    Surf Life Saving New South Wales operates drones across more than 80 beaches along the entire state coastline, conducting two flights per hour, seven days a week to detect sharks and protect swimmers and surfers. The drone program detected over 1,200 sharks during the 2026 summer season alone, using early detection systems and immediate response protocols including sirens, radio alerts to lifeguards, and beach evacuations when necessary.

  • Meta and Google found guilty in landmark addiction trial

    Meta and Google found guilty in landmark addiction trial
    Mar 25 2026
    A US jury has found Meta and Google guilty of negligence in a landmark social media addiction trial, ruling that the design of their platforms, not just content, caused mental health harm to users. The verdict opens the door to approximately 10,000 pending lawsuits in the US, with former Facebook Australian boss Stephen Skeeler noting that while addiction wasn't initially considered in early social media development, companies didn't do enough to address it once it became apparent. The case represents a significant setback for major tech platforms as legal action may spread globally.

  • Fuel crisis threatens Australian economy amid Middle East conflict

    Fuel crisis threatens Australian economy amid Middle East conflict
    Mar 25 2026
    Treasurer Jim Chalmers warns Australia could face an economic crisis comparable to the GFC as fuel prices surge 67% due to Middle East conflict disrupting supply through the Strait of Hormuz. The government is negotiating fuel supply deals with Asian countries, including potential energy swaps with Japan, while petrol stations across the country experience supply shortages. Australia's fuel distribution infrastructure, described as inadequate after 15 years of neglect, is struggling to cope with increased demand and hoarding behaviour, despite sufficient fuel having arrived in the country.
