\n

• The Australian government announced a new $110m assistance package as the next round of support for Ukraine, including military vehicles, ammunition and humanitarian funding.

\n

• Anthony Albanese said the support “will make a tangible difference on the battlefield”.

\n

• Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the support for Ukraine has taken “too long and is too little”, and that Australia should provide Hawkei vehicles, something Ukraine has been publicly calling for.

\n

• Despite this call, Ukraine has praised Australia for its support, with their defence minister Oleksii Reznikov tweeting: “Ukrainian soldiers can really feel the Aussie mateship despite the distance of 15,000km.”

\n

• Speaking of the conflict more broadly, deputy prime minister, Richard Marles, said the attempted mutiny in Russia over the weekend has weakened the government and is “a crack in the edifice”.

\n

• The high court dismissed Russia’s attempt to hold on to the site of its proposed new embassy in Canberra. An hour after the ruling, a Russian official who had been squatting at the site left in a diplomatic vehicle without speaking to reporters.

\n

• Commonwealth Bank suffered a major outage, with customers unable to access their accounts, including transfers and payments, for several hours. At 4pm the bank said the issue had been resolved, but did not say what caused the lengthy outage.

\n

• Albanese says he is confident majority of Australians will vote yes to the Indigenous voice, even as Newspoll suggests support for a yes vote is slipping below 45%.

The deputy prime minister, Richard Marles, says the attempted mutiny in Russia over the weekend has weakened the government and is “a crack in the edifice”.

Marles told Sky News this afternoon that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was “still very much in charge” of the country but military morale was staring to be eroded.

Asked whether Russia weaker today than it was last week after the aborted uprising, Marles said:

\n

I think the answer to that question is yes. I mean, it’s hard to get a very clear sense of what’s happening in Russia obviously but this is a significant set of events which has occurred over the weekend …

\n

To me what it brings into light really is the whole immorality of the invasion by Russia of Ukraine last year. And the morale which underpins that – I think we can see that that is breaking down in the context of what has happened with the Wagner group.

\n

But there’s still a long way to go here and President Putin is still very much in charge of Russia and there is still very much a conflict which is going to take time to conclude.

Asked whether it was a matter of time before Putin lost his grip on power, Marles told the broadcaster:

\n

I’m not going to speculate about things as firmly as that. I mean, there’s a crack in the edifice is the way I suppose I would describe it, but how big that is and it’s significance I think time will tell.

The Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had vowed to lead his troops towards Moscow, but he later agreed to leave Russia for Belarus as part of a deal to end his armed revolt.

The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, is speaking from Perth on the government’s announcement of $110m in support for Ukraine.

\n

We know that Labor party took about $1.5bn out of the defence budget in the recent budget in May, and we know that defence has provided a lot of assistance so far, but they cannot continue to do it from existing resources -they need additional support from the government and this has taken too long and is too little, in terms of what has been provided to Ukraine.

\n

We have seen the insanity of President Putin for a long period of time now. Innocent men, women and children are being slaughtered in Ukraine … president Zelenskiy along with his military advisers know exactly what is required on the ground to have a fighting chance at defeating Putin and his forces.

No, we have been working on this proposal with a view to taking her to cabinet this morning, for some time. The events, obviously occurred over the weekend, but this has been working through, you will note, there have been announcements approximately every four months or so, since we came to Government. We have done it as soon as it’s available, as soon as appropriate.

PwC’s acting chief executive, Kirstin Stubbins, is appearing before a NSW parliamentary inquiry. The state government has announced a three-month suspension on new work with the embattled firm after a scandal involving the misuse of confidential information.

Stubbins has told the inquiry that she will remain in the role until the newly announced chief executive, Kevin Burrowes, replaces her. She has also once again apologised:

\n

It is important to acknowledge that we don’t always get things right. We deeply regret the breach of confidential federal tax policy information that happened around eight years ago and I deeply apologise for that. We failed the standards we set for ourselves as an organisation.

Stubbins said the decision to divest PwC’s government consultancy business was not an admission it could not meet ethical and legal requirements.

\n

We started to look at the ring fencing of this business to address the perceived conflicts, but after careful consideration of that (…) we decided that did not go far enough. We made the difficult decision to divest our government business completely.

Excluding the “don’t knows” puts the yes vote at around 47%.

The Russian government is using the words of prime minister Anthony Albanese to argue to the high court that it should hold on to the site of its proposed embassy while a challenge to new laws designed to dispossess it of the block is heard.

The high court has begun hearing an urgent injunction as part of a Russian challenge to laws designed to kick it off the site of its partially constructed new embassy in Yarralumla. It argued on Monday that it should be allowed to keep hold of the site while the high court challenge is heard, saying its continued possession of the site posed no security risk and had no detrimental impact on the Australian public.

In so doing, lawyers for the Russian Federation pointed to the words of Albanese last week, when he said that the security risk was only posed by a completed embassy building within close proximity to parliament. Albanese said the presence of a lone Russian at the site, who is currently occupying a demountable, was no more than “some bloke” on a “blade of grass”.

Prime minister Anthony Albanese says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a “disaster” for both Ukrainians and Russians, on ABC News Breakfast this morning.

Albanese says he was briefed three times over the weekend on the Wagner group marching on Moscow. Events were moving so fast “it was unclear what was going on with circumstances that seemed bizarre from this distance”, he says.

