police and threatened to shoot each of them,” Mr Cook said.

Madden was sentenced to four-and-a-half years’ imprisonment, to be served cumulatively with his prior seven-year sentence as he had offended while on parole.

He will be eligible for parole in April 2025.

Melbourne King George V statue vandalised

On this King’s Birthday public holiday, a statue of King George V has been beheaded and covered in red paint in the latest attack on colonial monuments in Victoria.

Police were called to the King George V statue in Melbourne’s Kings Domain on Linlithgow Avenue just after 9am on Monday, reports AAP.

Victoria, and most other states in Australia, held a public holiday on Monday to observe King Charles’s birthday.

“It appears the head of the statue has been removed and red paint thrown at the monument,” a police spokesman said in a statement.

Other statues have been the target of vandals this year, including a statue of Captain James Cook that was cut at the ankles before it toppled in Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne on February 27.

Another Captain Cook statue at St Kilda’s Jacka Boulevard was also sawn off at the ankles the day before Australia Day.

That same day, a statue of Queen Victoria at Queen Victoria Gardens near the city was covered in red paint and graffiti.

A second monument to Captain Cook at Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy was found broken and covered in graffiti over the Australia Day long weekend.

Severe weather warnings issued for parts of Tasmania and Victoria

It’ll be a windy evening and start to Tuesday for much of Tasmania and parts of Victoria, with the Bureau of Meteorology issuing severe weather warnings for both states.

Damaging winds will affect Victoria’s elevated areas including the Otway, Macedon, Central, Northeast and Gippsland ranges overnight and into tomorrow morning, warns the state’s emergency service.

Daisy Dumas

Thanks, Rafqa Touma, and hello. I’ll be bringing you the news for the remainder of this King’s Birthday holiday.

Rafqa Touma

That is all from me today! Handing over now to my lovely colleague Daisy Dumas to take you through the afternoon’s news.

Bill Shorten congratulates Colleen Taylor on King’s birthday honour

The Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Bill Shorten, has congratulated former public servant Colleen Taylor for being awarded an OAM.

“As a frontline worker in the compliance area for Centrelink, Taylor displayed decency, ethics and compassion when attending the Robodebt Royal Commission to provide exemplary evidence in December 2022,” as put in a statement from Shorten’s office.

The statement continues:

Taylor, a true hero, called out the inaccuracies of the Robodebt scheme to her superiors in 2016, explaining the harm this would cause to the Department of Human Services’ most vulnerable customers. When her pleas would not be heard, Ms Taylor persevered, even at the risk of her own job security and promotion, contacting senior executives in the belief they were being misled.

Shorten commended Taylor’s dedication to the truth:

Ms Taylor, a compassionate, humble and model public servant, put her job on the line because it was the right thing to do. Ms Taylor fully deserves the recognition of a King’s Birthday honour in acknowledgement of her integrity and bravery”, Minister Shorten said.

You can read Taylor’s story, from Luke Henriques-Gomes, here:

New Israel Fund Australia joins calls for Israel-Gaza ceasefire

Further to the previous post, the New Israel Fund Australia has added its voice to calls for the ceasefire deal to be adopted by Israel and Hamas.

NIF Australia, which campaigns for equality, democracy and pluralism” in Israel, issued a statement saying that it was “overjoyed at the news that 245 days after their capture, four hostages have been returned home”. But NIF Australia also said the Israeli rescue operation had resulted in too many deaths:

We, like so many in the Jewish community, have been desperately awaiting the return of the hostages … and, for this reason, we reiterate our calls from last week for all parties to accept the current proposal for a permanent ceasefire and the return of the hostages. There can be no lasting joy in this period of war. We desperately wish for Israel-Palestine to be safe and secure and the only way to ensure that, is a ceasefire deal that brings the hostages home.

The operation that returned the hostages led to too many tragic deaths, and we know that the longer this war goes on, the more lives will be lost unnecessarily. The only period since October 7 where there was a dramatic halt in the number of civilian casualties and there were more than 100 hostages returned was during the month of November when the first ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas was struck.

We must work to achieve another ceasefire deal, so that all remaining hostages are returned home and no further lives are lost unnecessarily.

Australia renews call for Gaza ceasefire after death toll from hostage release operation mounts

The Australian government has responded cautiously to reports from the Gaza health ministry that more than 270 Palestinians were killed and more than 600 injured in the Israeli operation to rescue four hostages.

A spokesperson for the foreign affairs minister, Penny Wong, said:

We want to see all hostages released, civilians protected, and parties agree to the ceasefire proposal presented by President Biden.

This echoes the comments from Anthony Albanese earlier today reiterating support for the US president’s ceasefire proposal. The prime minister had said there had been “too much loss of life, both Israelis and Palestinians”. Albanese had condemned Hamas for taking hostages “and keeping them in captivity close to where there are so many Palestinian civilians”.

In contrast, the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called Saturday’s events a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.

The Israeli military has said its forces came under attack during a complex operation, and “under 100 people were killed”; a spokesperson said he did not know how many were civilians.
