The new camera fitted to Huawei’s latest P30 pro smartphone has sparked privacy concerns due to the capabilities of its triple-lens camera.

The phone can zoom up to 5x optically, with a 10x digital zoom, allowing it to zoom in 50x, with pictures showing the camera capturing legible small writing on buildings, hundreds of metres away.

The Paris judicial office says that it took Notre Dame staff 23 minutes to discover the fire that broke out in the cathedral after a fire alarm sounded.

Remy Heitz, a Paris public prosecutor, says the cathedral’s fire alarms went off twice on Monday evening, with the first one going off at 6:20pm local time which is when a Notre Dame staff member checked under the roof only to find nothing.

When the fire was identified 23 minutes later after the second alarm sounded it was too late to save the 850-year-old cultural icon that suffered widespread destruction.

A recording has surfaced of comments made by Liberal Chisholm candidate, Gladys Liu, appearing to describe LGBT+ issues as “ridiculous rubbish”.

The recording obtained by the ABC comes from an interview reported in the Guardian in 2016 where Ms Liu was asked about the Safe Schools program, where she is quoted responding, “Chinese people come to Australia because they want good … things for the next generation, not to be destroyed - they use the word destroyed - [by] same-sex, transgender, intergender. All this rubbish. To them, they are just ridiculous rubbish”.

Fifteen protected trees which were some of this country’s tallest have been found burnt dead in the Huon valley, south of Hobart.

The Riveaux road fire ripped through the area in summer, burning over 60,000 hectares of bushland.

Brisbane’s largest Indigenous cultural markets will start up again, following their introduction during last year’s Commonwealth Games.

The Meeanjin Markets will be supported by the state government until 2021, with more than $1 million committed.

Tourism Industry Development Minister, Kate Jones, says, "The Meeanjin Markets created more opportunities to share Queensland's unique Indigenous cultures with the world.”

"By investing in the Meeanjin Markets, we're making sure this legacy lives on.”

A Brisbane couple has been sent to prison after exploiting a Fijian woman for slave labour after trafficking her into the country.

She was trafficked into the country on a tourist visa and promised a longer visa by the couple, while making her work as a maid, nanny and cook for eight years until her escape.

Judge Leanne Clare says the woman’s human rights were “seriously compromised” and that the couple tried to enhance the quality of their own lives by oppressing another person.

It is claimed that child protection services have told homeless children in Canberra to “suck it up and go home” or are turned away from crisis accommodation because they are too young to be granted access.

19-year-old Mike says he was denied access to crisis accomodation for homeless youth when he was 15 years old because he was younger than 16 and Child and Youth Protection Services told him they would not help “because it wasn’t the worst circumstances in the world”.

Brisbane citizens will have the opportunity to pay their respects to veterans as the sun rises on Anzac Day from the top of the city’s iconic story bridge.

The Story Bridge Adventure Climb will host four special Anzac Day climbs for locals to pay tribute to all past and present servicemen and women, including a moment of silence during each climb and all profits made from the day will be donated to veteran-support charity, Mates4Mates.

Home affairs minister Peter Dutton and opposition member for Dickson Ali France have met for a debate on live radio yesterday afternoon.

Dutton began the meeting by apologising again to his opponent for the north Brisbane seat for claiming she used her disability as an excuse for not living in the electorate.

The Labour candidate thanked Dutton for his apology, keen to move forward in a debate of ideas, but not without sending a clear message regarding disability.
