Press club refers banner incident to federal police – as it happened

And with that, we are going to put the blog to bed. Before we go, let’s recap the big headlines. The One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson , addressed the National Press Club for the first time since entering politics 30 years ago. She attacked multiculturalism, calling for a “monocultural society” where English is the only language spoken at home, proposed scrapping SBS and implementing a subscription model for the ABC, and attacked transgender rights. She also said too many pregnancies were terminated in Australia. Hanson also attacked a Guardian Australia reporter for asking about her daughter, Lee Hanson , who is employed as a senior adviser to New South Wales One Nation senator Sean Bell , despite living and working in Tasmania . Kyle Sandilands settled his legal dispute with ARN Media with a $12m cash payment over three years, but Jackie O Henderson’s $82m claim against the broadcaster will continue. The shock jock agreed to drop his $85m lawsuit against Kiis FM in return for a cash payment and $1.5m in advertising contract on ARN’s stations for a new broadcasting venture. The Australian government has lowered its travel advice for a slate of Middle Eastern countries, including Bahrain , Israel , Kuwait , Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from Level 4: do not travel, to Level 3: reconsider your need to travel. Some parts of Israel remain at a do not travel warning. Two children died after being struck by vehicle in Sydney’s south-west. NSW police said emergency services were called to the intersection of Joseph and Gilbert Street, Cabramatta, at about 3.15pm, where they found two children, both aged under five, had been struck by a car.
