“The Cubans came to Little Havana when the revolution came into Cuba,” Llaguna said. “They settled in this neighborhood, so they had a new beginning in Little Havana.”
While Labor prime ministers allocate the ministerial portfolios, the party’s factional leaders pick the 30 lawmakers who will get them based on the proportion of seats each faction won.The factional leaders dropped former Industry and Science Minister Husic, who was born in Sydney to Bosnian Muslim immigrants, and former Attorney-General
Husic, who after the 2022 election became Australia’s first federal minister to be sworn into office on a Quran, told Australian Broadcasting Corp. on Sunday that Albanese should have intervened to keep him and Dreyfus in Cabinet.Husic said his demotion was in part punishment for his views on how Israel has waged war in Gaza.“I think it’s been a factor in there. Would I do things differently? I don’t think so,” Husic told ABC.
“You can’t celebrate diversity and then expect it to sit in a corner and be silent. You need to speak up … for the communities that you care about,” Husic added.Albanese did not directly answer when asked whether he had fought for either Husic or Dreyfus to remain in Cabinet.
“We have a process in the Labor Party caucus. You’ve been watching it for some time,” Albanese told reporters.
Albanese said he had a ”constructive discussion” with Husic on Monday morning.“This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most peoples’ living memory,” Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said.
He said the fires have forced 17,000 people across several communities to flee.“The military is being called for help here because of the sheer scale of the 17,000 folks that we move relatively quickly,” Kinew said. “I’m happy to say that Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed with the request.”
The emergency declaration helps officials to safely transport evacuees and provide shelter.The Manitoba city of Flin Flon earlier ordered all 5,000 residents to leave due to an approaching wildfire. Residents were told they should flee south with their essentials and aim to be out by midnight. It had already begun sending out high-needs hospital patients.
