Former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has once again found himself the target of media attacks (Screenshots via YouTube)A damning report against Dan Andrews' involvement in a car accident was written by someone with a vendetta against the former Victorian Premier.

This culminated in a 2020 petition by the CAA to “recall Dan Andrews”. The chance that his expert witness report was coloured by his political convictions should have been reported. Another chapter in the ongoing witch hunt by the mainstream media against Dan Andrews.

Man City have sent a letter to the rest of the Premier League in the wake of their legal battle"Of even greater concern, however, is the Premier League 's suggestion that new APT rules should be passed within the next 10 days.

City launched a legal challenge to the APT rules earlier this year on the grounds that they breached competition law. Cliff told clubs it was "peculiar" that the league had said in its summary that City were unsuccessful in the majority of their challenge.

TheGuardian.com reported that after decades of hostility,The UK has agreed to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Plans for the base were the reason the UK severed the Chagos Islands from the rest of Mauritius when it granted the latter independence in 1968 and forcibly displaced up to 2,000 people. This would extinguish the British Indian Ocean Territory, and the IO ISO-3166 two-letter country code and .io domain could also be extinguished. The United Kingdom, which was not a party to the case, disputes and does not recognise the tribunal’s decision, so further legal processes are likely. In October 2024, the UK announced that it would hand over sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius once a treaty is finalised.

Prosecutors in the Netherlands are considering a request to open a criminal case against senior Israeli intelligence officials for allegedly interfering with an investigation by the international criminal court (ICC). The criminal complaint called on the Dutch authorities to honour its obligations to the ICC “as a matter of urgency”, according to extracts of the filing seen by the Guardian. The lawyers urged prosecutors to focus a case on senior members of the Israeli security apparatus for their alleged involvement in potentially criminal acts in the Netherlands. A spokesperson for Israel’s prime minister’s office previously said the Guardian’s reporting included “unfounded allegations meant to hurt the state of Israel”. A spokesperson for the ICC prosecutor’s office said Khan had made clear in May that attempts to “impede, intimidate or improperly influence” ICC officials may constitute article 70 offences.
