Back home, some Sydney suburbs were left in the dark last night after dangerous winds knocked out power for nearly 40,000 people. Sydney's southwest suburbs, some of the worst hit affecting nearly 20,000 people. According to Osgrid, field teams are on site investigating the cause and beginning restoration work. Authorities are asking people to stay clear of any fallen power lines and to treat all damaged infrastructure as if it was live. The coalition is planning to make the desecration of the Australian flag a serious crime. The new plan is among the list of parliamentary reforms that the federal opposition is putting forward this year. Under the proposal, the Angus Taylor led opposition also plans to enshrine January 26 as Australia's national day in common wealth law. The reforms are part of the coalition's efforts to win back votes from one nation, the reigniting debates on protecting Australian national symbols and heritage. Victoria Police have reportedly seized an audio recording from Melbourne over the sexual allegations involving
Sydney swans players. The recording includes detailed recollections from people who are inside the hotel room at the centre of the alleged incident according to the age. It was reportedly made in the days after what happened last month. The club referred the information to the AFL integrity unit, which then informed Victoria Police, four swans players remain persons of interest, while three other men are being treated as witnesses. The Australian disaster response team has arrived at Kathmandu's international airport. The 15 person team includes emergency personnel from New South Wales and Queensland. For a minister, Penny Wong says 36 Australians remain unaccounted for and concern is deepening as the search for those missing goes on. The death toll has risen to more than 1,300 people. The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has denied any plans to force Palestinians out of Gaza. Israel's national security minister has laid out a proposal to oversee
the departure of two million garsens over the next six years. The Israeli minister is describing it as voluntary emigration. Mike Huckabee has rejected a false displacement of Palestinians. America's military has struck three Iranian crude oil carriers. The US central command announcing the action was in retaliation to Iran's attacks on American Navy warships. Iran's state media reported there were no casualties as crews from its vessels were rescued. The US says the three vessels were a part of a multi-billion dollar shadow network, funding the IRGC and its regional proxies. Tengkong issued this warning to Iran. Let the message to the IRGC be clear. If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran's limited and exposed oil fleet. Dave Roberts here, there you are, surrounded by
