Thursday Headlines: Harvey Weinstein found guilty in #MeToo sex crime retrial, Pentagon reviewing AUKUS to ensure ‘America First’, PM & politicians to get big pay rise, most sunscreen brands not meeting SPF claims, and one of Australia’s most famous families are at war with Queensland MP Bob Katter.
