The Senate has voted 31 to 20 to expand the eSafety Commissioner’s enforcement powers for Australia’s under-16 social media ban.
People relevant to an investigation could be summoned to private examinations, questioned under oath and compelled to produce documents or answer questions. Refusing to comply without a reasonable excuse can carry up to 12 months in prison.
Labor, the Greens, David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie backed the bill. Liberals, Nationals, One Nation, Jacinta Price and Fatima Payman opposed it.

Marrickville Golf Club, in Anthony Albanese’s electorate, was awarded $6.05 million through Labor’s invitation-only infrastructure grants program. Albanese also held an honorary membership of the club that was not listed on his register of interests.
The club was reportedly the only golf club invited to apply, while almost three-quarters of the $560 million program went to Labor-held electorates and 45 electorates received nothing.

An 18-year-old alleged drone operator has been charged with murder over the killing of Joshua Macdonald, 40, an innocent electrician mistakenly gunned down outside a Merrylands West home on September 2.
Macdonald had arrived with two young children when gunmen in a stolen grey Audi opened fire. His family says he shielded the children as shots were fired. Police sources say the intended target was a member of the Alameddine crime family linked to the property.
Police arrested the teenager in West Hoxton on Friday and seized a drone which they allege contained evidence linking him to the killing. He has been charged with murder and participating in a criminal group and was refused bail.

Australia’s 10-year government bond yield has surged above 5.3%, its highest level since May 2011.
Wall Street strategists have previously described around 5% on the US 10-year as the point where markets can “start to break”. The US yield is now also hovering just below that level.
Higher yields flow through to mortgages, business borrowing and asset prices as investors demand greater returns to lend money.

The AFP says the alleged network shared graphic extremist material including beheadings, shootings and bombings.

Pauline Hanson has unveiled a three-year immigration “reset” that would cut more than 750,000 temporary migrants and unlawful non-citizens, mainly targeting international students, graduate visas, skilled-worker dependants and bridging visas.
Under the plan, Australia would temporarily move to net-negative migration, before net overseas migration is capped at 130,000 a year. People living in Australia unlawfully would be given three months to leave voluntarily or face enforcement and a potential lifetime re-entry ban.

Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher have appointed former Liberal opposition leader Sussan Ley to the board of the government-owned Snowy Hydro.
Ley resigned from Parliament in February after losing the Liberal leadership. Just seven months later, she has now been handed a board role by the Albanese government.
For everyone who keeps talking about a “uniparty”, this one probably won’t help.

Professor Robert Breunig, a migration expert who sits on the Albanese government’s Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee, has backed parts of One Nation’s new immigration policy.
Breunig supports cracking down on visa-hopping and reducing low-quality international student intake, even as Labor attacks One Nation’s broader plan to cut the temporary migrant population by around 750,000 over three years.

One Nation says it is open to cutting Australia’s permanent family visa intake, including visas used to bring partners and dependent children into the country.
MP David Farley says the number should depend on whether Australia has enough housing, healthcare and education infrastructure to support further population growth.
It comes after One Nation unveiled plans to cut temporary migration by roughly 750,000 over three years, with its full immigration strategy due within the next fortnight.
