The Epoch Times: 'Down but Never Out': Dutton Rallies Party As Senator Van Resigns

Senator David Van resigns from the Liberal Party after being expelled due to allegations of inappropriate behavior towards female colleagues. Van denied the accusations but resigned due to the party's lack of due process. The allegations include harassment and sexual assault, and the Liberal Party suspended all support for Van after the accusations were brought forward.

The Australian Government has introduced a grant for the "Women in Public Office" program, aiming to boost gender equality and diversity in Australian politics. Women for Election Australia will receive $5 million to equip and encourage more women to enter politics. The move follows accusations of harassment and assault in the Australian parliament, with Senator David Van resigning from the Liberal Party due to allegations of misconduct towards female colleagues. The statistics show that one out of every five women in Australia will be sexually assaulted or raped in their lifetime.

The New American: Juneteenth: What Is It All About? - The New American

Juneteenth, the newest federal holiday, is observed on June 19 to celebrate the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of slavery in the United States. However, the holiday has been criticized for its historical inaccuracy and political motivations, as Democrats pander to black voters and Republicans avoid accusations of racism. The holiday's official name of Juneteenth National Independence Day has also been criticized for needlessly dividing the country along racial lines, with some suggesting "Emancipation Day" as a unifying alternative.

While many believe that the Civil War was fought to end slavery, it was actually fought over the issue of states' rights and secession. President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was a desperate attempt to prevent Britain and France from supporting the Confederacy. The legal end of slavery came with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in December 1865, months after Juneteenth, which marks the day that federal troops implemented the Emancipation Proclamation and General Gordon Granger announced the end of the Civil War and the freedom of slaves in Galveston, Texas. Despite its historical inaccuracies and political motivations, the end of slavery in the United States is a cause for celebration, but it should not detract from the principles of liberty enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.
