Australia correspondent Karen Middleton looks at how Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has taken on Elon Musk, calling him an "arrogant billionaire" over his refusal to take down videos of a stabbing attack on an Assyrian priest in Sydney last week.

Mr Albanese is on a two-day walk on the Kokoda Track with his PNG counterpart James Marape to mark Anzac Day - but also reinforce Australia's commitment to its northern neighbour.

And Kathryn looks at the furore over a comedian's decision to kick out a mother and baby from his gig.
