| | 07/08/2024 Kamala Harris makes VP pick, 13 new endangered species revealed, Australian teen wins skateboard gold |
| | | | Morning everyone. Kamala Harris has picked as her running mate Tim Walz, the progressive Minnesota governor with a history of winning over Republicans. We have extensive reporting on this big story. At the Olympics we’ve seen an incredible gold for the 14-year-old skateboarder Arisa Trew but an agonising exit for the Boomers. Plus we reveal a father’s heartache over the investigation into his son’s murder. |
| | | Australia | | Trew blue | Arisa Trew has become Australia’s youngest ever Olympic gold medallist in winning the skateboarding park event medal overnight at the famous Place de la Concorde. Anthony Albanese has shared a video call with some of Australia’s medal winners to congratulate them on their success. | Reynolds’ ‘pain’ | Linda Reynolds has told a defamation trial she experienced “incredible pain” and at one point left question time and started “sobbing uncontrollably” due to the media scrutiny over Brittany Higgins’ alleged rape.Communications between Higgins and a sexual assault survivor advocate about a fundraising effort will be handed over to Reynolds’ legal team after the senator’s lawyers argued it was an attempt to “capture public opinion”. | Betting balk | A leading anti-gambling advocate has refused to sign a contentious non-disclosure agreement for a briefing with the government about gambling advertising reforms. | Centrepay warnings | A government-appointed reviewer who warned the government of serious problems with its Centrepay debt recovery system 11 years ago says her report was “mostly buried” and ignored. | Turtle danger | The pig-nosed turtle and the Dalhousie catfish are among 13 new species added to Australia’s list of endangered species. |

| | | In-depth | | “To lose a young man like that, it’s not simple,” says Lual Akech. “And there’s no justice.” Lual’s 17-year-old son, Aguer, was killed in 2019 during a fight at a Melbourne train station. As we revealed yesterday, the police investigation into his alleged murder was deeply flawed, resulting in a 15-year-old spending a year in custody, before the case against him collapsed. Lual believes the case was mishandled because of how Victoria police treat South Sudanese-Australians. The force strongly rejects this suggestion. “We’ve been victimised, especially in Victoria,” says Lual. “Are we not human? We should be treated the same way [as other Australians].” |
