Libby Mettam has labelled the polling, commissioned by a mystery Perth business person with links to the party, as ‘flawed and clearly biased’, and has challenged anyone who wishes to be leader to move a no confidence motion against her during a meeting today.

Credit: Holly Thompson/ Supplied “Constant undermining of leaders, especially from the shadows within, is a sad reality in politics today,” she said. “But rather than weaken me it has made me stronger and more determined to succeed - not for myself - but for the people of Western Australia who deserve better. “I’m not a quitter, I’m a fighter.” The polling, published in The West Australian today, suggested another catastrophic election for the Liberals come election day in March. The party currently holds just three out of 59 seats in the Legislative Assembly, with the polling predicting the party has gone backwards since the 2021 election bloodbath, losing ground in 14 key metropolitan seats. Under Mettam, the party is predicted to suffer a 4 per cent drop, with the Liberal primary vote falling to 31 per cent in blue-ribbon seats like Churchlands and Nedlands. On the flip-side, the polling suggests a 3 per cent swing towards the Liberal party under Zempilas’ leadership, and a 38 per cent primary vote. The research, carried out by Sodali and Co, said Zempilas’ leadership could deliver wins in Churchlands, Nedlands, Carine, Bateman and Scarborough. 7.22am Across the nation and around the world Here’s what’s making news this morning.

Government to block incinerators that do not contribute to green plansATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Senate Republicans recommended on Friday that the state write laws banning transgender girls and women from participating in high school and college sports, setting the stage for action in the 2025 legislative session. The vote by a committee that was studying the issue is hardly a surprise. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones — a possible Republican contender for governor in 2026 — announced almost identical goals at the panel's first meeting in August . It’s an issue that’s already been addressed in Georgia. Legislators in 2022 empowered the Georgia High School Association to regulate transgender students' participation in sports. The association, which regulates sports and activities for all public schools and some private schools, then banned transgender boys and girls from playing on the school sports teams matching their gender identity. Jones and others argue that doesn't go far enough and that lawmakers themselves need to act. It's a sign Republicans believe there is more political gain in fears about transgender women playing women’s sports or using women’s bathrooms. At least 26 mostly Republican states have passed laws or rules to restrict transgender girls from participating high school sports and, in some cases, transgender women from college sports , according to the Movement Advancement Project, a gay rights group. In Georgia, additional action appears more likely now after House Speaker Jon Burns and Gov. Brian Kemp, both Republicans, have voiced support for further legislation. Jeff Graham, executive director of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Georgia Equality, said his group is playing defense, concerned about the possibility of other bills that could further restrict gender-affirming care or ban transgender people from using public bathrooms that match their gender identity. “We’re expecting that it’ll be at least what we saw in 2023 and 2024, with the number of bills and more than likely laws,” Graham told reporters Friday. But Burns, from Newington, has said he's not interested in other bills dealing with transgender people besides those dealing with girls' and women's sports. Republican State Sen. Greg Dolezal, of Cumming, who led the Senate study committee, said Friday that he, too, is not interested in a broader bill regulating bathroom usage, although his committee recommended that schools that host sporting events require athletes to use locker rooms based on their assigned sex at birth. Dolezal said senators would seek to write legislation that regulated public schools and colleges, as well as private institutions that compete against public schools and colleges. The committee also recommends that people be able to sue or file grievances if schools break the rules, and that state money be withheld from schools that break the rules. Supporters of more action have focused on the 2022 NCAA women’s swimming championships at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, swam for the University of Pennsylvania and won the 500-meter freestyle . The NCAA has since revised its policy on transgender women’s participation, saying it will follow the rules of respective athletics federations. World Aquatics, the swimming governing body, banned transgender women who have been through male puberty from competing in women’s races. That means Thomas wouldn’t be allowed to swim in NCAA events today. “My basic contention that this is a solution in search of a problem remains,” Graham said. He said he fears that many people who oppose laws that seek to restrict transgender people will be afraid to testify and lobby at the Georgia Capitol, citing assault charges against a man accused of shaking U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol office building in Washington, D.C. Dolezal repeatedly tried to turn down the emotional temperature of the issue on Friday. “I think that there’s a group of people that wants to be respected and I think that they deserve respect,” Dolezal told reporters. “But I also think that you can be respectful, but also recognize that in the sporting arena, fairness and competition is important.”
