Thank you for reading the blog today after some dramatic events with Qantas flight QF144 this afternoon.

A quick recap of what’s happened:

Qantas flight makes emergency landing after mayday call: The flight from Auckland to Sydney experienced engine trouble one hour away from its destination and issued a mayday call. Emergency services attended the airport as a precaution and the plane touched down safely with more than 100 passengers on board. Travellers said they heard a loud bang during the flight.

Voice won’t be able to sue government when it disagrees, Albanese says: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier this morning rejected suggestions that an Indigenous Voice to parliament could dispute parliamentary decisions in instances where the government disagrees with its advice.

Dutton calls PM to give more Voice details: Opposition leader Peter Dutton has called on the Albanese government to provide more detail on the Voice to Parliament if it wants Australians to have a referendum vote. Dutton criticised Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s appearance on 2GB Radio this morning, saying he appeared unwilling to provide detail on whether he would legislate the Voice if the referendum vote to constitutionally entrench were to fail. He said it was “very tricky” of Albanese to not provide a position on this.

No justification for lack of domestic gas supply contracts, ACCC says: There is no justification for major gas suppliers refusing to offer domestic manufacturers contracts under the price cap, ACCC chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb warned. Cass-Gottlieb told ABC Radio that gas suppliers at this point had enough information about the federal government’s price cap plan to lock in contracts with energy retailers, especially after the regulator yesterday issued interim price cap guidelines.

Butler warns GP system ‘in worst shape in 40 years’: Federal Health Minister Mark Butler last night said Australia’s general practice system was in “the worst shape it’s been in” since Medicare launched 40 years ago, blaming the previous government’s funding decisions.
