Fordham mentioned that Ms Price also opposes an Indigenous voice to parliament, and she replied that Labor is 'certainly not recognising the voices that actually instigated the (cashless Centrelink) card in the first place'.

Twitter's battle with Musk has been filled with unexpected twists. Twitter's former head of security Peiter "Mudge" Zatko filed a whistleblower complaint against the social media company, alleging that the platform prioritized making more money over user security. As part of the whistleblower complaint, Zatko also accused Twitter of lying to Musk about the number of spam bots on its platform. Twitter pushed back against the allegations, saying they were "riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and [lack] important context."
Also, with Beijing strictly restricting game approvals at home and still suspending approvals for games of foreign IPs, Tencent is forced to move towards gaining control of foreign game companies and their IPs, said the four sources.
Elsewhere, Tencent also seeks to increase its investment in and make deeper forays into Southeast Asia as it sees the region - home to 650 million people - as having potential to replicate the success of China's internet boom, said two of the sources.
Tencent in September raised its stake in Ubisoft in a deal that made the Chinese firm the single biggest shareholder of the top French games developer, with a stake of 11% which can be further increased to as much as 17%.
The judge's ruling is the latest development in what has been a tumultuous transition period for Twitter. In a surprise twist this week, Musk's lawyer Mike Ringler on Monday sent a letter to Twitter stating that the billionaire intends to move forward with purchasing the company for the original offer price. Musk's lawyers then said in a motion on Thursday that there's no longer a need for a trial because the billionaire plans to close the deal.
Twitter alleges in a lawsuit against Musk that the reason why the Tesla and SpaceX leader didn't want to buy the social network anymore is because his personal wealth has fallen. Musk, on the other hand, accused Twitter of misrepresenting or omitting information, including about the number of fake and spam accounts on its platform.
Tencent's growing focus on overseas assets and markets is in sharp contrast to its much slower dealmaking pace at home since the regulatory clampdowns intensified, and the divestment of a clutch of domestic portfolio companies.
Tencent's new strategy indicates how China's tech titans are looking to emerge from the regulatory shadows after two years of crackdown and uncertainty that weighed on their sales at home and triggered a massive selloff in their stocks.
Against that backdrop, Tencent has barely made investments in China this year versus 27 deals worth $3 billion offshore, Refinitiv data show.
It has been reducing its portfolio partly to placate regulators and also to book some hefty profits, sources have told Reuters.
The Ubisoft deal comes just after deep-pocketed Tencent in June acquired Copenhagen-based Sybo Games, the developer of hit mobile game Subway Surfer, and in August took sneak a peek at these guys 16.25% stake in Japan's "Elden Ring" developer FromSoftware.
Tencent's pursuit of bigger stakes in its existing gaming portfolio or new targets would give the company a bigger say in such firms' businesses and also help it secure the intellectual property rights of popular games, said the four sources.
Twitter sued Musk in July after he tried to back out of buying the company for $54.20 per share. Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the Delaware judge overseeing the case, on Thursday granted Musk's request to halt legal proceedings in the high-stakes battle. Twitter and Musk were scheduled to square off on Oct. 17 during a five-day trial in the Delaware Chancery Court. The trial is now on pause to give Twitter and Musk time to complete the deal by Oct. 28.
However, it is now aggressively seeking to own majority or even controlling stakes in overseas targets, notably in gaming assets in Europe, the four people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
