Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest person, is lending a hand to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price in her fight against defamation allegations brought by the chief executive officer of the Central Land Council.
The mining mogul’s donation is among hundreds of donations to Nampijinpa Price’s legal battle that were declared on the senator’s interests register on Friday, and first reported by Crikey.
As just reported, Marco Rubio warned Hamas today that it only has days to accept a ceasefire deal amid Israel’s bombardment of Gaza City.
“Our number one choice is that this ends through a negotiated settlement where Hamas says, ‘We’re going to demilitarise, we’re no longer going to pose a threat,’” the US secretary of state told reporters as he flew out of Israel to go to Qatar.
Julianne Moore says she likes to fit in “a little bit of work” even on her off days.
“Maybe I shoot something, or I’m working on a script, or I’m learning something,” she said.
The Oscar-winning actor says she prioritizes her health as she ages, partly because of her family.
Julianne Moore, 64, says she can’t resist working even on her rest days.
In an interview with People published on Sunday, the Oscar-winning actor spoke about her ideal day off.
“I like a little of everything,” Moore told People. “A perfect day is not having to get up too early and drink my coffee, and read the news and answer my emails.”
Her ideal day off would also include some time for yoga, a meal with her family, and unwinding with a show she enjoys before bed, she said.
Even though her schedule already seems packed, Moore says she still tries to carve out time for “a little bit of work” to stay engaged.
“Maybe I shoot something, or I’m working on a script, or I’m learning something,” she said.
Moore says she tries to take better care of her health now that she’s older.
“When you’re younger, you don’t think about much at all. I mean, you really feel impervious to everything, and to anything health and wellness related,” she said. “But I think, the more life you’ve accrued, the more precious it becomes.”
Moore, who has two children with her husband, film director Bart Freundlich, added that she also has family to consider.
“You have more people that you’re taking care of, you have more people that you love, and you realize that you depend on your body, and if something goes wrong with your body, then it really affects your function,” she said.
Moore has talked about aging before. In a 2021 interview with As If magazine, she said it’s “sexist” to say that a woman is “aging gracefully.”
“Is there an ungraceful way to age? We don’t have an option, of course. No one has an option about aging, so it’s not a positive or a negative thing, it just is,” she said.
A representative for Moore did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
As conversations around wellness and aging evolve, we should also rethink what work-life balance means, Veronica West, a psychologist, told Business Insider in 2024.
“It used to mean dividing work time and personal time into neat, equal slices,” West said. “But let’s be honest, life rarely plays nice like that.”
Instead, it might be more helpful to think of it as “work-life rhythm,” West said. “The trick is learning how to balance energy, not just time, so you’re surviving and enjoying each part of your day.”
Engaging in purposeful work can help protect cognitive abilities even as we age, Karen Glaser, a professor of gerontology at King’s College London, told Business Insider in 2024.
Ben Meyers and Fabrizio Villatoro, researchers at LongeviQuest, told Business Insider in 2023 that one common trait among the over 1,000 centenarians they’ve met is working hard well into old age.
Earlier this year, several 80-something Americans told Business Insider that they continue working past retirement, not for money, but for the sense of fulfillment and social connection it brings.
Colombia’s Leadership Shifts Focus Amid U.S. Decertification in Drug War
Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced on Monday that the country’s Armed Forces will cease reliance on U.S. weaponry, following Washington’s decision to decertify Colombia in its drug-fighting efforts, reports 24brussels.
During a televised cabinet meeting, Petro proclaimed, “The Colombian Army and its Armed Forces’ dependence on U.S. weaponry is over. No more handouts or gifts. They already decertified us, that’s the decision. The Colombian Army will do better if it buys its weapons or makes them with our own resources, because otherwise it will not be an army of national sovereignty.” His remarks reflect a significant shift in military policy as tensions with the U.S. rise.
The president sharply criticized the U.S. decision, arguing that his administration had achieved record cocaine seizures and that the decertification was politically motivated. He stated, “Colombia’s right-wing sympathizers, who are actually tied to drug trafficking, influenced U.S. officials by appealing to ideology rather than measurable results.” This assertion underscores Colombia’s internal challenges in the ongoing battle against drug trafficking.
In response to Petro’s comments, his administration highlighted recent achievements in combating drug trafficking. Colombian authorities reported that in 2024, security forces seized 889 tons of cocaine, marking a historic record for the nation. Police Director General Carlos Fernando Triana emphasized that these results position Colombia among the leaders in global drug interdiction.
The U.S. certification process, which has been in effect since 1986, evaluates the counter-narcotics performance of approximately twenty drug-producing nations. This year, the Trump administration opted to decertify Colombia, claiming that Bogotá had “blatantly failed” to meet its international commitments. Despite this, Washington reiterated its intention to maintain aid to Colombia, describing the partnership as “vital to U.S. national interests.”
Petro, however, sought to diminish the implications of the decertification, insisting that it “comes without sanctions” and that its true impact should be assessed over time. The situation highlights the complex dynamics of U.S.-Colombian relations, particularly regarding drug policy.

Australia and Papua New Guinea will agree to defend each other in the event of a military attack, part of a landmark defence agreement due to be signed on the sidelines of celebrations to commemorate the country’s independence this week.
Anthony Albanese and PNG’s defence minister, Billy Joseph, both downplayed a delay to the deal being formalised, insisting the plan known as a Pukpuk treaty won’t affect sovereignty in the former Australian colony.
