Here’s what’s making news further afield:

President Donald Trump has ruled out a tariff exemption for Australia on steel and aluminium exports, which will begin tomorrow in the US. Cabinet minister Clare O’Neil told Seven’s Sunrise program discussions were ongoing, and she was not going to accept a final decision had been made.

After his interview on US television earned the criticism of Trump, our former PM Malcolm Turnbull writes for us: ‘I won’t be gaslit over Trump. If you suck up to him, you will get more bullying’.

And while on the topic of Trump: the US administration has lifted its suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, and Kyiv has signalled it is open to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia.

Clive Palmer’s Trumpet of Patriots party has pledged to spend more than the record $100 million he spent at the 2022 federal election, as transgender advocacy groups voice outrage over a series of political ads published in major newspapers.

Also causing ripples over ads is an online newspaper labelled “fake” by the Coalition, which claims it is funded by top teal donors and is paying to boost positive stories about independents.

Controversial neurosurgeon Charlie Teo has agreed to pay the children and husband of a patient who died shortly after he operated on her incurable brain tumour.

A woman who cared for hundreds of kangaroos as a wildlife volunteer has been found guilty of aggravated cruelty, sending “shockwaves” through the animal rescue community.

And as Trump rolls out his agenda in the US, Australian women are fearful, while services are bracing for “an escalation of abuse” spurred by a rise in misogynistic rhetoric online.
