One of Australia's most trusted doctors has urged Australians to actively oppose the Albanese government's proposed new laws.

The NSW Liberal Party has made a desperate move to stop a potentially disastrous outcome in upcoming council elections after a stunning bureaucratic failure led them miss a nomination deadline for candidates.

NBN Co raised its wholesale pricing for residential plans from July 1, with the major telcos due to pass on the increases to Aussie households.

Some of the executives at the ABC have held emergency discussions after Laura Tingle, one its most senior reporters, called Australia 'racist' and slammed the Opposition. Laura Tingle, the national broadcaster's chief 7.30 political correspondent and a staff-elected board member, appeared on a panel for the Sydney Writers' Festival on Sunday.

These four politicians come from four different ends of the political spectrum: Labor, Liberals, Teals, and the Greens. But despite their differences - they share one major thing in common.

The 'silver tsunami' has already seen the burden on working age-people double since 1960 when there were six workers for every over-65. And millions now risk having no-one to help them as the poorly-paid care industry is squeezed out by better paid jobs in a tight labor market. 'An already challenging landscape in the elderly care industry is likely to get worse unless action is taken,' said Dr Kylie Meyer, assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. 'More older adults may go without care, or younger family members may be further financially stretched to help older relatives.'

One of Australia's major telcos has announced it will delay the planned shutdown of its 3G network to give customers more time to upgrade their devices.

Telstra will suspend 3G network on June 30, while Optus is expected to stop operations in September. In December last year, Vodafone also stopped 3G for consumers. Although most smartphones have already been upgraded to 4G or 5G networks, estimates indicate that 3 million products, EFTPOS machines, motorcycles, security cameras, and medical alarms are still dependent on 3G. There are now fears about the one million 4G handsets that are either old or imported in another country and use 3G for calling emergency services. These handsets use 4G for other applications such as calls and texts, but they rely on 3G for phone calling Triple Zero.

EXCLUSIVE: The former tennis champion hosted the show for 24 years, but she had previously said she was 'devastated' when she was fired. The broadcaster credited inflation and dwindling ratings as the long-running sports quiz show that lasted more than 1,300 episodes was cancelled, despite the shocking news. The show premiered in 1970 and was first fronted by veteran Match of the Day reporter David Vine, but Ms Barker, who hosted the show for nearly a quarter of a century, is most well-known for being the show's host. The Wimbledon semi-finalists were first admitted to the programme in 1997 and are quickly evolving to become the show's face.

In the country's cost-of-living crisis, millions of Australians will see a 10 percent rise to their internet bills in the latest price hike. The ACCC has approved the federal government's decision to lift NBN retail prices, which is due to a complete price reform. More than six million Aussies are expected to be charged with an additional 10 percent to their bill, with others facing even higher prices.

COMMENT BY JONATHAN McEVOY: When did you last watch Football Focus?When did anyone? For several of us, it was a staple of rising up, providing us with an inside scoop into the day's matches when there was no other place to turn to. Saint and Greavsie, the only competitor - and a good one at that - at a time when you watched that channel or the other one - or Open University. It's a statement about the way we consume television in the modern age that Football Focus has gained sway. It seems that BBC mandarins, who appear to be keen to maintain it, are merrily harrying away at local radio, making it seem that they are merely content to survive.

The e-Safety Commission recommended the use of a new age verification system that would discourage young people from accessing porn online. Residents who could demonstrate that they were of the age of consent would be granted 'tokens,' with the scheme being described as a 'porn passport.' The federal government turned down the bid, leaving it up to the porn industry to find ways of vetting visitors.

Individuals may be hauled before a watchdog would be allowed to issue large fines over podcasts or websites, according to reports that the Albanese government's laws against mis- and disinformaiton. Although the laws are aimed at social media giants, it is uncertain if individuals will comply with the definition of a 'digital platform service providers', which can face fines up to $6.8 million for disseminating 'harmful' misinformation or disinformation. Critics have slammed the new legislation as 'Orwellian' and a "direct danger to democracy" as Australia's eSafety minister Julie Inman Grant (right) demands Twitter explain what it's doing to prevent a'surge' of online hate and abuse.

