Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the nation needs to stop looking for areas in which "we can be outraged". With Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia not to acknowledge Australia Day at the Gabba Test or the Australian Open on Friday, Albanese refused to back calls by NSW Premier Chris Minns for the two sporting bodies to reconsider their decision. Opposition leader Peter Dutton says Albanese needs to stand up as the leader of our country and tell Cricket Australia and other "corporate wokes" that we should be celebrating Australia Day, while Nationals Leader David Littleproud says it is not the job of sporting codes to "set the moral compass".
