Among those supporting the new party is Malcolm Turnbull, the former Liberal Prime Minister, and he actually spoke with the briefing, and that interview will be in your feed tomorrow morning.
The Royal Commission into Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion has returned to hearing from witnesses with Australia's spy boss, Mike Burgess, taking the stand today.
We learnt that within the first 30 seconds of the start of the shooting of the Bondi terror attack targeting Jewish Australians, 11 people had been shot and 10 of them fatally.
The next block of hearings is focused on the circumstances around the terror attack and what was known about the two shooters.
Burgess was asked about whether changes in ASIO's priorities led threats to go unchecked.
Here's what he had to say.
Burgess will also return to the commission in closed hearings so that the national security secrets can be discussed.
A second person with diphtheria has died in the Northern Territory as health authorities keep working through a rare outbreak.
The man, aged in his early 60s, died at the Alice Springs Hospital yesterday with the ABC reporting he had existing heart issues.
More Australian activists have returned home after being detained in Israel for their participation in a naval flotilla that was trying to reach Gaza.
The activists held a conference at the airport earlier today detailing some of the conditions they faced.
Meanwhile, the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, has given a speech in which he denounced brutal acts against detainees in Israel and called out a handful of people who think that detainees, those under interrogation or suspects, have no human rights at all.
Herzog's role is ceremonial, so this speech is a notable political move.
And an update on the Aussie burrito chain, Guzman & Gomez.
We heard on Friday that the chain was immediately shutting down its American operations, but now it's facing a class action from its US workers, with a lawsuit saying that Guzman needed to give its workers 60 days' notice that it was shutting down.
Instead, the workers found out that they were losing their jobs through a post on an internal message board, which was quickly then deleted.
Now it's time to get into our deep dive with Tom Decent, the chief sports writer for the Sydney Morning Herald on the Enhanced Games.
It's the comp that the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Olympic Committee have called utterly irresponsible and immoral.
It's backed by billionaires and draws athletes from across the globe with huge prize money up for grabs, including $1.5 million that's in AU if you break a world record.
So why are these athletes choosing to juice up and what does that mean for the future of modern sporting events?