OLIVER HOLT: In the sea of lad-banter that is flooding back into football broadcasting, led by a couple of self-regarding BBC presenters whose goal is to see how loudly and often people can laugh at their own jokes, commentators like Martin Tyler and Peter Drury have risen from the flood like islands of luxury and erudition. That is not to say that there aren't already many talented football presenters around. Gary Lineker is a man whose screen presence acts as a welcome back to the halcyon days of Des Lynam, Dickie Davies, Frank Bough, and David Coleman.

JOE BERNSTEIN: TV commentator Martin Tyler, who was fired from Sky Sports on Saturday, has been a regular thread in English football since the 1992 revolution. Tyler, who was in his mid-forties, knew football existed before the Premier League, but like Sir Alex Ferguson, embraced change and new ways without sacrificeing his values, whether as a broadcaster or a game lover. Somebody will follow Martin, but no one will replace him.' Richard Keys, a former Sky host, welcomed him warmly about his colleague. He began wanting to be acknowledged in the same breath as Brian Moore, David Coleman, John Motson.' He did a good job, but not so well.

INTEGRITY BY JOE BERNSTEIN: JOE BERNSTEIN: West Ham's last attempt to a European final was an archetypal 1970s tale of tumultuous decisions, World Cup stars, and the challenges behind the Iron Curtain. The Hammers, who won the European Cup-Winners' Cup under Bobby Moore, returned to action in 1975-76 and came close to winning the trophy by losing 4-2 to Anderlecht. After progressing past Reipas Lahti in the first round, John Lyall's FA Cup winners were drawn against Ararat Yerevan, who later became part of the old Soviet Union but now in modern Armenia.

CRAIG HOPE: Jimmy Montgomery has the photograph that defines his football career and maybe even his life. The picture is defined by the hands. A millisecond of his near-80 years, a moment in time that is now commemorated half a century. If his grandchildren are asked to reflect in another 50 years, this is the legend. For the time being, we are fortunately with the guy himself. Montgomery is fighting prostate cancer, but he's winning, thanks to the care of the Sir Bobby Robson Unit in Newcastle.

JONATHAN MCEVOY: If Gary Lineker's critics felt that forcing Match of the Day would be a big victory in the culture wars that dogged the UK, they were perhaps reflecting on Saturday that it had turned into the supreme Pyrrhic victory. Lineker's overwhelming outpouring of support among fellow analysts and the football community was well beyond what had been expected, leaving the BBC unable to produce even a trace of its normal football output in an unprecedented mass withdrawal of labour. Saturday's football schedule on BBC TV and radio was an emasculated travesty of what the nation's broadcaster usually transmits, forcing the BBC to apologise to its viewers and listeners as its most-cherished shows and institutions were forced off air or broadcast to a standard well below that expected

The company's insides of the drug trafficking bricks of cocaine stamped with the brand 'Dior' (right) has now emerged, as two members were sentenced to years in prison. The gangsters (left) had nicknames like Alien and Airforce1, which they used to chat in encrypted cyber group chats when trafficking drugs. They sold mountains of cocaine, including the French designer brand name stamped on the surface, as well as methamphetamine and MDMA, stashed in freezer bags and sold to customers in Sydney's wealthy Eastern Suburbs. Members, some of whom had links to bikie gangs, exchanged cash for heroin wrapped in Coles shopping bags in car parks, unaware that detectives from NSW's gang and drug squads had pounded them late last year.

The students were included in a rough version of the course guide that surfaced last September and sparked fierce debate over allegations that students were exposed to awakened 'indoctrination.' A final version of the curriculum, black queer studies, and critical race theory were all either diluted or entirely removed from issues related to the Black Lives Matter campaign, 'black queer studies,' and critical race theory. DeSantis, who has made removing 'ideological conformity' in education a central figure in his leadership, has announced that he would not teach the course in Florida's schools. The course, which is divided into four broad units, includes topics ranging from the origins of the African diaspora to slavery and civil rights.

Last week, she told civil servants not to use the Oxford comma. However, Therese Coffey has been caught on the internet using the words that had apparently been outlawed grammar. The newly appointed Health Secretary's own goal was 'tremendously embarrassing,' according to el's Twitter followers, who spotted it on Twitter. One GP wondered if it was 'grammatical inconsistency or high-speed trolling.' Dr. Coffey's gaffe was included in a ministerial foreword atop her NHS recovery scheme, in which she promised not to "paper over" the health service's 'immense challenges.
