And in headlines today, James Vlassakis, the youngest man convicted over the Snowtown murders, has been granted parole after 26 years in prison; Australia’s eSafety Commissioner says YouTube and Apple are failing to tackle child sexual abuse material on their platforms; Volodymyr Zelenskiy has spoken with Donald Trump about ending the war, stronger sanctions on Russia, and a $46 billion drone deal; Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have walked the red carpet in Sydney for the Australian premiere of Freakier Friday.