Butka scores 18 as Pepperdine takes down UC Davis 85-46Australia's Kimberly Birrell has set up a Brisbane International second-round showdown with world No.9 Emma Navarro after a three-set win over compatriot Priscilla Hon. After losing the first set and trailing 3-1 in the second, 26-year-old Birrell won 3-6 7-5 6-2 against her friend and former practice partner. Hon, who had won two qualifiers to make the main draw, led the head-to-head contest between the pair 5-2 going into the match but five had been three-set thrillers. Wildcard entrant Birrell has enjoyed a strong finish to the year, including reaching the final of the Japan Open, and she showcased great fight and skill to get back into the match. Both players had a nervous start to the match on Pat Rafter Arena with four consecutive service breaks in the opening set. World No.167 Hon, also 26, found her groove after serving an ace to take a 4-3 lead. She then broke Birrell and served out the set. Her powerhouse backhand started to find its mark and she found confidence with her serve and volley. World No.113 Birrell's serve has been a weakness in the past and that came to the fore in the opening set where she won just 30 per cent of points with he rfirst serve. Hon won 63 per cent. Hon went out to a 3-1 lead in the second set before Birrell upped the ante. She fought back winning 78 per cent of first serves and attacking the Hon service game. Hon saved three break points early in the deciding set but Birrell broke in the fourth game. Hon broke in the fifth. Birrell won the longest point of the match, which included 31 shots, to break again and take a 4-2 lead. She did not look back after that.Letter writers call for transparency from the Newport News-Christopher Newport University task force and discuss the incoming Trump administration.

It looks like a normal office, but it is allegedly a compound from which scammers targeted innocent Australians and tricked them into handing over their hard-earned money . The Australian Federal Police (AFP) last month executed a search warrant with Philippines authorities at the location, from which they allege men over the age of 35 years were targeted on social media and dating applications in cryptocurrency scams. “The scammers would communicate with victims to build trust before asking them to invest money in a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform,” the AFP said. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today “The alleged scammers were working shifts to align with Australian time zones.” More than 250 suspected cyber criminals were arrested by the AFP and Philippines authorities at the compound in central Manila’s Pasay City on October 3, the AFP said. Of those arrested, 68 were Filipino nationals, while the rest were foreign nationals. Officers seized more than 300 computer towers, more than 1000 mobile phones and thousands of sim cards. The compound was searched by two AFP members and a Manila based-AFP liaison officer, with relevant local partners, for intelligence relating to Australian scam victims. “AFP technical experts and cryptocurrency experts, with the Philippines Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Commission (PAOCC) and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), are now collecting information about who was targeted and the methodologies used to extract cash from victims,” the AFP said. Victims will be contacted as evidence becomes available. This evidence will also be used to help shut down other scam centres operating worldwide if possible. The operation is the first time investigators have accessed a scam centre compound, AFP Assistant Commissioner David McLean said. “A large portion of cybercrime affecting Australians originates offshore, and this action shows how the AFP and its international partners are proactively taking the fight to these syndicates where they operate,” McLean said. “We commend the PAOCC and NBI for their work in identifying this boiler room and taking swift action to shut it down. “I thank them for the trust they have shown in the AFP by allowing us to work with them. “We have gathered valuable intelligence on the structure of these types of scam call centres, how they are targeting Australians and the ways to help identify victims. “An AFP cryptocurrency expert was given a unique insight into the financial and money laundering structures operating within these hubs, and that will be immensely helpful in developing our strategies in combatting this crime impacting Australia.” The AFP urged Australians to be wary of scams, giving the following advice:
DALLAS (AP) — The championship vision that led Nathan Eovaldi to sign with Texas as a free agent two years ago is the same one that brought him back to the Rangers. A World Series title in his first season was followed by a losing record this year. “I believe in the guys in the group that we have. We were able to do it in ‘23. I don’t feel a lot has changed,” Eovaldi said Friday, a day after finalizing a $75 million, three-year contract . “We had a down year last year, but I've said it before, you learn a lot from losing seasons.” Eovaldi had declined a $20 million player option to become a free agent again and reached an agreement during the winter meetings in Dallas. Texas also acquired slugging corner infielder Jake Burger in a swap with Miami. Burger had fallen asleep before getting a call late Tuesday night that he had been traded to Texas, where his family is planning to move after the October birth of a daughter with Down syndrome. “The other city that is really good other than Nashville in terms of children's hospital and resources for her Downs is in Dallas," Burger said. “Not just from the baseball spectrum, from the life aspect as well ... I feel like it was meant to be, and we couldn’t be more more excited about that.” In the Nashville area, Burger lives close to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, whom he plans to visit with soon. His former Marlins manager, Skip Schumaker , was hired last month by the Rangers as a senior adviser for baseball operations, and Luis Urueta, Miami’s bench coach the past two seasons, recently joined Bochy’s on-field coaching staff for 2025. Burger and Rangers pitcher Dane Dunning were once roommates in the Chicago White Sox organization. Burger hit .250 with 29 home runs and 76 RBIs in 137 games for the Marlins last season, when he started 59 games at third base and 50 starts at first. He was with the White Sox in Texas when he got traded to Miami on Aug. 1, 2023, and four days later hit his first homer with the Marlins at Globe Life Field. When the Rangers made the title run in 2023, Eovaldi was 5-0 with a 2.95 ERA in six postseason starts. He