Good morning. It’s 20 years since the Bali bombings killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. To mark the occasion, Anthony Albanese will make a speech denouncing the terrorists for “an act of malice and calculated depravity” while vowing never to let the memories of the victims fade.

Nearly 200,000 Australians will have their robodebt reviews wiped as the federal government scraps investigations. The social services minister, Amanda Rishworth, confirmed her department wouldn’t continue investigations. “The robodebt fiasco is something that should be of deep concern to all Australians,” she said. “It was meant to save money, however we know it had a significant human cost.”
