Good morning. The minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, will today lay out a plan for the referendum on the Indigenous voice. Tributes have been paid to the five teenagers who died in a horrific crash in Sydney as police charged the driver of the car they were in. And the Albanese government has cancelled a grant to a foundation backed by the governor general.

The day after five teenagers lost their lives in a horror single-car crash in Buxton, about 100km south-west of Sydney, students, family and friends visited the site to pay tribute to those who died, with one describing what happened as “unfathomable”. The teenagers – aged 14 to 16 – died on Tuesday night in a ute allegedly driven by an 18-year-old who survived. The alleged driver has been charged by police.