was the winning pitcher in their World Series-clinching Game 5 at Arizona. He was also part of Boston’s 2018 title. Eovaldi was 12-8 this year with a 3.80 ERA in 29 starts, the last seven scoreless innings in the regular-season finale. He is 24-13 with a 3.72 ERA in 54 starts for Texas the past two seasons. The new deal for the Texas native, who who turns 35 in February, includes a $12 million signing bonus, half payable on Nov. 15, 2026, and the rest on Jan. 15, 2028, and salaries of $18 million next season, $25 million in 2026 and $20 million in 2027. He gets a full no-trade provision. After being welcomed back by Chris Young, the team's president of baseball operations, the pitcher said he never felt like he really left. The Rangers stayed in contact throughout the process after he declined his option Nov. 4. “Kind of listening to the market and everything, I’m extremely happy to be back. I’m glad we were we were able to make it all work out,” Eovaldi said. “We had a lot of teams reach out right away and we were in contact with most them across the league. Ultimately we were able to make it back here.” ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb Stephen Hawkins, The Associated Press

University slammed for making 'troubling' link between donors and slave tradeBERLIN (AP) — Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel recalls Vladimir Putin's “power games” over the years, remembers contrasting meetings with Barack Obama and Donald Trump and says she asked herself whether she could have done more to prevent Brexit, in her memoirs published Tuesday. Merkel, 70, appears to have no significant doubts about the major decisions of her 16 years as German leader, whose major challenges included the global financial crisis, Europe’s debt crisis, the 2015-16 influx of refugees and the COVID-19 pandemic. True to form, her book — titled “Freedom” — offers a matter-of-fact account of her early life in communist East Germany and her later career in politics, laced with moments of dry wit. Merkel served alongside four U.S. presidents , four French presidents and five British prime ministers. But it is perhaps her dealings with Russian President Putin that have drawn the most scrutiny since she left office in late 2021. Merkel recalls being kept waiting by Putin at the Group of Eight summit she hosted in 2007 — “if there's one thing I can't stand, it's unpunctuality.” And she recounts a visit to the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi that year in which Putin's labrador appeared during a photo opportunity, although Putin knew she was afraid of dogs. Putin appeared to enjoy the situation, she writes, and she didn't bring it up — keeping as she often did to the motto “never explain, never complain.” The previous year, she recounts Putin pointing to wooden houses in Siberia and telling her poor people lived there who “could be easily seduced,” and that similar groups had been encouraged by money from the U.S. government to take part in Ukraine's “Orange Revolution” of 2004 against attempted election fraud. Putin, she says, added: “I will never allow something like that in Russia.” Merkel says she was irritated by Putin's “self-righteousness” in a 2007 speech in Munich in which he turned away from earlier attempts to develop closer ties with the U.S. She said that appearance showed Putin as she knew him, “as someone who was always on guard against being treated badly and ready to give out at any time, including power games with a dog and making other people wait for him.” “One could find this all childish and reprehensible, one could shake one's head over it — but that didn't make Russia disappear from the map,” she writes. As she has before, Merkel defends a much-criticized 2015 peace deal for eastern Ukraine that she helped broker and her government's decisions to buy large quantities of natural gas from Russia. And she argues it was right to keep up diplomatic and trade ties with Moscow until she left power, Merkel concluded after first meeting then-Sen. Obama in 2008 that they could work well together. More than eight years later, during his last visit as president in Nov. 2016, she was one of the people with whom she discussed whether to seek a fourth term. Obama, she says, asked questions but held back with an opinion, and that in itself was helpful. He “said that Europe could still use me very well, but I should ultimately follow my feelings,” she writes. There was no such warmth with Trump, who had criticized Merkel and Germany in his 2016 campaign. Merkel says she had to seek an “adequate relationship ... without reacting to all the provocations.” In March 2017, there was an awkward moment when Merkel first visited the Trump White House. Photographers shouted “handshake!” and Merkel quietly asked Trump: “Do you want to have a handshake?” There was no response from Trump, who looked ahead with his hands clasped. Merkel faults her own reaction. “He wanted to create a topic of discussion with his behavior, while I had acted as if I were dealing with an interlocutor behaving normally,” she writes. She adds that Putin apparently “fascinated” Trump and, in the following years, she had the impression that “politicians with autocratic and dictatorial traits” beguiled him. Merkel says she tried to help then-Prime Minister David Cameron in the European Union as he faced pressure from British Euroskeptics, but there were limits to what she could do. And, pointing to Cameron's efforts over the years to assuage opponents of the EU, she says the road to Brexit is a textbook example of what can arise from a miscalculation. After Britons voted to leave the EU in 2016, an outcome she calls a “humiliation” for its other members, she says the question of whether she should have made more concessions to the U.K. “tortured me.” “I came to the conclusion that, in view of the political developments inside the country at the time, there would have been no acceptable possibility for me to prevent Britain's way out of the European Union from outside,” Merkel says. Merkel was the first German chancellor to leave power at a time of her choosing. She announced in 2018 that she wouldn't seek a fifth term, and says she “let go at the right point.” She points to three 2019 incidents in which her body shook during public engagements as proof. Merkel says she had herself checked thoroughly and there were no neurological or other findings. An osteopath told her that her body was letting off the tension it had accumulated over years, she adds. “Freedom” runs to more than 700 pages in its original German edition, published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch. The English edition is being released simultaneously by St. Martin's Press.

