The legal fights between Disney and Gov. Ron DeSantis ratcheted up this week. The Florida governor asked that the company's First Amendment lawsuit against him be tossed from federal court. And Disney demanded documents, emails, texts and other communications from the governor's office in a separate state court lawsuit against Walt Disney World's governing district controlled by DeSantis appointees. The fight started last year when Disney publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades.

The Albanese Government is today releasing draft legislation on the announced change to superannuation tax concessions to make the system fairer and more sustainable. This modest adjustment to apply after the next election will affect only a handful of people. The 0.5 per cent of people with superannuation balances above $3 million will still receive tax breaks, just slightly less generous. The remaining 99.5 per cent of Australians with superannuation accounts are not affected at all. The change will not alter the amounts of money people can put into super, and it applies to future earnings - it's not retrospective.
