Tobacco giant blocked from selling heated cigarette substitute in Australia

Efforts by tobacco giant Philip Morris to introduce a smoke-free cigarette alternative to Australia have been blocked by an interim decision from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

Key points:
Philip Morris says smokers will be disappointed over a decision to block the sale of a cigarette substitute
Therapeutic Goods Administration says Heated Tobacco Products don't help people quit smoking
A health expert has applauded the decision but thinks the company will keep trying to bring HTPs into the market
Yesterday the TGA rejected a request by the company to reschedule nicotine under a law that would have helped get its heated tobacco products (HTPs) onto Australian shelves.

Heated tobacco products are marketed as less harmful alternatives to smoking because the tobacco is not ignited, but scientists say not enough is known to declare them safe to use.

Warnings Australia's first recession in 29 years could stoke anti-immigration attitudes

Why Australian rugby will look back on the COVID-19 crisis as its saviour

COVID-19 has seen rugby union in Australia fall to its knees and the professional element of the game crash to the brink of oblivion.

But might it have saved the game in Australia too?

Not too dissimilar to when Paul Keating told Australians in late 1990 that "this is the recession we had to have", professional rugby has long needed a complete overhaul in Australia to move with the times.

Yet, it's taken a recession for Rugby Australia to take the bull by the horns.

Australia-New Zealand flights set for likely September start

The trans-Tasman travel bubble is taking shape but New Zealand has moved to smack down a push for flights to begin in July, with NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern saying that September is a more realistic timeframe.

Australian and New Zealand chambers of commerce proposed launching flights between Canberra and Wellington as a "proof of concept" and Canberra Airport this week asked would-be travellers to register their interest in flights on the capital city corridor for July 1 and July 2 – despite no airlines having signed up to run the route.

Air New Zealand quickly discounted the idea, with a spokesperson saying the Kiwi carrier "is not proposing Tasman operations until such time that the Tasman borders are open, and only with the support of governments on both sides."

Key points:
Concerns have been raised over the treatment of Indigenous women in Australia's legal system
A 2017 report found the imprisonment rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women skyrocketed 148 per cent since 1991
A North Queensland legal service says Indigenous women are disproportionately victims of violence, not just from police but also within the prison system
The Yuin woman and Aboriginal rights activist said Indigenous women were still experiencing the same horrors in the Australian criminal justice system as they did in the 1970s.

"What's happening in America is no different to what's happening here in Australia right now," Ms Roach said.

The death of George Floyd at the hands of police in the United States last week has sparked protests in Australia about the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in custody.

Why did Tanya Day die?

10 things you need to know this morning in Australia

Hello, and welcome to the long weekend. Just a few more hours and we're home.

1. The response to the government's $680 million HomeBuilder scheme has been... mixed, to put it lightly. Yes, the construction and property industry are happy about it, but elsewhere it has faced criticism. “Anyone able to start this kind of large-scale renovation by the end of the year either already has their finance lined up and hasn’t suffered an income cut during this crisis that would make them reconsider, or has the cash to do it without borrowing,” Emma Dawson, executive director of progressive think tank Per Capita, wrote for The Guardian.
