Australia news live: migrant visa bill passes parliament with Coalition clauses; Optus chief to front Senate hearing

Thousands of students will be taking the streets later today for the School Strike 4 Climate. Let’s hear from some students about why they’re striking today:

Torres Strait Islander law student Chelsea Aniba has travelled from Saibai to Melbourne, where she will join the student protest to explain how her people are at the frontline of climate change.

It’s affecting our homes, our gardens, we can’t really grow our traditional foods like we used to anymore.

The season that we usually get our geese, the seasons of our turtle and dugong they’re being affected as well.

And of course, the the main one, which is the sea levels are rising.

Min Park, 16, from Sydney, said she was striking because of Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s approval of new coal and gas projects.

She is listening to the fossil fuel lobby, instead of doing her job and taking responsibility to protect the health of the planet.

Anjali Beames, 17, has been striking from school all week, studying on the steps of Parliament House in Adelaide, alongside other students from the South Australian Youth Climate Alliance.

I am studying for my future, but I am worried that without real action on climate change my future will be bleak.

Charlotte Curtis, 16, said in her hometown of Port Hedland they were already feeling the impacts of climate change, with less rain and more extreme heatwaves.

I want my community to thrive, not suffer through more and more climate impacts.

Daniels says “if you call for a ceasefire, you’re letting down the Jewish community, if you don’t you’re allowing death and destruction to happen in Gaza” after being asked by RN Breakfast host Patricia Karvelas if she supports calls for a ceasefire.

She continues:

At the end of the day, if I say to you right now, yes, I support ceasefire that will make zero difference to what is happening in in Gaza.

I’m a former foreign correspondent. I know the logistics of this, of course, a ceasefire is where we need to get to, but you have a terrorist organisation in the middle of this if there’s just a ceasefire, and there’s no capacity there for to try to dismantle Hamas. Does that allow Hamas to regroup? What does that actually lead to? That said, I’ve said to you before, very clearly, and I still stick to the position that the Israeli government has to adhere to international law and the rules of war, and I think, in some ways, has not been.

‘Unprecedented’ anxiety and tension in our communities, Zoe Daniel says

Independent Zoe Daniel, the MP for Goldstein, is speaking on RN Breakfast where she’s said she fears tensions in the community could become worse amid fallout from the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Speaking about a pro-Palestine rally that gathered near a synagogue in her electorate after Burgertory’s Caulfield store was severely damaged in a blaze last Friday morning, Daniel said:

The level of anxiety and tension in our communities right now I think is at an unprecedented level.

That protest happened at a time when people were actually about – there were people in the synagogue.

So to have that unfolding on our streets was really terrifying for people in my community, the grief and the pain is not only in the Jewish community in Australia, obviously, Palestinian communities and Muslim communities are feeling that grief and pain as well. What that creates is this real tinderbox of potential despair, overflowing into hatred and anger.

SA police officer fatally shot

A South Australia police officer has been fatally shot after being confronted by an armed suspect.

At about 11.20pm on Thursday night, three police officers went to a property at Senior near the Victorian border to investigate and incident.

The police officer died at the scene, police said, “despite the efforts of his colleagues and paramedics”.

Another police officer was also shot, but sustained non-like threatening injuries. A third police officer who was at the scene was not injured.

The alleged suspect has sustained life threatening injuries after being shot by police. He was flown to Adelaide where he remains under police guard.

‘While these people are out in the community, it’s a disaster’

Opposition leader Peter Dutton appeared on the Today show a little earlier talking about the suite of Coalition amendments that Labor agreed to which will see tough restrictions on people released from detention.

Dutton said:

We had one hour to draft these amendments. And there would have been a lot more that we would have done. Time was not on our side yesterday. We ended up getting some changes. And I hope that gives us a chance of making the community a little bit safer. While these people are out in the community, it’s a disaster.

The deal that Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has called “the Dutton tail wagging the Labor dog” include: obligations to report to authorities, which are mandatory and apply to all; curfews; and electronic monitoring in the form of ankle bracelets.

Immigration detention explainer

As my colleague Martin Farrer mentioned earlier, last night parliament passed legislation to close a loophole in the legal treatment of asylum seekers released from indefinite detention.

There may be a political price for the Albanese government after Labor agreed to Coalition amendments that removed key legal safeguards and adding mandatory sentences.

