Virgin Australia has apologised after a doctor claimed she was told to leave its business lounge at Melbourne Airport because she was using a breast pump under her shirt.

Women's health specialist Dr Elise Turner took to her Instagram to express her anger over the incident, saying a worker had told her she would need to pump breast milk inside a toilet instead.

"This is just disgusting, this is 2025," the mum told her followers.

Virgin Australia were quick to apologise, with a spokesperson telling Yahoo the encounter "fell short of the high standards of care and customer service our team strives to deliver".

Yahoo understands the employee who was involved in the exchange has been spoken to about the incident.

With a nationwide social media ban for children looming, we've heard a bit more about how platforms will restrict banned teens.

Governments and tech firms worldwide are closely watching Australia's effort to become the first country to block use of social media by those younger than 16, starting from December.

"eSafety recommends the most minimally invasive techniques available," the internet watchdog said in its guidance for firms to comply with the law passed in November.

Social media platforms are not required to conduct blanket age-verification as firms can use existing data to infer age reliably, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said.

"We know that they have the targeting technology to do this," she told a media briefing.

"They can target us with deadly precision when it comes to advertising, certainly they can do this around the age of a child.

"Adults should not see huge changes ... it would be unreasonable if platforms re-verify everyone's age."

TikTok has previously indicated it can identify a child with biometrics in just three seconds, Grant said.

Federal Communications Minister Anika Wells urged "reasonable steps" by social media companies to detect and deactivate underage accounts, to prevent re-registration and provide an accessible complaints process for their users.

"We cannot control the ocean, but we can police the sharks and today we are making clear to the rest of the world how we intend to do this," Wells told reporters.

There was no excuse for non-compliance, she added, as the platforms had the capability to do so, ranking among the world's biggest and best-resourced companies.

Police have confirmed the victim in the suspected carbon monoxide poisoning is a 25-year-old male who they believe may have been an employee at the restaurant where he was found unconscious.

Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood praised the bravery of five police officers who attempted to revive the man on their arrival to the Indian restaurant in Riverstone this morning.

"I want to acknowledge the police who put their lives at risk going into the environment, commencing CPR, trying to save this young man's live and now they are themselves subject to medical intervention," he said.

A nurse sacked over her alleged inflammatory rhetoric is no longer accused of threatening to kill Israeli patients after prosecutors dropped a charge.

Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 27, and Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 28, sparked national condemnation when they were recorded saying they would refuse to treat Israelis and appearing to threaten violence towards them.

The pair were working a night shift at southwest Sydney's Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital at the time of the alleged threats, made through an online video chat platform in February.

Charges were laid after footage was shared online by another party to the Chatruletka meet-up, Israeli influencer Max Veifer.

Abu Lebdeh was charged with threatening violence to a group, using a carriage service to threaten to kill and using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.

But the allegation that she threatened to kill Israeli patients was withdrawn by prosecutors on Tuesday in Downing Centre Local Court.

Abu Lebdeh is yet to enter pleas to the remaining two charges, which will proceed with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.

She is on bail under strict conditions, barring her from using social media or leaving the country.

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has refused to be interviewed by British police ahead of his pending release from prison.

The Metropolitan Police said it sent an international letter of request to 49-year-old German national Christian Brueckner for him to speak with them which he later rejected.

Madeleine vanished in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in 2007, shortly after she was left sleeping by her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, who went for dinner in a nearby restaurant.

The Met said Brueckner remains a suspect in its own investigation – with Portuguese and German authorities also probing the three-year-old’s disappearance.

Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for the rape of an elderly woman at her home in Praia da Luz in 2005 and could potentially be released on Wednesday.

He has previously denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell, a senior investigating officer for the Met’s investigation, said the force will “continue to pursue any viable lines of inquiry” in the absence of an interview with Brueckner.

“We are aware of the pending release from prison of a 49-year-old German man who has been the primary suspect in the German federal investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance," he said.

“We can confirm that this individual remains a suspect in the Metropolitan Police’s own investigation."

We now have more details from authorities about the suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at a Sydney restaurant that has led to the death of one person and the hospitalisation of six others.

Fire and Rescue NSW superintendent Adam Dewberry told reporters the incident at a Riverstone eatery was "extremely tragic".

"It was obvious to the first arriving emergency services, the air quality in the building was compromised," he said.

"Firefighters wearing protective clothing, including breathing apparatuses, entered that structure with the gas detectors, and identified that there was a carbon monoxide in there and some other products that you just can't survive in when you're breathing that."

