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.AUSTRALIA have made one change to their team to face South Africa in the second Test in Brisbane on Saturday. The former Fijian back row forward, Ilie Tabua, now of Queensland, has been brought in for his debut in place of Warwick Waugh, the New South Wales lock. However, Tabua must pass a fitness test on an injured hamstring and the New South Wales flanker, Michael Brial, has been put on standby.
