The outage affecting Microsoft Outlook and Teams services has yet to be fully resolved for Australian users - more than ten hours after the initial disruption.
More than 5,500 Australian users reported problems with their Outlook emails on monitoring website Down Detector on Friday at 9am, with users still reporting issues with connectivity and functionality into the afternoon.
The Australian Federal Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation have also been impacted.
Microsoft says it has fixed the Teams disruption for users in North America, and is "aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact" for users of its services in other regions.
Cyber Security Minister Tony Burke says Microsoft Australia has told him they don't believe the outage was the result of a cyberattack.
"The perspective of Microsoft, at this stage, they do not believe they are dealing with a cyber event. They believe they are dealing with some ways similar to what we saw with respect to CrowdStrike - where there is an update that has gone awry. Secondly, in terms of the impacts so far, is very much on email systems. One of the things that we had with CrowdStrike is that we had a whole lot of downstream impacts where it affected the capability of a whole range of other products."
The UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples has completed his inspection of Australia's detention facilities.
Albert Barume was blocked from visiting the youth detention facilities in Darwin and Townsville, during his national tour to examine human rights issues affecting Indigenous Australians.
The Northern Territory has twice now barred UN investigators access to inspect prisons.
Mr Barume will present a report on the visit to the UN Human Rights Council in September 2027.
Speaking on his preliminary findings, Mr Barume says scrutiny is important.
"I was in Townsville, and mums could not tell me how their kids are doing -10-year-old kids, because even the access to the family member, to those detention (is blocked). And I really hope, I think this country needs minimum mandatory standard on human rights that will apply across states and territory. And that's why I say indigenous people's right are unsafe."
A woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted in a hotel room with Sydney Swans players says she is devastated police have decided not to charge the men.
Victoria Police said earlier today they believed there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the case.
Slater and Gordon senior lawyer Jackson Pannam, whose firm is representing one of the women who alleges being sexually assaulted, says civil claims are still being prepared against the relevant parties.
Swans CEO Matthew Pavlich acknowledged the police statement, and says the club is progressing with its own measures.
"We have begun a thorough analysis and examination of the men's footy program. We're well advanced through that process. We have the help of some independent advisors. And we are hopeful that will be finalised by the end of the year, with some really important changes and recommendations to that program. It has been a really difficult period for our football club and the players involved, their families, our staff, our fans, members, and corporate partners."
A teenager who survived six days in Victoria's bushland is recovering in hospital.
The 17-year-old, William, is now in a stable condition in hospital, and will undergo further testing and specialist review.
He told Channel Seven, it was challenging surviving the six days in the bush on a packet of chips - and he sang John Denver songs to keep his spirits up.
The Victoria Police Air Wing crew that found William, spotting him in the dense bushland.
Senior Constable Emma Quick says her colleague, Jack, was the first person to spot something that led to the rescue.
"Jack said: hey, let's get the camera on that. And sure enough it was Will and he was lying on some towels on the side of a creek bed, which was just incredible to see - and to locate him. I don't think any of us in the aircraft could actually believe that it was him. You can see, he sorts of puts his head up and that was another moment where we were just 'oh my gosh, he's alive'. And yeah, we've got him."
The Rubik's Cube is returning to its birthplace in Hungary, more than 50 years after it was invented.
A new fully automated factory will produce one million of the colourful puzzles each year.
More than half a billion Rubik's Cubes have been sold worldwide since the puzzle was invented in 1974.
Its inventor, 82-year-old Ernő Rubik, says it's a special moment to see production return home.
"It's the home of the Cube, because the Cube was born here and I'm living here. In the past 50 years, I followed what happened with the Cube worldwide, and I try to follow it, because in all the places, the Cube was the first and I am the second, only.”
The Socceroos friendly against Jordan has been moved to Qatar - due to security concerns in the Jordanian capital Amman.
The relocation for the Tuesday game has been approved by the Jordan Football Association.
Socceroos coach Tony Popovic says it is great the game will go ahead, and the team will stay in Doha, where they are set to play against Qatar on Saturday morning Australia time.
"We're still going down the path of having a young squad, bringing in new players and hopefully this will really show the fruits of our labour - will show in a year's time, when the Asian Cup is on. We know what we're up against: Asian Cup winners, an experienced team, in their conditions. It is another great challenge, but also an opportunity, as you said, to progress our game and try build on what we showed against Brazil."
