Assistant minister to the Prime Minister utilizes stickers and a map to question the whereabouts of the Coalition’s nuclear reactor proposal
Patrick Gorman, the assistant minister to the Prime Minister, has brought attention to the delayed nuclear reactor location plan promised by the Coalition for the past three months. (Initially expected earlier in the year, then during the budget-in-reply, and later in “June/July.”)
Gorman arrived at the doors this morning with props - stickers and a map. Here’s how it unfolded:

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-day
Eight decades have passed since the Normandy landings, also known as D-day.
Operation Overlord was the initial phase in the liberation of France during World War II and remains the most extensive amphibious invasion in military history.
By that stage of the war, most Australian infantry had been deployed to the Pacific, but around 3,200 Australians participated in ”the day of days,” primarily involved in air support alongside British units.
