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 will seek the views of Aborigines before deciding whether to accept a British offer of compensation over nuclear tests in the desert during the 1950s, Reuter reports from Canberra.
Aborigines native to the Maralinga test area in South Australia would be asked their opinion before the cabinet decided whether to accept Britain's offer or go to court, a government spokesman said. Aborigines have demanded full compensation for the loss of their land near the test site.
