Well you've mostly likely seen video of the staggering moment Bob Katter threatened to punch a journalist last week.

And it could now land the maverick MP in hot water.

Katter could have his pay docked or face suspension after he was referred to parliament's standards watchdog over his explosive tirade.

The 80-year-old sparked widespread condemnation after a prolonged outburst on Thursday when he threatened a Nine journalist following a question about his Lebanese heritage at a press conference about his plans to attend anti-immigration rallies.

Despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese telling the MP to take a "look at himself," Mr Katter dug in and insisted he should have been more aggressive.

It's prompted Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young to ask the Independent Parliamentary Standards Commission to investigate the incident.

"The threat ... was bad enough but to have now doubled-down on it and said he should have been 'more aggressive' is unthinkable for someone in public life," she said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. The parliament has an important role to play in setting the standards of behaviour and this is clearly unacceptable conduct."

Bank of Queensland (BOQ) has been accused of treating staff as “disposable” after cutting 200 Australian jobs.

The Finance Sector Union (FSU) has lashed the bank, accusing it of blindsiding workers through a tech deal with consulting firm Capgemini that has eliminated 200 Australian jobs.

According to the union, the widespread job losses include 165 roles in contact centres and 20 roles in collections. The rest are retail, lending and audit roles.

The move is tipped to save the bank $30m a year.

FSU national secretary Julia Angrisano said the BOQ cuts had been planned in secret and dumped on workers with no warning.

“BOQ staff deserve honesty and respect, not to be blindsided about the future of their jobs,” she said.

“When customers pick up the phone to speak to their bank, they expect to speak to a BOQ worker who knows their account and their community, not a contractor overseas with no connection to the bank.”

Victoria Police say they are committed to locating alleged cop killer Dezi Freeman and may offer a cash reward if they are given information about his whereabouts.

Police on Monday said they believe there are people who know is location but said people with information have chosen not to come forward.

On Tuesday, Superintendent Brett Kahan said a "remarkable" amount of information had been received by police since that update a day earlier, the ABC reported. He added a reward for information was "an avenue police will explore".

He said more resources were being deployed to find Freeman however the rising cost of the search effort is something police will need to consider, former homicide detective Charlie Bezzina told AAP.

Australian property prices have scaled to a new record high, as a lack of stock and interest rate cuts continue to spur on buyers.

National dwelling values rose 0.5 per cent in August for the eighth consecutive monthly increase, according to Proptrack.

National house prices are now at $835,000, up 5.3 per cent for the last 12 months.

In other words, house prices are now $47,900 higher compared with this time last year.

“This marks eight straight months of growth as the housing market gains momentum following the series of interest rate cuts this year which have boosted borrowing capacities, improved sentiment and drawn buyers back into the market,” Rea group senior economist Eleanor Creagh said.

An 11-year-old boy has died in the US when he was shot after ringing a home's doorbell and running away.

The child had been ringing doorbells on Saturday night in the Houston district of Eastside as part of a game known as “doorbell ditch,” city officials said.

The child was struck multiple times and taken to hospital but could not be saved, Click2Houston reported.

Police have detained a suspect and investigations are ongoing.

It certainly is a bizarre video, and unsurprisingly Reece Walsh's club is't too impressed with it.

The Brisbane Broncos have moved to clarify the situation after Walsh, who has been in blistering form of late on the pitch, was seen in a private video drinking water from a toilet.

It turns out it was an unused toilet installed during renovations but the Broncos didn't see the funny side of it, releasing a statement saying it was a "poor attempt at humour".

"No one should take this video seriously," they added.

Walsh was heard telling the camera the bizarre stunt was a "new form of recovery to recover the muscles".

Well the big retail news yesterday was that The Reject Shop will no longer be... well the name of the store, that is.

That's because following its $259 million takeover by Canada's Dollarama, it will now start to transition to its new owner's name and should be complete by 2027. Dollarama products will also slowly be added to the shelves during that changeover.

A massive haul of cocaine worth more than $164m has been seized and three Sydney men charged after police foiled a sophisticated smuggling plot allegedly aided by port insiders.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) and NSW Police, working as part of the multi-agency strike team (MAST), uncovered 506kg of cocaine hidden behind a false wall inside a shipping container at a Sydney sea freight facility late last month.

Investigators allege the drugs, which had arrived from Europe concealed within legitimate cargo, were being extracted from the container by a criminal syndicate with insider access to port operations.

The man who was caught on camera snatching a hat off a young boy at the US Open has said he made a "huge mistake" after footage of the incident went viral.

Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was "convinced" tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been "passing his hat in my direction".

"I know I did something that seemed like consciously collecting a memento from a child," he wrote in a statement. "This wasn't my intention, but it doesn't change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans."

The video, taken during Majchrzak's match on Thursday, showed the tennis player offering his cap to a child, before Mr Szczerek appears to take it.

Versions of the clip were shared widely on social media and prompted criticism of Mr Szczerek's actions.

The 50-year-old wrote on social media on Monday: "I would like to unequivocally apologise to the injured boy, his family, as well as all the fans and the player himself."

He added that he had given the hat back to the boy, and hoped that it had "at least partially repaired the damage that was done".

Majchrzak, 29, who had just won his match against Russian ninth seed Karen Khachanov when the incident unfolded, told the BBC he believed he "did what most of athletes would do in this kind of situation", adding he hoped the boy and his family "had a great day".

It is now one week since Dezi Freeman fled his property into dense bushland after allegedly shooting dead two police officers.

As a huge manhunt in the Porepunkah area fails to locate Freeman, Victoria Police are now shifting their focus.

Superintendent Brett Kahan revealed on Monday police believe Freeman is being helped to evade detection.

"People know the whereabouts of the person who has [allegedly] killed two cops," he said on Monday.

"People have chosen for whatever reason, not to come forward."

One tool that has proven unsuccessful so far is infrared and thermal cameras, with experienced drone search and rescue operator Michael Coates telling AAP that means one of two things.

"If he was just out sitting under a tree somewhere, they would have found him many, many days ago. He's obviously found shelter or he's evaded everything and he's out of the area."

Australia is “missing out” on US tariff carve-outs because Anthony Albanese has not locked in a face-to-face with Donald Trump, opposition trade spokesman Kevin Hogan says.

It has been 300 days since the US President’s historic second White House win.

Dozens of world leaders, including from countries closely allied with Washington, have managed a meet.

But the Prime Minister is not among them – a fact that has haunted Mr Albanese at press conferences amid concerns Australia’s security may not be assured under the Trump administration, and that tariff-induced global economic turmoil could hit Australian producers hard.

With steel, aluminium and copper slapped with 50 per cent imposts, and floated 250 per cent duties threatening pharmaceuticals worth more than $2bn, Mr Hogan said the Albanese government’s “inaction on this issue is not good enough”.

“Small businesses are suffering,” he said in a statement.

“Parcels that were once duty-free are now being hit with a flat US$80 fee.

“The Albanese government’s complete lack of awareness and inaction on this issue is not good enough.

“Every day of delay means more risk, more confusion, and more costs for Australian exporters, workers, and families.”

Mr Hogan repeated the Coalition’s call on Mr Albanese “to meet with the US President and put Australia’s case at the highest level”.
