'Wake up call': Securty expert says Australians must take security more seriously following ASIO boss' espionage warning
Strategic Analysis Australia founder and Director Peter Jennings told Sky News host Steve Price that comments made by the boss of ASIO should be a wake-up call to all Australians on the threat foreign espionage poses. ASIO chief Mike Burgess at a conference in Adelaide revealed foreign espionage was costing the Australian economy $12.5 billion a year as he unveiled the inaugural cost of espionage report. Reacting on Sky News on Friday, Mr Jennings told host Steve Price that it was not surprising. 'This is industrial level espionage and intellectual property theft," he said. 'And of course it's being directed against Australia because we're a high technology country with very significant alliance relations with the United States and other developed economies, and it will be happening all the time.' Mr Jennings said that Australia needed to be taking steps to protect its military and economy from people who were looking to take advantage of the situation, adding that businesses needed to be aware of the risks they are facing. 'Mike Burgess touches on this in his speech as well, how naive Australians are to imagine that it couldn't possibly happen here or it wouldn't happen to my business,' he said. 'And Mike actually quotes Australian officials saying, oh, well, no one would be interested in going after my information. This is industrial level espionage and intellectual property theft' Mr Burgess on Thursday said "Many entities do not know their secrets have been stolen, or do not realise they've been stolen by espionage, or do not report the theft.' He also said that there were many countries that were committing this espionage. 'The obvious candidates are very active – I've previously named China, Russia and Iran – but many other countries are also targeting anyone and anything that could give them a strategic or tactical advantage, including sensitive but unclassified information.' Mr Burgess also said that he could not understand why some people were mentioning on social media that they carried a security clearance. "On just one professional networking site, the profiles of more than 35,000 Australians indicate they have access to sensitive and potentially classified information. Around 7,000 reference their work in the defence sector, including the specific project they are working on, the team they are working in, and the critical technologies they are working with," he said. "Close to 400 explicitly say they work on AUKUS, and the figure rises above 2,000 if you include broader references to 'submarines' and 'nuclear'.

Campbell Newman on what ‘needs to happen' to close the gap for Indigenous communities
Former Queensland premier Campbell Newman discusses the things that 'need to happen' to help the Indigenous community in Australia. In a joint statement, Uluru Statement co-architects Pat Anderson and Professor Megan Davis have claimed the upcoming appearances by Anthony Albanese at the Garma Festival in Arnhem Land will be a 'performative opportunity for the government to repeat their talking points'. 'The focus has to be on building communities that economically prosperous, that are viable, that have real jobs and real opportunity,' Mr Newman told Sky News host Steve Price. 'That means getting young kids to school and staying in school and it means bringing those opportunities instead of blocking them.'

‘Visual propaganda': Controversial photo of a Gazan child sparks outrage
Sky News host Rowan Dean says the photo of a child with underlying health conditions in Gaza is akin to 'visual propaganda,' practiced by Nazis. 'It was the Nazis who perfected the art of visual propaganda. But the communists, the fascists, socialists, and indeed all sorts of regimes rely on propaganda to sway public opinion to their cause,' Mr Dean said. 'But now, alas, and this week proved it, we have entered a very dangerous world, where news outlets are happy to show photographs that are presented in a way every bit as phony and as sinister as the forgery of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and for what seems to me to be the very same purposes. 'A week ago today, the New York Times, once but certainly no longer one of the most respected newspapers in the world, published this image on its front page of a child with a caption that said the boy had been born healthy before suffering malnutrition in Gaza.'
