Dutton concedes election as Labor eyes larger majority
"One fact I think we can all acknowledge and recognise is the Donald Trump factor. It was devastating in Canada for the Conservatives where the Canadian Conservative leader lost 20 points over the course of a few months," he told ABC, referring to the country's recent election.

Ambassador to talk trade amid renewed EU negotiations
Increasing trade ties with Australia will be front and centre in a major address by the European Union's leading diplomat. EU ambassador Gabriele Visentin will speak to the National Press Club on Wednesday, as Australia and the trading bloc revive negotiations for a sweeping free-trade agreement. Long-stalled talks have resumed following the global uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump's tariffs on exports to America, which have up-ended long-standing relationships. While negotiations began in 2018, they stalled over the EU's issues with geographic indicators. The trading bloc had been concerned by Australian producers using terms like prosecco or feta for products that didn't come from specific regions in Europe. Trade is expected to be a key point of Mr Visentin's speech, which will centre on the EU as a crucial world power. The EU is Australia's third-largest trading partner, with 450 million people in the European bloc, and is worth more than $150 billion a year. Trade Minister Don Farrell met with his European counterparts while in Paris for the OECD summit last week. He said he was confident a deal could be reached. "We've got lots of things that we can sell to the Europeans," he said. "I believe now that there's an appetite to reach an agreement on both sides. The world has changed."

Marines arrive in LA after police chief gives warning
Marines deployed by President Donald Trump arrived in the Los Angeles area after the city's police chief warned of significant challenges to law enforcement if it was done without co-ordination with his department. Seven hundred troops from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines have made it to the greater LA area, a spokesperson for the US Northern Command said, without disclosing their specific location or duties. They will join about 2100 members of the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team who are also on location in the area, including in Paramount and Compton, according to the spokesperson.
