Good morning readers and welcome to our live news blog for Tuesday, September 16.
Making headlines today a senior member of Sussan Ley’s shadow cabinet has warned he could quit the frontbench if the Coalition does not abandon its support for net zero.
West Australian MP Andrew Hastie said he would consider quitting the frontbench, or that he could be sacked by Ley because he believed the opposition should dump the targets.

Ley ordered a review of the Coalition’s climate policy by her energy spokesman, Dan Tehan, after the disastrous 2025 election in which the Peter Dutton-led opposition promised to build up to seven nuclear power stations to meet Australia’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050.

Attadale man, Jayden Selfe, 33, was last seen in May.
