Albanese held undeclared honorary membership to Marrickville Golf Club promised $6m

The undeclared membership links the prime minister directly to a local organisation that received a major election pledge.

Clarke hits century as Notts recover to 377 against Hampshire

Joe Clarke scored 105 as Nottinghamshire recovered from a shaky 20-3 to post 377 on the first day against Hampshire. The century anchored a strong middle-order response that pulled the title hopefuls back into the contest after an early collapse. BBC Sport reported Clarke’s hundred helped Nottinghamshire steady their innings and compile a competitive first-day total. The 377 gives the visitors a solid platform in the match and a boost to their aspirations in the title race. Nottinghamshire’s recovery from 20-3 to a three-figure lead on day one will put pressure on Hampshire going into the next session, with the match situation now favouring the side that posted the larger score.
