The Albanese government has reportedly listed white supremacist network Terrorgram as a terrorist organisation. Penny Wong announced sanctions on the group earlier this year. The home affairs minister, Tony Burke, will have more to say on that soon.
The big domestic political event of the day comes in Canberra with a joint Coalition party room meeting to discuss reforms and the federal election review. Our report this morning tells us that Sussan Ley will be seeking a more inclusive policymaking process in order to avoid the mistakes of the Dutton era. We'll have more coming up.
And as we reported earlier in the week, staffers from the offices of the New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, and the police minister, Yasmin Catley, have agreed to appear before a parliamentary inquiry into the Dural caravan 'fake terrorism plot' today – we'll have more on that.
