Australia's e-Safety Commissioner has asked Twitter to explain an apparent increase in online hate, amid revelations there have been more complaints about toxic content in the past year than any other platform.
Commissioner Julie Inman Grant says rising complaints to eSafety and reports on the platform suggest Twitter is not enforcing its own rules around hateful conduct.
If Twitter fails to respond to the eSafety's request within 28 days, the company could face maximum financial penalties of nearly $700,000 a day for continuing breaches.
TEAMS from the United States, Canada and France have searched more than 25,900 square km of open sea, roughly the size of Lebanon, as they continue to look for a missing submersible near the wreck of the Titanic.
They say they are concentrating their efforts on a remote area of the North Atlantic where a series of undersea noises have been detected.
TREASURER Jim Chalmers is calling for more transparency from consultancy firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers after a Senate committee found the firm's conduct in a tax advice scandal has amounted to an "egregious" breach of trust.
The firm has been revealed to have used confidential government information to help private clients avoid tax.
Dr Chalmers says their behaviour is not acceptable.
"We've seen a trashing of the consultation process and it's been deeply disappointing and completely unacceptable. This is about getting to the bottom of what's happened, and making sure it doesn't happen again."
NEW South Wales Premier Chris Minns says there is no evidence that police are holding back any other information from the public about the tasering of a 95 year old woman in May.
There have been claims of a coverup because the first press release issued after Clare Nowland's tasering left out key details, including the use of a Taser.
The Premier has told Channel Nine that the Police have explained the reasoning behind not including the circumstances of Ms Nowland's death was to ensure her immediate family were notified before the public.
"It's important to note from the very beginning, New South Wales police put homicide detectives on the investigation, had the law enforcement conduct commission oversight the enquiry; there was a critical incident report immediately. And eventually New South Wales Police charged a serving NSW Police Officer with very serious crimes. So the context of the suggestions around a cover up need to be seen in the full context of the enquiry, and I do have confidence that NSW Police did their job and took this very troubling incident very seriously from the very beginning."
A survey of more than 1,200 migrant workers has revealed more than one fifth of workers have been paid or offered a lower salary because of their nationality.
The new report released today by Unions New South Wales and the Migrant Workers Centre has also found some respondents have been offered inferior wages because they were on temporary visas.
Unions New South Wales Secretary Mark Morey says those on student visas are especially vulnerable to being exploited working in jobs well below their skills level.
"One of the things they need to do is have an effective framework that prevents discrimination based on someone's migration status. If you have the skills to do the job, and you have the experience and you have the appropriate visa, you should be able to apply for those jobs and know you'll be able to get those jobs."