US President Donald Trump has suggested tens of thousands of people will attend Charlie Kirk's funeral at the weekend and said he will likely address those attending.

His memorial service will be taking place at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, which has a capacity of 63,400, and is open to members of the public who register for the service.

"We're going to have a stadium, and I bet that stadium is going to be pretty packed, maybe completely packed," Trump told reporters.

"It's going to be big, but I'm going to be at the stadium, and I guess I'll say a few words. I don't know, but I guess I will."

In some breaking news, one person has died and five police officers have been hospitalised following a gas leak at a Sydney restaurant, NSW Police says.

Aerial vision from the ABC shows several emergency vehicles at the restaurant in Riverstone this morning. The ABC is reporting NSW Ambulance believes the incident is a possible case of carbon monoxide poisoning.

A member of the public has also been taken to hospital.

We will bring you more on this developing story when we have it.

Stores like Dan Murphy's and BWS are being disproportionately targeted by thieves in the country's increasing retail theft problem.

Data from the state's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research showed retail thefts had spiked 30 per cent in a decade, with incidents involving stolen alcohol increasing by more than 140 per cent.

Retail Drinks Australia chief executive Michael Waters told AAP bottle shops were the big target due to the "relatively high value of products, their ease of portability, and ease of consumption or resale."

The Endeavour Group, which owns BWS and Dan Murphy's, said it had invested in a number of security measures to protect staff and customers and deter theft.

These include auto-locking doors and lockable cabinets for higher-end products, a trial of AI-enabled body-worn cameras and an increased investment in physical security.

A Tasmanian man has won $2.5 million on the TattsLotto with a ticket he was gifted from his wife.

The draw was on September 6, but the Launceston man has only come forward now to claim his prize.

“We were in Hobart last week and we wanted to wait until we were back home to check the ticket with our local newsagency," the man's wife told lottery officials.

The suspect in Charlie Kirk's murder reportedly confessed to killing the conservative activist in a small group chat hours before he was taken into custody.

The Washington Post reported that the suspected shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, wrote a series of messages in a group chat on Discord saying he had "bad news" — that it was him at "UVU yesterday," and that he was "sorry for all of this.”

Utah Governor Spencer Cox told media outlets over the weekend that Robinson has "not confessed" to Kirk's killing and that he is "not cooperating" with investigators.

During a news conference last Friday, Cox said that Robinson's roommate showed investigators messages they exchanged through the online messaging platform Discord, which authorities took photos of.

Cox described the messages that the roommate received from a contact named "Tyler," which included references to needing to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush and watching the area where the rifle was left wrapped in a towel. There were also messages from "Tyler" that referred to engraving bullets, that the scope and rifle were unique, and that he had changed outfits.

A Discord spokesperson later disputed some of the details shared by officials during Friday's press conference, saying the messages cited were not believed to have been sent on Discord.

A 13-year-old girl was arrested on Monday after a shopping trolley was allegedly thrown over a railing at Victoria Plaza in Sydney's Chatswood.

The trolley struck a man below, with the 59-year-old taken to hospital with head and facial injuries.

NSW Police told Yahoo on Tuesday the girl has been released pending further inquiries.

Billionaire Elon Musk has scooped up roughly $1bn (A$1.5b) worth of Tesla shares, in what is being seen as a vote of confidence in the electric car maker.

Shares in Tesla, which have struggled to advance this year, jumped more than 6% in early trading on Monday on the news.

Musk already held a roughly 13 per cent stake in the company, but he has long sought more control of the firm, which he has been pushing to invest in robotaxis, automation and artificial intelligence (AI).

The company's board recently proposed a compensation plan valued at roughly $1 trillion, which would grant Musk up to 12% of the firm's shares if the company reaches certain targets.

The board also said it would grant him $29bn (A$43b) worth of shares last month as a separate "interim" award, after a larger pay package agreed in 2018 was struck down in a court battle.

The proposals followed discussions with Musk, in which he demanded a 25 per cent stake in the firm, at times threatening to quit Tesla entirely over the issue.

Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said Musk was likely looking to build back his stake in Tesla, noting that "markets like it" when company leaders buy into their own companies because it suggests they feel positive about the firm's future performance.

But she noted that there could also be other motivations at play.

"An inventive and ungenerous interpretation of Musk's actions is he saw the news about Larry Ellison becoming the world's richest man and decided to juice Tesla stock a bit to regain the title," she said. "Stranger things have happened."
