Dural caravan inquiry committee explore arrest warrants for NSW staffers over failure to give evidence
Five New South Wales government staffers face possible arrest warrants after defying a summons and not appearing before an Upper House inquiry into the Sydney Dural caravan plot. The five staffers asked to be excused from Friday's hearing in a letter, after being summonsed to give evidence about what and when the state government knew about the plot, after the caravan was found laden with explosives in January amid a spate of antisemitic vandalism. The ABC understands the committee will go to the president of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin to ask if he could request arrest warrants in the NSW Supreme Court. NSW Premier Minns had flagged the staffers — some of who worked for him — would not give evidence on Thursday, calling the inquiry into what the state government did or did not know about the alleged plot a "star chamber". At the state parliament's Macquarie Room on Friday morning, committee members waited to see if the five staffers would turn up, with their empty chairs carefully labelled. Inquiry chair and independent MP Rod Roberts said he was disappointed the witnesses had not turned up, describing it as a "very serious matter" and saying further action will be considered. "I am disappointed in the government's continued efforts to hinder and frustrate the work of this committee and ultimately the role of the legislative council to scrutinise the actions of government." Mr Roberts concluded the hearing with a short statement about the intention behind the staffers being summonsed to appear. "This committee was established to determine whether members of parliament debated and passed hate speech and protest laws through parliament based on misleading or incomplete information." During the committee, Mr Roberts revealed a letter dated June 19 undersigned by staffers and asking to be excused from appearing was received on Thursday. In the letter, the staffers said their giving evidence before the select committee would "be at odds with the principles of ministerial accountability and comity between the House of Parliament". The letter also stated that a separate parliamentary inquiry could also consider the compulsion of ministerial staff to give evidence, suggesting it infringed parliamentary privileged "or otherwise offends principles of our Westminster system of government". The letter ends with the request to be excused from the hearing. Mr Roberts told the hearing he objected to the arguments made in the letter. "It is a fundamental role of the Upper House to hold the government of the day to account." Before concluding the hearing, Mr Roberts said the witnesses scheduled to appear had failed to comply with the summons. The committee is believed to be considering its next step.

Panic after bomb threat note found on Brit flight to Canary Islands as major security operation launched
A BOMB threat note was found during a TUI flight from Cardiff to the Canaries. After the letter was spotted in the bathroom, the entire aircraft, along with all passengers and their luggage, had to be inspected by specialists in explosives. 2 2 A crew member reportedly handed the letter to the pilot when he finished flying over Portugal in the direction of the Canary Islands. Spain's Civil Guard activated the security protocol after receiving a warning from the AENA control tower. An extensive security operation then swung into action with specialists from the GEDEX (Explosives Deactivation Group), the Fiscal and Border Section, investigation units and citizen security patrols all intervening. Air traffic controllers wrote on their X account: "The plane has been guided with the presence of firefighters to a siding where the passengers have had to identify their luggage. "Landing and takeoff operations have been temporarily interrupted, which has caused some delays." The result of the inspection was negative, meaning that no explosive device was found on board. The Civil Guard has launched an investigation to determine the authorship of the message. The force stressed that this type of act is a serious crime, as it causes alarm, compromises public safety and forces specialised resources to be used. is your go-to destination for the best celebrity news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
