The Story Australiaâs conservative gov is headed [outback](. What do you mean? On Saturday, [Australiaâs Labor Party]( sent conservative PM Scott Morrison packing â ending his four-year run. Itâs still possible Morrison's party will have a majority of the seats in parliament. But as of today, the Labor Party's Anthony Albanese has been sworn in as Australia's new PM. It comes just one day ahead of the Quad Summit in Tokyo, where Albanese will meet with US, Japanese, and Indian leaders and could discuss China's influence in the South China sea. It was just one of the many issues that had voters ticking Albanese on their ballot: Hereâs what else voters had on their minds: [Resetting Relations](: Last month, the Solomon Islands, northeast of Australia, signed a security agreement with China that would help Beijing expand its naval presence in the Western Pacific. Think: about 1,000 miles from Australia. In response, the incoming party proposed to establish a Pacific defense school to train neighboring armies. The Biden admin sees the country as a key ally in pushing back on growing Chinese assertiveness in the region. [Climate Change](: The Labor Party is promising to end the âclimate warsâ and aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by about half by 2030 and hopes to be at net-zero by 2050. Itâs a move the US has pushed the country to make. But some say thatâs still not enough. The incoming leader also hasnât answered calls to phase out coal use or to block the opening of new coal mines. theSkimm Australians have decided that the route to addressing global warming needs to be a faster one. Having a government thatâs aligned with the USâs goals is one more ally in the climate change debate.

Roe theSkimm is tracking state actions in the lead-up to a landmark Supreme Court decision expected by June or July. Hereâs the latest⦠[Louisiana](: Last week, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) sparked outrage when he said the stateâs maternal mortality rates aren't a problem...if you exclude Black women. Louisiana has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the country â where women in the state are dying at double the rate of the US average. The death rate is especially alarming for Black mothers, with four dying for every white mother. Cassidy, asked about Louisianaâs maternal mortality rate, said the state doesnât stack up so bad âif you correct our population for race.â As if Black women were outliers to be removed from the statistic. The news comes as Louisiana is one of 13 states with a [trigger law]( in place to ban abortion if abortion rights are no longer protected under federal law. [Here](âs what else is expected to happen if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Yesterday, a US military plane delivered over 70,000 pounds of prescription baby formula to Indianapolis, IN, from Europe. For weeks baby formula in the US has been scarce. Last week, the FDA, the Biden admin, and Congress all took steps to address the shortage. But the latest shipment wonât be available to everyone. The hypoallergenic Nestlé infant formula will be distributed to hospitals, doctors, and pharmacies in regions where the needs are âmost acute.â Itâs enough formula to feed 9,000 babies and 18,000 toddlers for one week. ...Oh and speaking of the shortage, the CEO of one of the four companies producing the vast majority of formula in the US is apologizing. [Abbott's CEO]( says heâs âsorryâ for letting down American families. PS: We asked the US surgeon general about the Biden admin's efforts to address the shortage. [Here's what he said](.

Yesterday, the Afghan gov began enforcing an order requiring all-female TV presenters to cover their faces while on air. The move is the latest set of restrictive laws women face since the extremist group regained control of the country last year. Two weeks ago, the gov [declared]( women could only leave home when necessary. And that they must be covered head-to-toe in public. The Taliban reportedly says the rule was âfinal and non-negotiable.â While a TV anchor reportedly said they tried to resist but were âforced to wear it."

Over the weekend, the World Health Organization said it has confirmed over 90 cases of monkeypox in 12 countries â including Spain, the UK, Portugal, and the US. The rare disease is in the same family as smallpox but is typically less severe. Different strains reportedly have varying death rates â between 1-10%. The virus is transmitted to humans from animals and spreads from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets, and even contaminated materials like bedding. The disease usually begins with flu-like symptoms (fevers, headaches, muscle aches, chills, and exhaustion). Within a few days, a rash develops on the face and spreads to the rest of the body, lasting for about two to four weeks. - [International Response](: The WHO says the response should focus on âpeople affected and their close contactsâ since it spreads mostly through sexual partners. US health officials have said monkeypox poses "no public health risk." President Biden's singing a different tune, calling the spread a cause for "concern." But says a [quarantine]( likely won't be required. His admin assured the public that the US has a vaccine (that's [85% effective]() in treating and preventing the spread of the virus.
