Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Qantas said the delay was caused mainly by identifying the size of foreign-owned stakes held by Australian nominee companies.

It said it had sent out some 70 notices Monday to nominees requiring them to provide details of relevant interests in Qantas shares. "A significant proportion of replies have not yet been received. It not possible for Qantas to reconcile the actual level of foreign ownership until all these replies are received. As a result, Qantas is not yet in a position to advise the level of foreign ownership."Qantas shares closed 3 cents higher at A$2.11.
