What we learned: Sunday, 5 May
That’s a wrap on this rainy Sunday. Here’re the news highlights:
Police say an alleged stabbing in Western Australia “has all the hallmarks” of a terrorist incident. The 16-year-old allegedly called police to say he was “going to commit acts of violence”, the commissioner said.
Jason Clare has called for the community to “lower the temperature” amid university Gaza protests.
He also hinted at further cost-of-living relief for university students in the upcoming budget.
Only about 30 of the promised 500 domestic violence support workers have been delivered so far, Katy Gallagher said.
And finally, there’s rain, rain and more rain in parts of NSW – and more on the way.
We’ll be back blogging again tomorrow – see you then.
