Liberal party members attack ALP ads against Turnbull
Coalition members have criticised ALP ads which draw attention to the Prime Minister corporate past as the main reason for the coalitions new plans to cut corporate tax rate.

The ALP ads said the Prime Ministers financial interest register show he directly owns shares in 32 companies worth over 50 million dollars.

Trump calls for deportation without court appearances
US President Donald Trump has called for the US to deport people without facing court, conflicting with current immigration laws.
The President's comments come after he signed an executive order stopping the separation of children from their parents at the US-Mexico border.
A lack of judicial proceeding for Illegal immigrants would forgo the need for Judges and would be an overhaul of the current immigration process.
Rebel Yell: Hired Muscle
- It’s really gratifying to hear how the world has taken to the -let’s be honest- alarming sounds of Grace Stevenson. Two years on from the lo-fi industrial-dance hell of her debut EP, Mother Of Millions and there’s a real sense of anticipation for her first album, Hired Muscle. It’s an enthusiasm for her brutal brand of music that I just couldn’t have imagined when she first kicked all this off.
Susie Scurry: The Elvis Hour
- There’s a moment, just a moment, in the long, slow lilt of I Don’t, a song that moseys through the middle of Susie Scurry’s new EP, out of the rustling of the hushed, brushed snares and Scurry’s half-whispered vocals. Piano chords ring quietly, like bells in the breeze and the string section you never knew was there is only just audible now, but because of that is all the more transporting.
Tanaya Harper: Some Kinds
- Sometimes writing music that's raw and truthful can be a difficult challenge and other times it can be a cathartic release for both the performer and the listener. With Some Kinds in mind, the debut EP from Perth local Tanaya Harper, it's definitely the latter. A deeply personal narrative about living with the struggles of mental health issues, her EP is deceptive. Sometimes pretty and light but other times depressing and full of angst, Some Kinds is a brave first effort for Harper.
