Hey Chris Bew with you, welcome to The Briefing.

The way we diagnose ADHD in Australia has completely changed over the past couple of years and now GPs have been given the green light to identify and treat it.

That chat is coming up in the second half of this episode.

First, though, let's get into the headlines with Sasha Barbagat on Tuesday the 12th of May.

It's there the four Australian citizens, a permanent resident and a New Zealander will enter a purpose-built quarantine facility to isolate for at least three weeks.

The federal government has announced one of the strictest lockdowns in the world for returning passengers who had been on the MV Hondias, which had been on a tour of some of the world's most remote islands when the outbreak occurred, killing three on board and infecting a suspected nine people.

Pauline Hanson has hit back at comments made by senior Liberal Tim Wilson about whether One Nation and the party could ever form an alliance.

In response to the Libs' dismal result in the Faro by-election, the shadow treasurer had left the door open to a possible deal to form government with the minor party, later clarifying his comments with this.

Now sticking with politics briefly, tonight Jim Chalmers is handing down his fifth budget and he's set to reveal a $45 billion improvement to the Commonwealth's bottom line.

The improvement comes amid what we're being told is a responsible budget focused more on saving than spending amid a tense political landscape and of course the impacts of the war in Iran.

To New South Wales now, where police believe one of the largest manhunts in the state's history is over, with a body found in remote bushland believed to be that of alleged triple killer Julian Ingram.

The 37-year-old had been on the run since January 22 after allegedly shooting dead his heavily pregnant former partner Sophie Quinn, her friend John Harris, before going on to kill her aunt Nerida Quinn and seriously injuring a fourth person, Caleb McQueen.

New South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland says the body appeared to be heavily decomposed and had likely been there for quite some time.

Also saying the discovery brings closure to police, the families and the whole community.

A coroner will formally identify the body and determine the cause and time of death.

Allen appeared in court in an orange jumpsuit, shackled at the waist, but didn't speak, with his lawyer entering the pleas on his behalf.

His legal team, though, will next push to have Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and US Attorney Jeanine Pirro thrown off the case, arguing both were at the dinner and it would be inappropriate for victims of an alleged event to prosecute the same case.

Now, briefly, while we are in the US, we did hear from Donald Trump this morning speaking in the Oval Office, and he had this to say in response to Iran's peace proposal.

So a bit of context here, Iran had actually sent through their counteroffer to a US proposal to end the war over the weekend or early Monday morning our time.

In it, they laid out their demands to end it and reopen the Strait of Hormuz immediately.