\n

Quite clearly, you can’t have events like that and just wipe them out, pretend that you will go back to stability. This has been a disaster for Mr Putin. He overplayed his hand and he got it wrong. And some of the consequences of that, I think we saw playing out on the weekend.

Mr Putin thought he could just roll over international law and roll over the people of Ukraine and have regime change there. President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine have shown enormous courage in standing up for their national sovereignty. And, clearly, the democracies around the world, including Australia, will continue to provide support for the people of Ukraine.

\n

What is very clear to me is that the Russian illegal invasion of Ukraine has been a disaster for the people of Ukraine, most importantly, but it has also been a disaster for the people of Russia.

Prime minister Anthony Albanese says he is confident majority of Australians will vote yes to the Indigenous voice, even as Newspoll suggests support for a yes vote is slipping below 45%.

I think that as Australians focus on what is before the Australian people in the last quarter of this year, recognition and listening all upside, not downside for this proposal.

\n

As they focus on it, as business and unions and faith groups and sporting codes all go out there campaigning, talking to people, having a look at what the actual question is that is being asked here, I believe that a majority of Australians will come to the view that I have come to, which is that we will give greater respect to Indigenous Australians but we will also enrich and lift up our nation.

Deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of Simon Crean. He was a good friend and mentor to me from the moment I entered Parliament, building on the relationship his father had with my grandfather.. A man of enormous intellect, integrity and commitment to this country.

In Simon Crean Labor has lost a former leader & a principled yet pragmatic advocate. As a former trade minister he was always generous to those of us who followed him & continued to work for Australia’s national interest until the end. Vale. https://t.co/wF1d5bA5A6

I’m shocked to learn the passing of Simon Crean.

He was a giant of the labour movement, serving as President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, and federal leader of the Australian Labor Party.

PwC has announced a new Australian boss and confirmed it will sell off government consultancy work by spinning off a new company for $1. British exec Kevin Burrowes will head it up, as the consulting firm deals with multiple scandals to do with its handling of sensitive public information. The NSW minister for finance Courtney Houssos said the state government would be assessing the integrity of PwC’s $1 divested business, as part of combatting waste and ineffectiveness in consultancy hires.

University of Sydney staff vote in new enterprise agreement with 4.6% pay rise

Staff at the University of Sydney have overwhelmingly voted in favour of the new enterprise agreement after almost two years of negotiations and periodic industrial action.

An “unprecedented” 8,362 staff voted in the ballot, with 96.5% voting in favour. The deputy vice-chancellor, Annamarie Jagose, wrote to colleagues on Monday afternoon in affirmation of the “great and welcome outcome”.

I thank all parties for their engagement in the good-faith negotiations that produced an agreement that will materially contribute towards making the university a better place to work.

She said the conclusion of the agreement provided “much needed certainty” to staff and would contribute to reducing the university’s reliance on casual academic staff.

The agreement offers a $2,000 sign-on payment and an initial salary increase of 4.6%, to be lodged with the Fair Work Commission in coming days.

Albanese dismisses parliamentary veto on military action

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, says he still believes cabinet should be empowered to sign off of Australian military deployments, rather than being subject to a binding parliamentary vote.

Albanese made the comments after praising the late Labor leader, Simon Crean, for the stand he took against the Iraq war in 2003.

Crean, who died yesterday aged 74, said at the time that the Iraq war was “illegal, unnecessarily and unjust”. In an address to troops leaving on HMAS Kanimbla, Crean said:

You don’t have a choice and my argument is with the government, not with you.

Albanese said in a statement last night that “history has vindicated Simon’s judgment”. Albanese told reporters in Canberra today that Crean “showed extraordinary courage to oppose the Iraq war, but made clear his support for the men and women who serve us in uniform by farewelling a deployment from Sydney during that period”.

When asked by Guardian Australia whether the government would make any structural changes to ensure the Iraq episode couldn’t be repeated in terms of reforms to war powers, Albanese argued that the question was “conflating a range of issues”. The prime minister said:

Simon Crean’s courage in speaking out as he did after the Labor party made that decision collectively, making sure that he went down to farewell our troops, was I think, a courageous moment. That was a moment where we showed leadership.

I believe that cabinets are the appropriate place, governments, to make decisions with regard to Australia’s involvement in military conflict. I think, though, that parliament should get the opportunity to contribute to debate, and that is the Labor party’s position.

Albanese’s phrasing means that parliaments should be able to debate deployments, but not get a binding vote. Crean himself called for reforms to the war powers in 2018, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald:

It can’t be just a prime minister’s call. We need to find a better way to ensure it is a process and decision of the parliament.

‘There’s a crack in the edifice’ of Russia: Marles

Marles speaks on the situation in Russia and Ukraine after the events of the weekend:

I think it would be wrong to draw from this that this is, you know, a moment where everyone can take a deep breath. There is still a conflict engaged here. We stand very much shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine.

But there’s no doubt that there’s a crack in the edifice. The other point I would make is, I think it does bring into question the whole moral support that existed previously for the appalling invasion by Russia of Ukraine. That’s what I take from this. There’s a breaking down of the morale which underpins that. Obviously, that is good news, but there’s a long way to go.
