Summarization
Paul Sakkal is covering a story about a gambling donation to a Liberal Party Minister with The Sydney Morning Herald, and is also exploring potentially increasing political biases on the part of The Herald Sun due to the potential selection of the paper's national politics editor's wife as the Liberal Party candidate in the Aston by-election. In addition to this, Alan Tudge is quititing politics and there is momentum growing for a multicultural female candidate to replace him. There is also criticism of the Australian Federal Police for allegedly taking away basic rights, and of Angus Taylor for not alerting people about the potential price increase of energy.

| 1625682383222771717 | @paulsakkal That's not surprising. Roshena's husband is national politics editor for The Herald Sun and they've been a quasi part of the campaign team for Josh and the Liberals generally in Kooyong and Hawthorn, so it makes sense. I look forward to Roshena's spread in the Herald Sun. https://t.co/VKVPerV4yD | 84 |
| 1625697726599159809 | @Aaronsmith333 @paulsakkal James Campbell- Herald Sun leader- wife is Roshena who is seeking to win Aston for the Liberal Party.
