- The Australian Federal Police confirmed it has received reports of a potential crime over Pauline Hanson’s “good Muslims” comment and is assessing the matter.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissed One Nation as divisive and said Australia needs hope and solutions rather than grievance-driven politics.
- Albanese stated the government is not repatriating or supporting the 34 women and children in Syria and that there is no contact with them.
