Welcome
Good morning and welcome to our live politics blog. I’m Martin Farrer with the best of the overnight stories before Krishani Dhanji picks it up.
There was some evening activity in the Senate last night as senators voted to pass an urgency motion against rules requiring search engines, such as Google, to undertake user identity checks by the end of the year. More details coming up.
Chris Bowen appeared on 7.30 last night when he was grilled about climate policy but also about the UK government’s decision to hold an emergency cabinet meeting about Gaza. The energy minister played that question with a straight bat but the fact that the UK has announced overnight that it will recognise Palestine unless Isrel agrees a truce will increase calls today for Australia to follow suit. More coming up.
Plus the latest Essential poll shows that barely one in seven Australians back Israel’s military action in Gaza. More on that soon too.
