‘There is no reason to believe’ attack perpetrators claim that Iran is running them, Burke says
This morning we become a little clearer about how the two anti -Semitic attacks allegedly directed by the IRGC.
Yesterday, ASIO General Manager, Mike BurgessHe spoke about the participation of “cuts”.
Minister of Interior, Tony BurkeABC News says that he will not go beyond what is said and he will not go beyond what is said, but explains what the deductions are actually:
“Sections” is a term used in the intelligence community, which is a term to make sure that people do not realize who is higher than the chain while going down the chain.
Homeowner James Glenday He asks Burke whether this means that some criminals may not know that Iran is paid by Iran. Burke says:
Yesterday, the language from the general manager was very black. In fact, we have no reason to believe that the people who carry out the actions have no idea who started it.
This does not change the seriousness from the point of view that the Australian government plays a role in directing the attacks on the Australian territory of Iran.
Good morning
Krishani Dhanji
Krishani Dhanji Here with you – thank you so much Martin Farrer To start us.
This morning, there is a lot of reaction that yesterday’s ASIO had evidence that Iran has been involved in two anti -Semitic attacks in Australia.
A very fast summary here: Asio said that there was a reliable evidence that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) managed two attacks and may be more behind. The government will now list the IRGC as a terrorist organization and expelled the Ambassador of Iran and the Embassy personnel.
Tony BurkeThis morning, the Minister of the Interior conducts media tours to discuss the issue more and emphasizes that the attack on the Jewish community and the attack on Australia’s harmony was an attack on the entire nation.
We’ll follow the problem closely, so stay on us!

Universities Australia President says that changes in human sciences wages continue to be ‘naturally unfair’.
Carolyn Evans The federal government will ask for the importance of human sciences and social sciences for future productivity, including yeni new and fair wages for students ”.
The changes in the student fees under the ready -made alumni package were unfair and remained due to their nature. From the introduction of JRG to 2023, local license records decreased by 6% for medium and loud sound [socioeconomic status] Students are only 12% for low sound students.
Evans will propose the federal government to eliminate the highest student contribution, now it is set to about $ 17,000 a year for art degrees and replaces it with the highest second stage.
This will cost the 770 -year year, but it gives students money at a time they need the most. Furthermore, some of this debt is still unlikely to be repaid. There will be a serious decline in a more fair financing system for students and will help to open the door to the university for more Australians.

Universities Australia President, the sector does not deal with the problems ‘will fight with public confidence’ he says
President of Australian Universities, Prof Carolyn Evans In order to regain public trust of the higher education sector, he will say that he should “overcome our deficiencies”.
Today, at an address of the National Press Club, Evans stated that governance issues in various government neighborhoods, including a specialist council, are brought to the agenda, only “negatives” and “reduction arguments” are pushed forward in the public.
We have seen changes in the governance arrangements with the chancellers and the governance arrangements that emerged with the Vice President and the need to compare the payment to the public.
If we are not ready to overcome, accept and work as a sector, I accept that we will struggle with public trust. But at the same time, if we focus only on the deficiencies of universities as a society, I will add that we will miss the opportunity to work with the higher education sector to achieve better results for all Australians.
