Zimbabwe government challenged in court over new PVO law
HARARE - Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights is challenging the government in the High Court in an attempt to repeal a new law. In April, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed the Private Voluntary Organisation Bill into law. The legal body says the PVO law will criminalise legitimate developmental human rights work. The PVO Act allows the government to monitor the operations of all civil society organisations and NGOs and their funding sources. Speaking in parliament recently, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said the law aims to curb NGOs involved in political activities.

Liberal insider describes 'grim' result during massive swing against Dutton in early vote count: 'Houston, we have a problem!'
A Liberal insider has described their party's 'grim' result as the early vote count shows a massive swing against Peter Dutton. Early results showed the Coalition's party vote beginning to trail behind Labor's, Daily Mail Australia political editor Peter van Onselen said. 'If that trend continues Peter Dutton is in trouble and I don't just mean his bid to become PM,' PVO said. 'That includes holding onto the Opposition Leadership, perhaps even his own seat. 'And to be self deprecating my predictions of a minority government would also go out the window. 'Pre-poll is starting to look like the only thing that can save the Coalition from a disaster.' PVO added that a Liberal insider had told him: 'It's grim, Houston we have a problem'. 'A reference to Apollo 13. He says their scrutineers are as glum as the early figures look. 'There is no way the Coalition can win this election even with just these early numbers. 'Certainly not with a majority of their own, but even in minority. While it is too early to rule in or out the Coalition taking away Labor's majority, one way or the other Anthony Albanese has won this election. 'Even if pre-poll votes see sizeable swings back to the Coalition it won't be enough to overturn an informed prediction that Labor has won this election.'
