imageMr Shorten, who is the NDIS Minister, was asked in the House of Representatives on Thursday about the risks of delaying Labor's legislation to delay reforms to the scheme that would ultimately change the way recipients receive their allowance.

Bill Shorten has launched an extraordinary attack on the Coalition over delays to laws reforming the NDIS - one day after striking a deal with Pauline Hanson to make sure the disability insurance agency is used only by people in need. 

She penned: 'Sometimes in life you just need guidance , I see these old pics now and see such sadness , if you surround yourself with good people who want to see you win.. you can achieve anything ! I am so proud of the women I have become today , mentally strong , and physically fit And healthy ! 

'I'm pleased Minister Shorten has recognised that this has gotten out of control and is now acting to ensure NDIS money is spent on necessary disability supports rather than this all-you-can-claim buffet the scheme has become. I have been demanding this for many years.'

'Do you think that it should take eight weeks to work out if people should be able to get cuddle therapy? Of course you don't, but for whatever reason, you are taking eight weeks and a billion dollars to sort out the answer to obvious questions.'

"The Garfield Movie" and "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" battled for the top spot in North American theaters over the long US holiday weekend, but it was still a rough Memorial Day at the box office, industry estimates showed Sunday.

Ms Hanson has previously described the scheme as a scam but, speaking to Sky News, she said the NDIS was important for people who 'truly are disabled, not those ones who are ripping the guts out of it and taking money from it'.

Avantika, 19, told USA Today of her decision to take on Tarot: 'My mom was super into astrology growing up, and I grew up very much into the occult and astrology.' She added: 'Horror is my favorite genre.'

While on the red carpet, Ishana was seen crossing paths with Dakota Fanning and the pair paused for a few, memorable snaps together. At one point, the two shared a laugh during the brief photo session at the event. 

After ditching bread, pasta and cheese and cutting down on drink, she added: 'I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin, and I have a much more positive outlook, so I feel really lucky and happy.' 

A spokeswoman for Dorset Coroner's Office said: 'We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded. As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest.'

The Uptown Girls actress, 30 - who recently embraced her chic side at a photo call for the upcoming supernatural horror film - joined other celebrities on the red carpet during the screening which took place at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater. 

"The Garfield Movie," Sony's animated reboot about the lazy cat who loves lasagna, starring Chris Pratt ("Guardians of the Galaxy") as the orange feline, was expected to take $31.9 million from Friday to Monday, Exhibitor Relations said.

The movie was directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan, who is notably the daughter of critically acclaimed filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. He is known for working on movies such as The Sixth Sense (1999), Signs (2002), The Visit (2015) and Old (2021).

The premise is: 'A young artist gets stranded in an extensive, immaculate forest in western Ireland, where, after finding shelter, she becomes trapped alongside three strangers, stalked by mysterious creatures each night,' per IMDB.   

Writing alongside a black and white photograph of him in the band's heyday, they said: 'We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel. We were so lucky to have had him in our lives and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.

"Furiosa" -- the fifth installment in Australian director George Miller's "Mad Max" post-apocalyptic action series, starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the role first played in Charlize Theron -- was right behind at $31.5 million over the four-day weekend.

Fourth place went to 20th Century action sci-fi "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," at $17.1 million, and in fifth was Universal's action-comedy "The Fall Guy," starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, with $7.8 million.

The researchers suggested its possible that ancient people may have relied on past experiences to determine any omens the lunar eclipses predicted and this discovery makes these slabs the 'oldest examples of compendia of lunar-eclipse omens yet discovered.'

As for "Furiosa," Gross called it "a weak opening for Mad Max's 5th episode," adding that though it was well received by critics and audiences, the prequel paled at the box office in comparison to "Mad Max: Fury Road," which starred Theron.

In third place at $21 million was Paramount's animated feature "If," which stars Cailey Fleming as a young girl who, along with neighbor Ryan Reynolds, embarks on an adventure to reconnect forgotten made-up playmates with their children.
