Australia news live: Hanson ‘not the person I thought she was’, Hastie says; Labor defends ‘opt out’ push for social media algorithms

Australian markets were largely unaffected by the ongoing feud between politicians Andrew Hastie and Pauline Hanson. The dispute centers around a cartoon video released by One Nation that labeled Hastie a "traitor" for testifying against Ben Roberts-Smith in a defamation trial. This controversy is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Australian economy or markets, such as the ASX 200 or the All Ordinaries Index. The focus remains on domestic politics rather than economic indicators.
