Back to the drawing board for the Liberals in Tangney, Labor preselection jockeying in Queensland, and a confirmed date for proposed new federal boundaries for Western Australia. The week after the federal budget was as always a big one for federal opinion polling, which means it will be followed by a trough next week. • Mark Wales, the preselected Liberal candidate for the crucial Perth seat of Tangney, has stood aside due to a health issue within his family. • The Australian’s Feeding the Chooks column reports that state Ipswich MP Jennifer Howard has withdrawn her preselection challenge against Shayne Neumann in the federal seat of Blair. Anthony Albanese threw his weight behind Neumann amid concern over the security of Labor’s hold on a seat Neumann has held since 2007, and which he retained by a 5.2% margin in 2022.

Link Tech Hubble’s New Galactic Finds David Graver10,000 times more luminous than our Milky Way, a series of the universe’s “brightest infrared galaxies” have been captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Using a natural phenomenon called gravitation lensing, the galactic imagery has been magnified to “reveal a tangled web of misshapen objects punctuated by exotic patterns, such as rings and arcs,” according to NASA. What’s even more curious about the shapes: speculating leads scientists to believe that may have been produced by way of an astronomical collision of massive but distant smaller galaxies.

Palliative medicine consultant Baroness Finlay of Llandaff and consultant nephrologist Dr David Randall said MHK Alex Allinson’s Assisted Dying Bill was complex and dangerous. He advised the Isle of Man not to go ahead with legalising euthanasia and assisted suicide but rather to invest in palliative care. ‘Misplaced faith’In a recent letter to the Times, Lady Finlay said there was “misplaced faith in the ‘safeguards’ surrounding assisted suicide”. “Another proposed ‘safeguard’ is for doctors to detect coercion — yet doctors are trained to trust what their patients tell them and rarely detect financial or emotional coercion.

Born in London in 1991 to Italian parents, Acutis moved to Milan, Italy, while still an infant. He is often quoted as saying, “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven,” a sentiment that encapsulated his approach to life and faith. Throughout his illness, he maintained a positive outlook, often expressing his willingness to suffer for the sake of others and for the Pope. The process of canonization began after Acutis’s death, with Pope Francis recognizing the first miracle attributed to him in 2020. This recognition was a significant step towards sainthood, requiring the verification of a second miracle for canonization to proceed.

Drop from £1,690 driven by fall in wholesale gas prices but household bills still substantially higher than three years ago. The energy price cap in Great Britain will fall 7% to the equivalent of £1,568 a year this summer after a drop in wholesale gas prices. The cap, which is set quarterly, will fall by £122 in July from its current level of £1,690, easing the pressure on household finances. Although that represents a fillip for hard-pressed consumers, it still leaves bills far above the £1,154 cap in the summer of 2021, before the energy crisis. Wholesale gas prices began to rise sharply in 2021 and escalated after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
