China called out by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over alleged election interference

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has launched an investigation into alleged interference by China in his nation’s recent elections.

An appointed official will review classified reports about the 2019 and 2021 federal elections and make recommendations for future contests.

China is denying any interference, calling the claims both “baseless and defamatory”.

The launch follows rival political party leaders calling for a public investigation.

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Trudeau says the reports which challenge Canada’s “sovereignty” are shocking.

The investigator has not yet been chosen, with the appointment set to be made in the coming days.

Trudeau will also ask members of parliament and senators in the National Security and Intelligence Committee to begin a new probe of election security.

The PM says Canada has long been aware of meddling attempts by China, alongside Iran and Russia.

What Australia can learn from NZ’s supermarket inquiry

Published

on

Coles and Woolworths, two of Australia’s largest supermarket chains, are about to face a Senate inquiry that aims to scrutinise their market dominance and business practices.

The inquiry’s parallels with a past New Zealand investigation highlight the growing concern over the duopoly’s impact on consumers and smaller businesses.

The Senate inquiry, set to begin next month, comes as a response to mounting public pressure and allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the grocery sector.

New Zealand example

Similar concerns led New Zealand to conduct its own inquiry into the supermarket industry back in 2019, resulting in recommendations for increased regulation and transparency.

The central question here is whether Coles and Woolworths wield too much power in the Australian market, potentially stifling competition and limiting choices for consumers.

With the New Zealand example as a cautionary tale, many are wondering if this inquiry will result in meaningful changes to the Australian grocery landscape.

Elon Musk has thrown a verbal jab at former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, declaring her political campaign as “dead” on X.

The unexpected comment from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has ignited a new wave of discussion within the political sphere, leaving many wondering about the implications for Haley’s political future.

In a tweet that garnered significant attention, Musk criticized Haley’s recent policy stance, writing, “Nikki Haley’s campaign is dead on arrival if she continues to ignore the urgency of climate change.

We need leaders who prioritize the planet’s future.” The tech mogul’s remarks come as Haley, a prominent Republican figure, has been exploring the possibility of running for president in the upcoming election cycle.

Musk’s statement has reignited the debate over climate change within the Republican Party, with many conservatives emphasizing economic interests over environmental concerns.

This raises questions about whether Musk’s endorsement or critique could influence the GOP’s stance on climate issues and potentially impact the 2024 presidential race.
