Former NRL player Matt Utai, 44, was shot twice outside a home in Greenacre, Western Sydney, once in the leg and once in the chest. Police believe Utai was not the intended target but was caught in crossfire, with his son Isaiah Utai being well known to police after his house was shot multiple times in December. Utai, who played 170 NRL games for the Bulldogs and West Tigers and represented New Zealand, was taken to St George Hospital in a conscious state under police escort.

A leaked coalition immigration document proposes temporarily banning migrants from regions including Gaza and Somalia, removing 100,000 visa overstayers, and restricting visas from areas deemed terrorist hotspots. The proposal, prepared under former leader Susan Ley, has exposed deep divisions within the party, with shadow immigration minister Paul Scar stating he never supported the policy. Professor Alan Gamlin from the Australian National University Migration Hub suggests the policy contains both predictable elements and surprising proposals that echo Donald Trump's Muslim ban, describing some measures as cosmetic and reflecting a party still processing its historic election defeat.

A shark deterrent ankle device uses electrical signals to repel predatory sharks within a two to two-and-a-half metre range. Independent testing by the University of Western Australia showed the technology has a 60% success rate in turning sharks away when they approach. The device works on pelagic sharks including great whites, bull sharks, tigers and makos by creating discomfort in their electrical sensory system.

The U.S. Attorney General has released files related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, revealing over 300 high-profile names including Barack Obama, Kurt Cobain, Prince Harry, and Robert De Niro. The release has sparked controversy over redacted names and allegedly incomplete files, with calls for further investigation and criminal prosecutions. Former Obama administration adviser Peter Loge clarifies that inclusion in the files doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing, as Epstein had connections through fundraising and other activities.
