Australia news live: transport minister calls in Airservices Australia for urgent meeting after Sydney airport chaos

Federal Minister for Transport Catherine King has convened an urgent meeting with Airservices Australia following a near-miss incident at Sydney airport on Sunday. The event follows a series of delays and safety concerns over the past few days. NSW Deputy Premier Prue Car has asked the NSW Education Standards Authority (Nesa) to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on student learning and consider a ban on unsupervised take-home assessments.

Car emphasized that AI should not replace critical thinking, creativity, and hard work in education. Half of students' HSC results depend on school-based assessments, which may be completed outside the classroom. The meeting aims to discuss a "pathway forward" to ensure the safety and integrity of airport operations.
