Australia to quarantine six people from hantavirus‑hit cruise ship

Australian authorities will place six people evacuated from a hantavirus hit cruise ship into a purpose built quarantine facility north of Perth for a minimum of three weeks. The six passengers, five Australians and one New Zealander, are being flown home on a government charter after weeks aboard the MV Hondius, a Dutch flagged luxury expedition ship linked to a cluster of deadly hantavirus infections. Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said the group will be taken directly from their aircraft to the Bullsbrook quarantine centre, near RAAF Base Pearce, and kept away from the general public throughout their stay. None of the six currently shows symptoms of hantavirus, but officials describe the move as a “precautionary approach” given the virus’s long incubation period, which can stretch up to six to eight weeks. During quarantine, the passengers will undergo regular health […]

Australia mourns death of Aboriginal girl

Emotions were intense across Australia as communities gathered to honour a five-year-old Aboriginal girl whose death in the Northern Territory has shocked the nation. The child, now referred to as Kumanjayi Little Baby in line with Aboriginal cultural practices, was found dead on 30 April near Alice Springs, several days after she disappeared from the Old Timers Camp, an Aboriginal town camp where her family lived. During a candlelight vigil held in Alice Springs, a message from the girl’s mother was read aloud to mourners. “My heart is broken into a million pieces,” the statement said. “She was my little princess. My princess who loved the colour pink.” The grieving mother spoke about her daughter’s love for cartoons including Bluey and Masha and the Bear, as well as music from Bruno Mars and K-pop artists. She also described how the […]

Australia arrests women linked to Islamic State

Three women linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have been arrested after returning to Australia following years spent in detention camps in Syria. Australian authorities confirmed that the women, all Australian citizens, arrived with a group that also included nine children. Kawsar Abbas, 53, and Zeinab Ahmed, 31, were arrested upon arrival in Melbourne, while Janai Safar, 32, was taken into custody after landing in Sydney. A fourth woman travelling with the group was not arrested. The return of the women has reignited political debate in Australia over how to handle former IS members and their families who remained stranded in Syria after the collapse of the so-called caliphate in 2019. Australian officials said the government did not arrange the repatriation but had long prepared for the possibility of their return. The children, believed to be between six years […]

Australian soldier denies war crime charges

Ben Roberts-Smith, widely regarded as Australia’s most decorated living soldier, has publicly denied all allegations against him after being charged with multiple war crimes. In his first statement since the charges were filed, the former member of the Special Air Service Regiment said he remains “proud of my service in Afghanistan” and is determined to clear his name. The 47-year-old faces five charges related to alleged murders of unarmed Afghan detainees between 2009 and 2012. Roberts-Smith was arrested at Sydney Airport on 7 April and later released on bail. He described the arrest as a “sensational” and “unnecessary spectacle,” declining to take questions from the media. He added that although he did not want the charges to be brought, he would use the legal process as an opportunity to prove his innocence. Prosecutors allege that he was directly involved in […]

Australia police kill fugitive after long manhunt

Australian police have shot dead a man believed to be Dezi Freeman, ending a seven-month manhunt following the قتل of two police officers in 2025. According to authorities in the state of Victoria, the 56-year-old suspect was killed on Monday after a prolonged standoff at a rural property in the north-east of the state. Police had surrounded a structure described as a makeshift dwelling early in the morning. After several hours of negotiation attempts, the suspect exited the building and was shot. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush said officers had intended to arrest the suspect peacefully but were forced to act when he appeared armed. No officers were injured during the operation, which will be subject to a standard investigation. Authorities believe the man is Freeman, though formal identification is still pending. Jacinta Allan, Premier of Victoria, confirmed the […]

Late Bos strike gives Australia 1–0 win over Cameroon

Jordan Bos scored an 85th-minute winner as Australia laboured to a 1–0 victory over Cameroon in a low-key friendly at Stadium Australia in Sydney. The Feyenoord midfielder pounced late to give the Socceroos a much-needed morale boost as they fine-tune preparations for the 2026 World Cup. Chances were scarce in a cagey first half played on a slippery pitch, with both sides struggling for rhythm and creativity. Australia, who had lost 1–0 to Venezuela and 3–0 to Colombia in the previous international window, again found it difficult to break down a young, rebuilding Cameroon team. Coach Tony Popovic used the FIFA Series 2026 match to assess several new faces, handing senior debuts to 18-year-old Colorado Rapids defender Lucas Herrington and Poland-based striker Deni Juric. The pair looked composed early on as Australia pressed for an opening but could not turn […]

Protests trail Herzog’s final day in Australia

Pro Palestine protesters gathered in central Melbourne on Thursday as Israeli President Isaac Herzog ended his four day visit to Australia. Similar demonstrations had already taken place in Canberra and in Sydney, where clashes with police led to arrests earlier in the week.​ Herzog travelled to Australia at the invitation of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following the December 14 shooting at a Hanukkah event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that killed 15 people. Critics accuse him of complicity in civilian deaths in Gaza and objected to the state visit while the war continues.​ Demonstrators in Melbourne’s central business district rallied outside Flinders Street Station, many wearing keffiyeh scarves and waving Palestinian flags. Police estimated that around 5,000 people were expected to join the protest.​ Protesters cited a United Nations Commission of Inquiry report that concluded Israel has committed genocide in Gaza […]

Australian Mint Coins Spark Debate Over Queen’s Portrait

Two newly released commemorative coins from the Royal Australian Mint have sparked debate after many observers said the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II bears little resemblance to the late monarch. The coins, a $5 piece and a 50-cent silver coin, were produced to mark the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth and were made available through an online ballot that closed on Wednesday. Soon after their release, images of the coins circulated online, prompting mixed reactions. Several social media users were openly critical of the design. Some described the portrait as unflattering, while others said they would not have recognised the Queen without her signature hairstyle and pearls. A number of commenters even compared the image to fictional characters from television and film. In response, the Royal Australian Mint defended the artwork, explaining that designs can appear different once […]
