Good morning. Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a series of intense airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon is “not the end of the story”. The two sides have exchanged their heaviest fire since the Gaza conflict began, giving rise to renewed fears of a dramatic escalation of hostilities.
At home, the Albanese government is releasing its much-anticipated aviation white paper outlining reforms to boost protection for air passengers. One proposal is a new ombudsman that could force airlines to pay cash compensation for disrupted flights.