If you’re catching up on this news, my colleague Paul Karp has broken down what the high court ruling means and how Labor responded to it:

Flight delay compensation would stop airlines from acting like a ‘mafia of the skies’, MP says

Australian airlines are acting like a “mafia of the sky” in continuing to strategically cancel flights they never intended to operate, an MP has claimed, arguing for the urgent introduction of compensation laws so carriers are deterred by immediate penalties.

Monique Ryan, the independent member for Kooyong in Melbourne, has ramped up her calls for a mandatory compensation scheme for airline passengers, saying allegations levelled by Sydney airport this week showed such laws were needed as a matter of urgency and could not wait until the government’s aviation white paper, which is due by the middle of next year.

On Wednesday Sydney airport’s outgoing CEO, Geoff Culbert, accused Qantas – among other airlines – of continuing to strategically cancel flights out of the airport to block competition as he warned that the embattled airline was making it difficult for Australians to “fall in love with Qantas again”.

Home prices surge across Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth

Almost every pocket of Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth experienced home price growth over the past three months, Australian Associated Press reports.

The three capital cities are running at high speed, according to CoreLogic’s Mapping the Market report that drills down into home values by location.

The upswing in the Australian residential market has become more widespread over the past three months. Still, performance across the major cities and regions was mixed.

The two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, kicked off the recovery from a downturn that began last year but are now growing at a more moderate pace.

Canberra markets have been fairly flat, with most unit markets in decline.

Home values in Hobart moved 0.3% higher in the past three months.

CoreLogic head of research Eliza Owen said property markets were in recovery mode despite high interest rates and weakening economic conditions:

It’s often noted that Australia is not “one housing market” and we’re currently seeing increased diversity in capital city market performance.

She said there were varying levels of supply in each market, with total listings particulaly low in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane:

“In these cities, total listings levels are low, city-wide capital growth is running a bit over one per cent per month, and migration trends from both overseas and interstate favour more housing demand.

A volunteer firefighter has been killed after being struck by a falling tree in northern NSW, Australian Associated Press reports.

The man was killed while battling the Hudson fire near Walgett yesterday afternoon. Rural Fire Service members offered the man first aid until paramedics arrived.

He was taken to a Lightning Ridge medical facility before he died.

RFS commissioner Rob Rogers described the man as a dedicated volunteer who died trying to help protect his local community:

This gentleman made the ultimate sacrifice. His tragic and untimely death is a solemn reminder about the dangers faced by our firefighters.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and firefighting colleagues at this terrible time. We are offering every assistance to his family and fellow brigade members.

The fire is at watch-and-act level and has burnt through more than 21,000 hectares.

Properties in the Glengarry area are being assessed for damage, with warnings dangerous weather conditions could exacerbate the fire.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the news in Australia. I’m Martin Farrer and I’ve got some of the top overnight stories before my colleague Jordyn Beazley steps up to the plate.

Last night parliament passed legislation to close a loophole in the legal treatment of asylum seekers released from indefinite detention. But Labor agreed to Coalition amendments that removed key legal safeguards and adding mandatory sentences. There may be a political price the Albanese government will pay for this, as party heavyweight Kim Carr joins the critics who say ministers allowed themselves to be bullied into it by Peter Dutton. The Labor veteran criticised the government’s “deeply disturbing” decision to sign up to mandatory minimum sentences. More reaction coming up.

The Optus chief executive Kelly Bayer Rosmarin faces senators today over the telco’s handling of last week’s 14-hour nationwide outage, and whether its data offer to customers is sufficient compensation. Rosmarin will be facing the Senate inquiry, chaired by the Greens communications spokesperson, Sarah Hanson-Young, over two hours this morning. On Monday the company claimed the cause of the outage was changes to routing information supplied from an international peering network after a routine software upgrade.

Anthony Albanese is in San Francisco for the Apec leaders summit and he will hold a doorstop for the media scheduled for 12.45pm. He will be rubbing shoulders again with US and Chinese leaders Joe Biden and Xi Jinping as he continues his diplomatic grand tour. It’s looking as though it might be a fairly friendly atmosphere in the city of love after China praised yesterday’s “warm” meeting between Xi and Biden, in a marked shift of rhetoric after months of negotiations aimed at stabilising what has been a testy relationship. More on Apec as it happens.
