The
“no” vote carried the day in Australia’s referendum. This
means that there will be no amendment to the country’s
constitution to include a First Nations Voice to Parliament.
As Michelle Grattan writes,
the vote is a major rebuff for Prime Minister Anthony
Albanese, and “more important, a devastating blow for the many
Indigenous Australians who had invested their hopes in what
was always – given the history of referendums – a long
shot”.
In
a “tech-first” society, it is increasingly difficult to
differentiate between authentic information and false claims
or deliberately misleading video content. It is clear that
numerous videos, social media posts and images purportedly
about the Israel–Hamas conflict are deliberately misleading.
Mitali Mukherjee maps
the landscape as the conflict escalates and Israel prepares to
invade Gaza with ground forces after ordering an evacuation of
over a million people from the north to the south.
The
prospect of a human running a full marathon in under two hours
feels closer than ever before. On 8 October in Chicago,
Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum not only slashed the world record but
also set the scene for the “sub-2 hour” marathon mark to fall
in the next few years. Simon Angus unpacks
his run and its implications for the endurance race into the
future. |

The
result was definitive, a major rebuff for Anthony Albanese
and, more important, for the many Indigenous Australians who
had put their hopes in what was always a long shot. |

An
onslaught of fake videos on social media is relaying confusing
and deliberately misleading information about the Israel-Gaza
conflict. |

Kiptum
– and to some extent Kipchoge – have done just enough to make
the ‘sub-2’ moment a likely reality in the next few
years. |
