At least 10 killed in central Mexico fireworks blast during festival
Local government says at least 60 were wounded in the blast, apparently caused by a burning bull effigy.
The parents of two Australian surfers who were killed in Mexico have arrived in the country to attend their trial. The incident has sparked calls for the Labor Party to toughen lobbying rules, with Communications Minister Anika Wells urging the opposition to pass legislation that would strengthen powers for the eSafety Commissioner.
The proposed legislation would increase information-gathering powers to investigate non-compliance by social media platforms related to the minimum age ban for social media use, and double the maximum penalty for breaches to nearly $110 million. This comes after the Albanese government introduced an urgent law to strengthen eSafety's powers to enforce the social media minimum age law, which has been under scrutiny since its introduction over two months ago.
