Good morning. The fallout over Fatima Payman’s resignation from the Labor party continues amid upheaval in its multicultural branch in Western Australia, where the treasurer and vice-president have quit over the way the senator has been treated. From Queensland, Guardian Australia and SBS The Feed have seen videos that show children screaming, freezing and gasping for air, saying they “can’t breathe”. The footage – from inside the Cairns police watch house – exposes the anguish of children sometimes being kept for weeks in conditions that relatives liken to “torture” and a child psychologist has called “abuse”. In America, Joe Biden says he’d consider withdrawing from the US election race if a “medical condition” emerges, as a poll suggests that nearly two-thirds of Democrats want him to bow out. And closer to home, NSW have won the State of Origin series in a thriller at Suncorp Stadium. |
