And in headlines today, All eyes will be on Canberra today with Andrew Hastie taking himself out of contention to vie for the leadership of the Liberals; The US Department of Justice released 3.5 million more pages in compliance with the Epstein Files transparency act over the weekend, Aussies Clive Palmer and Kevin Rudd named; Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says if the US attacks Iran, it will become a regional war; Israel says it has reopened the critical Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt but only in a limited capacity; Chaka Khan, Cher, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Fela Kuti and Whitney Houston have received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy at the Grammys Special Merit Awards
