Shoppers fled in panic as the heavily-armed gunmen attacked the mall at midday on Saturday (local time), and photos from inside showed bloodied bodies sprawled on the floor. Up to 10 gunmen are now believed to be barricaded inside a supermarket and exchanging fire with security forces. France confirmed two of its citizens had been killed, and there are reports of Americans being injured, but there is no indication that any Australians have been hurt. The attack appeared designed to achieve maximum global impact by targeting a place frequented by Westerners as well as Kenyans. Kenya's president Uhuru Kenyatta said some of his relatives were among the slain, and vowed to bring the attackers to justice.

Party databases and resources are being used to promote one candidate over another. I have my own message: can the party machine please stay out of what is meant to be a "rank and file" election? There are cogent reasons for and against voting for either Bill Shorten or Anthony Albanese. But the point is, please leave us to make the decision, unpressured and without factionalism for our half of the ballot.
