Good morning. An investigation is underway after footage circulating on social media showed the violent arrest of an Aboriginal man with a disability in New South Wales. A video shows the 18-year-old being walked along a driveway by an officer in Taree before stumbling and falling to the ground, where he begins having a seizure. A second clip shows the teenager – handcuffed – being violently thrown to the ground by the officer.

Meanwhile, Labor is seeking to ward off widespread dissent over the Aukus nuclear submarine deal at its national party conference in Brisbane.
