** Il leader dell'opposizione si rivolge alla folla durante il servizio all'alba dell'Anzac Day di Brisbane
** Cinque minori incriminati per l'accoltellamento di un vescovo cristiano ortodosso

Il leader dell'opposizione Peter Dutton ha elogiato il cameratismo dei soldati australiani e neozelandesi rivolgendosi alla folla di Brisbane per il servizio all'alba dell'Anzac Day.
Dutton ha parlato del carattere e della coscienza nazionale australiana, scolpiti attraverso la devastazione della guerra.
Ha affermato che gli australiani continuano a essere guidati dallo spirito dell'Anzac sin dalla prima guerra mondiale, in tutti i luoghi in cui hanno prestato servizio da allora.
"It was noted that Australians came from every social strata. During the next four catastrophic years of the first world war, Australians and New Zealanders exemplified bravery in battle, mateship in mayhem, and endurance in extremis. This spirit, the Anzac spirit, emerged in the tragedy of Gallipoli. In the fires of war, Australians carried out incredible work, and they carved out a national character."

Le cerimonie per l'Anzac Day si svolgono anche al di fuori delle coste australiane, in occasione dei 109 anni dallo sbarco delle truppe australiane e neozelandesi ad Anzac Cove, all'inizio dell'invasione di Gallipoli.
Mentre il primo ministro ha partecipato a una cerimonia all'alba in Papua Nuova Guinea, il ministro per gli Affari dei Veterani Matt Keogh parteciperà a una cerimonia all'alba in Francia.
Il ministro ha dichiarato a Sky News che c'è un numero significativo di australiani che partecipano alle celebrazioni all'estero.
"Gallipoli this year will have about 1800 people and here in Villers-Bretonneux will have over 2200, which is the most that we have seen since 2018, which was the centenary of the battle here. So it's great to see Australians still turning out in droves, showing their commitment to honour their family members that fought here, and all Australians that fought here, but not just here, all around the globe."

Cinque minori sono stati incriminati in relazione all'accoltellamento di un vescovo cristiano ortodosso in una chiesa a nord di Sydney, dopo l'arresto di sette ragazzi avvenuto mercoledì.
Il premier del New South Wales Chris Minns ha dichiarato che l'operazione antiterrorismo della polizia a Sydney è fondamentale per mantenere la comunità al sicuro.
Gli investigatori mercoledì hanno eseguito 13 mandati di perquisizione in diversi quartieri di Sydney, coinvolgendo più di 400 poliziotti della polizia del New South Wales e dell'AFP.
Chris Minns ha dichiarato alla ABC che non fornirà i dettagli completi sull'operazione di polizia, ma che questa sta svolgendo un ruolo molto importante.
"Terrorism operations are complex, they involve a higher level of professionalism and dedication from New South Wales police and the Australian federation police. I'm deeply grateful that they are out there doing this difficult work, but it is necessary to keep the public safe. That this taskforce is large and important, and obviously been deployed as a joint operation between the Commonwealth government and New South Wales, but I'll obviously leave operational details up to the police commissioner."

Opposition leader Peter Dutton praised the mateship of Australian and New Zealand soldiers as he addressed crowds in Brisbane for the Anzac Day Dawn Service.
He spoke of Australia's national character and consciousness carved through the devastation of war.
He says Australians continue to be characterised by the Anzac spirit since the first world war in all the places they have served since.
"It was noted that Australians came from every social strata. During the next four catastrophic years of the first world war, Australians and New Zealanders exemplified bravery in battle, mateship in mayhem, and endurance in extremis.

While the Prime Minister attended a Dawn Service in Papua New Guinea, Minister for Veterans' Affair Matt Keogh is attending a dawn service in France.
He told Sky News there's a significant contingent of Australians attending overseas services.
"Gallipoli this year will have about 1800 people and here in Villers-Bretonneux will have over 2200, which is the most that we have seen since 2018, which was the centenary of the battle here.
