Top stories The government's $23.5bn "Gonski 2.0" schools funding package passed the Senate in the early hours of the morning by 34 votes to 31 But Australian states say they will face budget nightmares after proposals from minor parties in the Senate that states be tied to certain public education funding goals. Queensland has said that over six years it will have to find up to $1bn extra and the Northern Territory government has warned it currently falls $80m short of the new requirement. "Queensland taxpayers will be forced to foot the bill," warns the state's education minister, and other states are equally unhappy about the unilateral nature of the plan. In selling the benefits of the deal on Wednesday, crossbencher Nick Xenophon said the amendment would "ensure states have to do their share of heavy lifting and not shirk their responsibilities". The amendments to the Gonski 2.0 package include an extra $4.9bn to speed the delivery of needs-based funding from 10 years to six. Theresa May has made a "fair and serious offer" to European Union leaders over the contentious issue of the future rights of EU citizens, offering those who arrive lawfully before Brexit the chance to build up the same rights to work, healthcare and benefits as UK citizens. Speaking at the end of a dinner at an EU leaders' summit in Brussels, after formal Brexit talks kicked off on Monday, May set out the UK's opening offer on the rights of EU citizens – an issue both sides have said they would like to be resolved early in the talks. Meanwhile farms across the country are critically short of pickers after a 20% shortfall in migrants this season, whose labour is essential to farms getting their crop in on time and in the best condition. The shortage is being blamed on Brexit making the UK seem "xenophobic" Pauline Hanson is refusing to apologise for saying autistic and disabled children should be taken out of mainstream schools because they took time away from other children. Education experts were quick to condemn Hanson's comments but she says they were taken out of context and she is the victim of political point-scoring. Which city can lay claim to being "Australia's refugee capital"? Resettlement tsar Dr Peter Shergold says it's Fairfield, in Sydney's south west, which has had a 500% increase in its resettlement rate, accepting more than 7,000 humanitarian migrants. And the success with which they have been welcomed within the community creates a blueprint for the rest of Australia, though greater government support and funding is needed. The global illicit drug market is "thriving" according the a new UN report, owing largely to increasing levels of heroin and cocaine being produced. Global seizures of synthetic amphetamine-type stimulants also reached a five year high in 2015, at the same time as coco bush cultivation (used to make cocaine) increased by 30%, in response to increased demand for the drug in Europe and North America. Opioids remained the most harmful drug type and accounted for 70% of drug use disorders worldwide. At a school in Exeter, England, boys wore skirts in protest at not being allowed to wear shorts during a heatwave. Correspondent Steven Morris writes: "Some had borrowed from girlfriends, others from sisters. A few had gone the extra mile and shaved their legs. When the Isca academy opened on Thursday morning, about 30 boys arrived for lessons, heads held high, in fetching tartan-patterned skirts. The hottest June days since 1976 had led to a bare-legged revolution at the secondary school in Exeter." Sport Australia have drawn 1-1 with Cameroon in the second match of the confederation Cup in St Petersburg, leaving the Socceroos on the brink of a group stage exit. Australia were a little more solid than they appeared in their game against Germany, but there are still some fairly glaring holes in their setup. Australia's next game is with Chile in Moscow on Sunday, with victory not necessarily enough to see them progress to the semi-finals. The success of the AFLW's first season has led to a grassroots football revolution with far-reaching consequences in rural and suburban areas, writes Russell Jackson. Thinking time Séamus Jabour in a RompHim.

Any plus sides? Not really. "Several people implored me to never wear it again" Jabour writes. "And pleaded with me to take it off immediately." Guardian Australia's columnist Greg Jericho writes about Pauline Hanson's comments on autistic children in mainstream schools. "My initial reaction was contempt. It's a common response to most anything Hanson says and when it is related to children with a disability, as a parent of such a child, my reaction is even more swift," Jericho writes. He works through Hanson's arguments, attempting to give her the benefit of the doubt, Jericho concludes: "Children with a disability are not holding anyone back and are certainly not to blame for the ills – real or imagined – of our education system. Senator Hanson deserves to be held in contempt for insinuating such a thing." At the Hotel Coolgardie, in Western Australia, racism and sexism are the order of the day, in this revealing and unsettling new documentary, reviewed by Luke Buckmaster. It's a premise right out of Wake in Fright: a pair of penniless down-on-their-luck foreigners arrive in a backwater Australian town located in the middle of sun-baked, dirt-slathered, sweat-stained nowhere. And then – they meet the locals. What's he done now? Donald Trump has tweeted that he does not have secret recordings of his conversations with former FBI chief James Comey, contradicting an earlier tweet on 12 May suggesting that secret recordings could have been made. "With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea … whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings." Trump tweeted. Media roundup The Australian reports that health reforms could force pharmacists to separate complementary medicines from other drugs in chemist shops to ensure consumers do not mistake their evidence base or efficacy for that of more potent formulas. The Canberra Times details the moving story of Vietnamese refugee Rohan Samara, who came to Australia in a cardboard box as a baby, and 40 years later is still looking for his parents The ABC reports in-depth on Gonski 2.0 and Pauline Hanson's comments on children with disabilities. They also have a story on medicinal cannabis oil being used to treat pets with terminal cancer. Coming up Greg Hunt, Michael Sukkar and Alan Tudge will appear in the Victorian supreme court, where they are expected to apologise to avoid potential contempt of court charges. An Australian medicinal cannabis symposium will be held in Melbourne. Speakers include Labor leader Bill Shorten, Greens leader Richard Di Natale, and Victorian health minister Jill Hennessey.
