Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AUSTRALIA defeated South Africa 28-20 to square the three-match series 1-1 in Brisbane yesterday. The match was marred by the sending- off of James Small for dissent late in the game. Small, the first South African to be dismissed in an international, received his marching orders from the English referee, Ed Morrison, late in the game. Jason Little scored two of Australia's three tries and his fellow centre, Tim Horan, the other as the home side recovered from being 10-3 down after only 10 minutes. The deciding match is in Sydney next weekend.
