New laws will give Australians the right to sue for ‘serious’ breaches of privacy
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 11:00:03 GMT

Children to be given extra protection but rejection of right for adults to opt out of targeted ads likely to disappoint consumer rights advocates

Australians will gain a right to sue for “serious” breaches of privacy under reforms that would also require small businesses to comply with privacy laws for the first time.

Children will also gain extra privacy protection, but a broader right for adults to opt out of targeted advertising recommended by the attorney general’s department has been rejected by the Albanese government, a decision likely to disappoint consumer rights advocates.

First Thing: Donald Trump committed fraud, New York judge rules in civil case
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 10:24:21 GMT

Judge refuses to dismiss lawsuit accusing former US president of inflating assets and net worth

Good morning.

Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House, a New York judge ruled yesterday in a strongly worded rejection of the former president’s bid to throw out a civil lawsuit against him.

What did Trump say? Alina Habba, Trump’s general counsel, described the Trump Organization as “an American success story” and called the judge’s ruling “fundamentally flawed”. She added that they intended to appeal immediately against the decision “because President Trump and his family, like every American business owner, is entitled to their day in court”.

When will TV and film production resume? Late-night and daytime television are expected to return to the air quickly. But most TV and film production cannot yet resume as the actors’ strike is still under way, and the strikes have already affected the production and release schedules for the coming months.

Senate finds breakthrough on funding as government shutdown looms
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 01:04:45 GMT

Stopgap deal reached Tuesday is a big step forward, but hard-right House Republicans still show little sign of relenting on budget

The Senate took a significant step on Tuesday to extend government funding beyond the end of the month, with just days left to avoid a shutdown that could force millions of federal employees to go without pay.

In a vote of 77 to 19, the Senate advanced a shell bill that will become a stopgap measure to fund the government through 17 November while directing roughly $6bn toward Ukraine’s war efforts and another $6bn toward disaster relief.

The 79-page stopgap spending bill would not include any border security measures, a major sticking point for House Republicans

In a major blow to Bob Menendez’s support, Cory Booker, his fellow Democratic senator from New Jersey, says he should resign following his indictment on corruption charges last week.

“I believe stepping down is best for those Senator Menendez has spent his life serving,” said Booker, who supported Menendez when he previously faced corruption charges in 2015.

: U.S. stocks open lower amid government-shutdown worries
Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:30:00 GMT

U.S. stocks opened lower Tuesday amid worries over a potential government shutdown and higher Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA was down 0.6% soon after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 SPX shed 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP dropped 0.7%, according to FactSet data, at last check. Investors are watching for Congress to pass a budget by Saturday or risk a U.S. government shutdown. Moody’s has said that a shutdown “would demonstrate the significant constraints that intensifying political polarization put on fiscal policymaking at a time of declining fiscal strength, driven by widening fiscal deficits and deteriorating debt affordability.” Meanwhile, ten-year Treasury yields were down slightly on Tuesday at around 4.51%, after on Monday ending at the highest level since October 17, 2007.

Come ask us anything about why these bills would do more harm than good, and what lawmakers and regulators can do instead to address the harm that Big Tech’s surveillance driven business model is doing to kids and our democracy without undermining human rights and free expression.