Iconoclast: Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Narrative Collapsing Jan. 6 was not “an insurrection,” but “a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed,” argues Jonathan Turley at The Hill . Nancy Pelosi’s “House Select Committee to investigate Jan. 6” pushed the narrative that it “ was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters,” but “fostered false accounts” and dismissed evidence that “confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest.” Now a new report “shows that it was the Defense Department that delayed the eventual deployment of National Guard in the critical hours of the riot.” “None of this means that Trump” is “without fault in this matter,” but “these reports only further highlight what we still do not know about that day.” From the right: Democrats Deaf to Voters “The first step to any recovery is admitting you have a problem,” argues The Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley . Yet Democrats “won’t admit that their policies are the cause.” From his “bubble,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom “ordered a special legislative session to ’Trump-proof’ California’s progressive policies, such as its electric-vehicles mandate.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul “revived a $9 tax on commuters driving into lower Manhattan” days after Trump’s win. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson “is seeking to raise taxes on homeowners” to “pay the city’s soaring pension bills.” Those “high taxes are driving off businesses and residents.” Democrats may “recognize their political problem but their solution is to pour another shot.” Culture critic: Dems’ Disconnect on Trans Debate “In a parallel universe,” snarks The Free Press’ Peter Savodnik , “progressives would be rallying around” Rep. Seth Moulton for expressing fear that trans athletes could injure his daughters in sports. Yet “in this universe,” they “hate him.” Progressives “have called him a ‘Nazi cooperator,’ ‘transphobic,’ and ‘offensive,’ ” and demanded he resign. Tuft University’s poli-sci chairman threatened to bar students from interning in his office. Moulton just sees the “disconnect between the party’s activist base and the tens of millions of voters it counts on to win national elections,” blasting those who won’t “even tolerate debate on such issues.” “The only way forward now, Moulton said, is for the Democratic Party to reclaim its liberal soul — its appetite for arguments.” Science desk: Rx for Real Science at FDA “Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University to be commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration,” notes Public’s Alex Gutentag . Makary has a “track record of standing up to the pharmaceutical industry” on opioids and other issues and was “right on key issues” during COVID, like community masking and vaccine mandates — where authorities’ errors “severely harmed trust in public health institutions.” In office, “Makary must work to depoliticize the FDA” and ensure it’s “focused on science, high-quality evidence, and thorough safety monitoring” and to end the “conflicts of interest” that are “not the exception at the FDA” but the rule, where a revolving door between the agency and big pharma operates. Only then will the FDA “function like a real regulator again.” Defense beat: NATO Unready for ‘Hybrid War’ “Russia’s hybrid-warfare model — the integration of numerous non-military means of conflict and proxy wars, backed by the threat of military force, to achieve strategic goals” — poses a huge challenge to NATO, which is organized “to deter against an invasion or nuclear attack on Europe,” warns Patrick Hess at UnHerd . Since the Ukraine war began, Moscow has employed an “escalating string” of “low-threshold, non-military and plausibly deniable tactics” against European countries. These include “sabotage and arson, GPS-signal jamming, disinformation campaigns, weaponised people-smuggling, and phone-hacking,” all “deployed to disrupt, confuse, and blur the lines between peace and wartime.” “As Europe prepares to take primary responsibility for its own security, this new order must include a coherent strategy to deal with Moscow’s hybrid threats, including how and when to respond.” — Compiled by The Post Editorial BoardIIT-ISM signs MoU with several CBSE schools in DhanbadButka had 10 rebounds for the Waves (6-7).
