Live: Four Australians confirmed safe in Nepal-Tibet flood disaster

Four Australians have been confirmed safe after the Nepal-Tibet flood disaster, reducing the number of unaccounted-for Australians from 42 to 38. Nationals leader Matt Canavan attributes the rise in young men turning to the online manosphere to the 'feminisation' of the school curriculum and a lack of male role models. Canavan suggests increasing the number of male teachers in schools to provide more direction and leadership for young boys.

Meanwhile, the federal government plans to invest $600 million in a new Pacific scheme to combat drug smuggling, including more aerial surveillance and training for regional police forces. The Powering Skills Organisation warns there is a shortage of workers in Australia to build both houses and data centres, with the AI boom exacerbating this issue.
