The day that was, Sunday 15 January
That’s where we will wrap up the live blog for today.
Here’s what made the news on Sunday:
The NSW premier, Dominic Perrottet, says he doesn’t remember who was at his 21st birthday party back in 2003 when he wore a Nazi uniform.
Perrottet is facing a referral to the police from Shooters and Fishers party MP Robert Borsak over an allegation he may not have disclosed the uniform incident on legally binding candidate vetting forms.
Thousands were left without power after storms overnight at Falls Creek, Victoria saw 120mm of rain falling in just over an hour.
A body found in bushland on NSW’s Central Coast is believed to be a missing 78-year-old American tourist.
The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, memorialised Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary.
I hope you have a pleasant evening, and we will be back with you again tomorrow morning.
Here’s my excellent colleague Benita Kolovos’s analysis on Victorian premier Daniel Andrews’ announcement this week that the late Cardinal George Pell would not get a state funeral.
