Singapore's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, said an incentive provided to Taylor Swift to make Singapore the only stop in south-east Asia on her world tour was not a hostile act towards its neighbours. ‘It has turned out to be a very successful arrangement. I don't see that as being unfriendly,’ Lee said. Swift is currently part way through six sold-out shows in Singapore, her only stop in south-east Asia. #TaylorSwift #Singapore #SingaporeTSTheErasTour

“You have not answered the question Mr Banducci. Honestly, I’m not interested in your spin or bulls***.” The Greens senator Nick McKim, who is chairing the Senate inquiry into supermarket practices, told Brad Banducci he may be held in contempt after the Woolworths chief executive declined to disclose the company’s return on equity, an important gauge of profitability, amid claims the company price gouges customers and unfairly puts pressure on suppliers. “I also feel compelled to advise you that that opens up a range of sanctions, personal sanctions that can be applied against you if that’s what the Senate decides to do,” the senator said. #Woolworths #supermarkets #Australianews

Seven members of a food aid charity have been killed in an Israeli strike in central Gaza, according to their organisation. World Central Kitchen (WCK) said in a statement on Tuesday morning that foreign nationals were among those killed. The workers from the UK, Australia, Poland, Palestine, as well as a dual citizen of the US and Canada, were travelling in two armoured cars branded with the charity’s logo, according to WCK. Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese named the Australian national killed as Zomi Frankcom, and called her work “extraordinarily important”. The Guardian has sought comment from British and Polish authorities. “Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” WCK said in its statement. 📸: Reuters/AFP/Getty Images/EPA/World Central Kitchen #Aid #Gaza #Israel #IsraelGazaWar
