Morning, everyone. Queensland’s police commissioner, Katarina Carroll, fought back tears as she paid tribute to the two police officers shot dead in an ambush at a remote property west of Brisbane yesterday afternoon. Police later shot and killed two men and a woman after a siege at the property. A member of the public also died in the standoff which Anthony Albanese described as “heartbreaking”. A major investigation is under way, police said in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
