Canberra Political Digest

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Digital Safety: Parliament is debating Labor’s online safety overhaul, with the Greens pushing to let Australians sue tech companies and critics warning of government overreach. Small Business: After a backlash, the government delayed the ATO’s credit-card payment ban until July 2027; a Labor minister is also urging the RBA to go further on card surcharges. Foreign Affairs: Penny Wong urged the Palestinian Authority to hold elections without delay, calling their postponement deeply disappointing. She also ruled out Russian fuel imports and clashed with Senator Ralph Babet over his absence from Parliament. Accountability: The anti-corruption watchdog has dropped its investigation into Bruce Lehrmann over alleged submarine-secret disclosures, though related legal disputes continue. Parliamentary Unity: Labor, the Coalition, One Nation and the Greens oppose plans to livestream a US execution in Australia.
