Photograph: Hilary Wardhaugh/Getty ImagesAustralia accused of being \u2018in denial\u2019 after failure of criminal case against King CharlesAn Indigenous elder attempting to charge King Charles III with genocide says Australia is in denial over its crimes and their ongoing impacts, AAP reports.Uncle Robbie Thorpe has been pursuing legal action against the king since 2023 over the alleged genocide committed against Aboriginal people.On Monday, an application to appeal a decision preventing the case from proceeding was denied.Despite the loss, the Krauatungalung elder and uncle of Senator Lidia Thorpe said the effort has been worth it.He vowed to take the fight to an international jurisdiction. He told AAP:\n double quotation markAustralia is just totally in denial.\n If it wasn\u2019t for the acts of terror and the policies of genocide, Australia wouldn\u2019t exist.\n That\u2019s my reality, and a lot of other people\u2019s.\nThorpe filed a charge sheet with the magistrates court of Victoria in 2023, naming himself as the informant and the king as the accused.The offences alleged were continuing acts of genocide committed since 28 September 2022 against First Peoples, contrary to common law, federal law concerning genocide and First Peoples\u2019 sovereign laws.But the filing was knocked back by a senior registrar of the magistrates court on the grounds that it did not reference any \u201cproper source of law\u201d.A judicial review by the supreme court upheld the registrar\u2019s decision.The court of appeal dismissed an application by Thorpe to appeal the decision on the basis it had no real prospect of success.The appeal court said:\n double quotation markWhile acknowledging the significance of the questions raised by Uncle Robbie, the primary judge stated (correctly and self-evidently) that the only jurisdiction she could exercise was the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Victoria.\n The primary judge concluded that the senior registrar of the Magistrates\u2019 Court acted lawfully ... as the charges alleged in the charge-sheet did not disclose an offence known to the law of Victoria.\nPenrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary out of surgeryPanthers star Nathan Cleary is out of surgery and told fans on social media he\u2019ll \u201cbe back\u201d after he suffered an ankle fracture in a hip-drop tackle during Sunday\u2019s match.Penrith lost to Newcastle 22-14 on Sunday, sending the Knights through to their first grand final in 25 years. Newcastle hooker Phoenix Crossland was sent off for a tackle that left Cleary with a compound fracture and dislocation of the ankle late in the first half.Cleary posted a picture to his social media earlier today from a hospital bed, with his thumbs up and his leg wrapped in a bandage. He wrote:\n double quotation markSurgery done\u2026 Thank you so much to everyone that has reached out, the support has been unbelievable.\n Yesterday sucked but it\u2019s all part of the journey [and] it\u2019s made me even more grateful for the people I have around me.\n I\u2019ll be back.\nNathan Cleary in hospital after surgery.

And that\u2019s why we need a government that is going to take less, not more.\nEarlier today, treasurer Jim Chalmers announced an improvement of $6bn in the budget bottom line.Contact tracing under way in Adelaide after measles cluster spreadsA woman has become the latest in a cluster of measles cases after she spent up to 24 hours in an emergency department while infectious, AAP reports.It brings South Australia\u2019s total number of cases to nine, the highest it\u2019s been in 10 years.SA Health was notified of the case on Sunday afternoon and confirmed it was linked to a cluster at Adelaide\u2019s Brighton Secondary College, where three teenagers contracted the highly infectious disease.The health agency confirmed 24 exposure sites dating back a week, warning those who had come into contact with those areas and weren\u2019t fully immunised to be \u2018\u2018alert for symptoms\u2019\u2019 over the next few weeks.SA\u2019s chief public health officer, Nicola Spurrier, said contact tracing was under way at the hospital to contain the spread:\n double quotation markThe area that concerns me the most is the Queen Elizabeth hospital because you\u2019ve got other vulnerable patients there.\n Unfortunately she was there in an open space for a longer period of time.\n I think there could potentially be additional spread.\nCall for NSW to fund air-conditioning in major public housing estateThe NSW government is being urged to provide funding for reverse cycle air-conditioning in a Sydney public housing estate undergoing a major redevelopment.Public housing advocacy group REDWatch said the developer of the Waterloo public housing estate, Stockland consortium, had not been required, in its contract with Homes NSW, to include air-conditioning in the redevelopment of Waterloo South.RedWatch said that Waterloo South Homes NSW, the team in charge of the redevelopment, had applied to Homes NSW requesting funding for air-conditioning.It comes after the City of Sydney voted unanimously in support of air-conditioning in Waterloo South. The motion, passed last week, said:\n double quotation markSummer air temperatures are becoming increasingly hotter due to global warming. Energy efficient heating and cooling is especially important in social housing because of the medical needs of residents, many of whom are at higher risk of health impacts from extreme heat.\nRedWatch said tenants had also written to housing minister Rose Jackson urging the government to commit the funding.Jordyn BeazleyHello, I\u2019ll now be taking you through our rolling live news coverage for the next little while.Nick VisserThat\u2019s all from me! Jordyn Beazley will snag the blog from here. Take care!\u2018Not all good news\u2019 amid whale conservation anniversaryForty years on from an international moratorium on commercial whaling, the global community is meeting to consider new, unforeseen threats, AAP reports.The International Whaling Commission\u2019s 70th meeting began on Monday at Hobart, with delegates from some 63 member nations in attendance. The commission was founded in 1946, at a time when whale populations had been decimated by decades of unregulated industrial whaling.While populations have in many cases rebounded \u2013 particularly since a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling \u2013 whales remain under threat globally.\u201cIt\u2019s not all good news,\u201d environment minister Murray Watt told delegates.A humpback whale breaching. Photograph: Pacific Whale Foundation/Cover Images/ASSOCIATED PRESSAmong the main issues to be debated at the week-long meeting is a quarter-century old push for a whale sanctuary in the southern Atlantic ocean.The proposal, which was first raised by Brazil in 1998, would extend an existing protected area in the Southern Ocean, protecting whales from West Africa to South America.But pro-whaling nations have refused to back the plan, with some walking out of previous meetings to scupper votes.Albanese says government still focused on cost of living ahead of interest rate decision tomorrowThe prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said the government is continuing to take action on cost of living support amid tomorrow\u2019s expected rate rise by the Reserve Bank.Albanese just held a press conference in Tasmania, where he was asked how mortgage holders should feel before tomorrow\u2019s announcement. He said the government had supported a tax cut earlier this year, free Tafe and multiple health initiatives meant to lower costs.\n double quotation mark[That\u2019s] all aimed at making a difference, because we know people are doing it tough. And will continue to, as well, take work, such as the $6bn reduction in the deficit compared with what was anticipated in our May budget.\nThe prime minister also said the government continues to look into the OpenAI breach.\n double quotation markArtificial intelligence can make an enormous difference. It can boost productivity, it can boost economic growth, it can give us health breakthroughs. But we need to make sure that human beings are in charge of this.\nAnthony Albanese.

It is the Medicare statistics reporting portal.\nThe data that was on the Medicare portal had been moved to a public site, she says:\n double quotation markThe email that notification, that OpenAI came to, has been redirected to essentially be monitored 24-7, not once a day, so there has been some short-term responses that Services Australia put in.\n I expect the forensic investigation to be finished within a matter of weeks, no longer than that.
