“It has been clear for Nokia since the early days of the invasion of Ukraine that continuing our presence in Russia would not be possible,” Chief Executive Officer Pekka Lundmark said on Twitter.

Finnish 5G gear maker Nokia Oyj plans to exit the Russian market in response to the invasion of Ukraine and the full-scale war Russia is waging.

Over the last weeks Nokia had suspended deliveries and stopped new business, it said in a statement on Tuesday. It’s also moving its “limited” research and development activities out of Russia.

“It has been clear for Nokia since the early days of the invasion of Ukraine that continuing our presence in Russia would not be possible,” Nokia’s chief executive Pekka Lundmark said on Twitter.

The decision follows Swedish rival Ericsson AB’s announcement on Monday of an “indefinite” suspension of business there.

“$20.33 is my understanding as to what it is based on the last decision,” Cash told Sheldon, who then answered the question about the casual rate for her (it’s $25.41).

Earlier today Employment Minister Stuart Robert momentary drew a blank when he was asked about the JobSeeker rate on Sky News, before answering that it was about $640 a fortnight. For a single person, it’s $642.70 a fortnight.

Correction: An earlier version of this post stated Stuart Robert correctly said the weekly JobSeeker payment was about $640. Robert said the fortnightly payment was about $640 (it is $642.70).

“We need to make sure we’re also thinking about areas such as rent assistance and the adequacy of social housing. It’s that whole package.”

The current maximum fortnightly rate for JobSeeker is $642.70 for a single person without children. It nearly doubled with an increase of $550 a fortnight during the early stages of the pandemic in a federal government bid to keep the economy afloat.

In February last year, the federal government announced it would increase the base JobSeeker rate by $25 a week, while removing the pandemic supplement.

In 2020 Labor social services spokeswoman Linda Burney told the Australian Financial Review the party wanted JobSeeker to increase “well above” its pre-pandemic level of $40 a day and Labor would announce the actual figure before the election. But by February last year, Burney would not say if that commitment stood.

On Tuesday, Leigh said Labor did not have a plan for an independent review of income support rates.

“We don’t have a plan for an independent review at this stage,” he said.

ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie said the community services sector would continue to push for fairer income support rates.

“There is such broad consensus across the community sector about the need to fix the adequacy of income support,” she said at the election forum.

“In particular JobSeeker as a key cause of the level of poverty that’s being experienced, including, for example, single parents, older women, people with a disability.”

Maddie Sheedy, President of the Melbourne University Women’s Football Club, said up to 10 per cent of the roughly 120 players at the club identified as transgender or gender diverse.

The club operates in the Victorian Amateur Football Association which allows transwomen to play in the women’s competition and transmen to compete in the men’s competition. Sheedy said her club was working with the VAFA to formalise guidelines, but said there already was a provision in place for testosterone testing if required.

“It’s just a shame that [transplayers’] rights and opportunities are so publicly discussed. We see them come to training and sit there and go, ‘God, it’s been another hard day’,” she said.

“Hopefully, there’s more clubs that will speak out and speak openly. Nobody wants to see their teammates go through this.”

Beth Cook, spokeswoman for the West Brunswick Football Club, said her club had a no-questions-asked rule about gender inclusion.

“We’re pretty vocal about our support and the fact that we are an inclusive and progressive club. So I think that people tend to work out pretty quickly what we’re about and decide if we’re the right fit [for them],” she said.

She said her club did not hold concerns about differences in strength and fairness in its women’s teams.

“We just welcome people in and train people the skills and how to tackle safely and be tackled safely, and how to protect yourself,” she said.

“We welcome and embrace anyone from the LGBTI+ community at our club, including trans and gender diverse players and don’t support legislation that seeks to exclude or dehumanise or not accept them in any form.”

Netball Australia and Cricket Australia also hosed down the campaign on Tuesday, stating they had not received any consultation from the government about the proposed bill.

“Cricket Australia has a number of policies in place to ensure cricket is a game that all people can play, including our Trans & Gender Diverse Policies for community and elite cricket,” a spokesman said.aid.

A spokeswoman for Netball Australia said, “sport must be inclusive for all people – regardless of background, race or gender.”

The AFL, Cricket Australia, Tennis Australia, Football Australia, Rugby Australia and Athletics Australia have all previously confirmed to the Herald and The Age there had been no contact from the senator or Morrison government representatives before the bill was tabled.
