It's understood they were on the vessel as part of the Orcas Training Rotation,
0:52
meantime the federal government has confirmed military assets have been deployed to the Middle East,
0:57
but what and where is not known. The UK is sending additional fighter jets and other
1:03
resources into the Middle East as the conflict escalates, officials are responding to a drone attack
1:09
on a key British military base in Cyprus, amid criticism of the response to the conflict so far,

Back home Radical Group, his butteria has been banned,
1:39
under new hate laws in Australia, Chris McCarthy explains.
1:42
Anyone who continues to be involved with his butteria will now face up to 15 years in jail,
1:48
after the federal government confirmed it has been officially listed as a prohibited hate group.
1:53
It is now a criminal offence to be a member of recruit for or provide training or funds to
1:58
the organisation. The Home Affairs Minister says the listing sends a strong message,
2:03
the spread of hatred and extremist rhetoric will not be tolerated.
2:07
Tony Burke says the new laws are designed to stop organisations which are sowing the seeds of
2:12
division in the community. In Sydney, Chris McCarthy, nine news.

Australia and Canada have signed deals to enhance cooperation across defence,
2:21
critical minerals and technology. Canadian Prime Minister Marconi is leaving Australia after
2:26
a three-day visit, where he used a speech to call for greater strategic collaboration
2:31
between global middle powers. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the relationship between
2:36
our two countries is entering a new phase. We're backing our shared economic security
2:42
with a new clean energy partnership, updating the Australia Canada tax treaty,
2:47
and importantly, deepening our cooperation on artificial intelligence as we go forward.

New South Wales independent Helen Dalton has ruled out contesting the federal seat of Farrah,
2:59
saying she's decided to stay in state parliament. A by-election will be held on the

9th of May to replace former Liberal leader Susan Lee, who quit politics last month after being
3:09
rolled by Angus Taylor. New rules requiring all Australians to prove their age in order to
3:15
access adult content are expected to be in effect by Monday. Social media sites,
3:20
search engines, pornography websites and gaming providers are among the platforms to be

affected by the change that may involve photo ID, credit card checks, age estimation or similar
3:30
tools such as those seen being used to enforce the social media ban.

Final Queensland residents are bracing for heavy rainfall as a tropical load draws closer
3:40
to the state's coast. At this stage, it's considered unlikely that the low will develop
3:44
into a cyclone before it makes landfall. And safety advocates are calling on employers to treat
3:51
sexual harassment as a preventable workplace health and safety risk, not an HR matter.
3:56
The Institute of Health and Safety believes the management of workplace sexual harassment
4:00
prevention must be embedded into everyday systems. Chairwoman Cili Arentonowski says the
4:06
upcoming International Women's Day is a timely reminder that more work needs to be done.
4:11
This is absolutely a workplace issue and should be treated as such.
4:16
Sexual harassment occurs at work when culture and systems allow it to happen.
4:21
And so, you know, we need to treat it like any other workplace hazard.
