Reports from the United Nations (UN) said more than 200 mass graves have been discovered in parts of Iraq controlled by Daesh.

Iraq’s Mass Graves Directorate thinks there are around 4000 bodies in the Al-Kasafa sinkhole. However, further investigation is not possible as the site is heavily booby trapped and has been deemed too dangerous.

This is just one of 202 graves detailed in a new UN report, which are believed to hold somewhere between 6000-12,000 victims of the Daesh regime.

More than 20 refugees from Manus Island seeking medical treatment in Port Moresby have been sent back and another 20 will be flown out this week ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Summit next week.

Refugees report medical treatments were not completed before removal, and one refugee allegedly attempted self-harm from the stress of the relocation.

While PNG’s Police Commissioner, Gari Baki, said the removals were not related to the summit, police have stated the removals were part of the Summit’s security precautions.

The Dorper, an African sheep breed which calls the Kalahari desert home is proving its worth to a growing number of Australia's drought-stricken graziers.

The sheep arrived in Australia in 1996, but their performance in recent successive droughts has seen the meat breed surge into popularity.

Owners of the Bellevue grazing company at Millmerran in south-east Queensland, the Curtis Family said they now have healthy pregnant dorper ewes, many with twins, surviving in very dry paddocks.

A move to force suspects in serious crimes, such as child pornography, to hand over their passwords or comply with fingerprint and facial scans to unlock devices is being introduced into the South Australian Parliament today.

Under the proposed legislation, anyone who does not hand over their password could face up to five years in prison.

Although SA Attorney-General, Vickie Chapman, says this move is ‘necessary’ to defeat modern criminals, concerns have been raised about implications for freedom of privacy.

Fake $50 notes are reported to be circulating on the Northern Gold Coast.

Anyone with information about the counterfeit notes should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Federal MP Tim Mander is demanding a shark cull in Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands following a fatal attack on a Victorian man on Monday.

The 33-year-old man was attacked by an unknown shark species and was flown to hospital from Cid Harbour with critical injuries.

Mr Mander says the position of the LNP is ‘people before sharks,’ but the government has resisted calls to reintroduce the drumlines saying it’s taking the advice of experts, as well as introducing better signage warning people not to swim in Cid Harbour.

About 500 people, including ethnic Uighurs, have marched through Geneva chanting 'Shame on China' and accusing its government of tyranny and "terrorist" repression.

Demonstrators waved light-blue flags representing East Turkistan, some Uighurs' preferred name for Xinjiang and protesters held photos of loved ones who have gone missing or were taken into custody by Chinese authorities.

China rejects Western criticism of suspected mass detention and heavy surveillance of Uighurs dismissing the allegations as alternative facts.
