A teenage girl is fighting for her life after a drive by shooting in Queensland on Saturday night.
Queensland Police say the 19 year old was shot in the head outside a pub hosting an amateur and pro boxing night in Loganholme south of Brisbane.
Three men were also shot and they are reported to be in a serious but stable condition.
Logan City Mayor Jon Raven has told Channel 9 everyone is stunned by what has happened.
"People are scared. This has sent a shockwave through Logan because we've never seen anything like this happen in our city before. Our hearts go out, obviously, to the victims and to the staff and the people who were at this boxing event. I've been to one of these events before. They're a really family-friendly environment, and I know that there was lots of children who were there last night. This is gonna impact them for the rest of their lives."
French police have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds, as more than 400,000 people rally across the country over school funding and the soaring cost of living.
Police have also made nearly 1,000 arrests, and this number is expected to increase significantly.
Police say the tear gas was deployed after a mostly peaceful protest in Paris turned violent, with demonstrators hurling objects and fireworks at officers.
Protester Vanessa Ramirez says people are tired of struggling day-to-day, and are calling for systemic change.
"I'm a nurse. We've been fighting for years, struggling relentlessly. They're taking away beds. In terms of healthcare, they're taking away so many rights, and the only thing they want is to divide us. We want to be able to live off our work. And right now, we can't. And in my opinion, the healthcare system is collapsing. The education system is collapsing. And in fact, it's the very core of a society."
Elon Musk has confirmed that his SpaceX company throttled the Starlink satellite internet system in Ukraine, disrupting operations that the country relies on to defend itself against Russia.
A Ukrainian presidential adviser has rejected that accusation.
Ukraine's president Voldoymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine's access to Starlink is now fully restored.
The Opposition is calling on Australia's security agencies to strike a balance as it protects the safety of politicians.
Safety has been in the spotlight since the attack on independent MP Helen Haines outside her electorate office in Victoria last week.
The Australian Federal Police said in the days after the attack that threats against members of parliament have increased significantly in recent years, prompting debate over the need for heightened security.
Opposition Minister for Home Affairs Ted O'Brien has told Sky News while these are important conversations, he doesn't want a greater security presence to distance politicians from voters.
"As a local MP, I don't want to stop going to community events. I don't want to stop pitching a marquee, standing under it, and having constituents just coming up freely. That open access is a cornerstone of democracy. We're particularly good at it in Australia. We can't take away grassroots politics."
A greater number of small business owners are experiencing greater mental health challenges connected to the rising cost of running their operation.
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's annual work health and safety survey has found 36 per cent of small business owners reported experiencing anxiety, depression and other stress-related conditions, an increase of six per cent in two years.
The Chamber says less than one in four businesses have access to timely and affordable help for workplace health hazards.
Spokesperson Rebecca Sostarko says that suggests governments need to offer more support to small businesses.
"Obviously, people have a breaking point and a limit to how much pressure they can take. And we want to obviously incentivise and support businesses to be entrepreneurial, to aspire to do the things that they're passionate about. But if they are being bogged down administration, being required to do so many things at once, obviously that is going to disincentivise people having a go."
The first passenger flight has taken off from what is Australia's first newly built major airport in more than half a century.
The Jetstar flight departed from the newly opened Nancy Bird Walton terminal bound for the Gold Coast.
Local leaders now hope the airport will transform the region into an economic powerhouse, making it easier for Western Sydney businesses to send freight overseas and travellers to wander the globe.
Authorities say Badgerys Creek will scale up to handle more than 80 million passengers annually by the 2060s.
