AFP sounds alarm on youth radicalisation The Australian Federal Police is warning of a sharp rise in youth radicalisation, with cases developing rapidly and increasingly driven by online ecosystems. The significance is twofold: it raises immediate public-safety concerns after recent foiled plots, and it adds pressure for tougher platform obligations and earlier intervention by schools and families.

Power price shock: wholesale electricity forecast to double New modelling reported today forecasts wholesale electricity prices surging by 2029, blamed on renewable build delays colliding with coal closures—an explosive mix for households and industry already sensitive to cost-of-living pressures.

  The Kerala High Court has directed police to provide protection to Big TV journalist Aparna Kurup and her minor son following alleged death threats and cyber attacks after she anchored a television discussion on women's rights. Justice Murali Purushothaman passed the order on November 6, directing the Ernakulam South Station House Officer to provide protection whenever she reports any threat or intimidation. Kurup had alleged that she faced online harassment after hosting a programme discussing remarks by Islamic scholar Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar on women's rights. The court disposed of her petition after the state assured it of adequate police protection, Lawchakra reported.    

  The Madhya Pradesh High Court has quashed an FIR against independent journalist Uvesh Khan for reporting on violence during a Ganesh immersion procession in Silwani, Raisen district, in September 2025. In an October 28 order, Justice Himanshu Joshi observed that reporting an incident of violence did not, by itself, amount to promoting communal enmity. The FIR alleged that Khan's YouTube report could create fear and confusion among members of the Hindu community. The court held that the report did not contain specific statements promoting enmity between communities and said continuing the proceedings would amount to an abuse of the legal process, Alt News reported.    

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 #1  ·  Times City / Let Delhi Breathe  ·  Data story / Investigative Data blackout: Likely Diwali AQI much higher than 370 By Amit Bhattacharya   ·   The Times of India  ·  Page Page 2 A forensic analysis of CPCB's hourly station-level data shows that 43 of Delhi's 59 monitoring stations reported missing data during peak pollution hours on Diwali night, with 12 stations going dark for nine or more hours — enough to be excluded from the citywide average. The paper's calculations show the official AQI of 344 would likely have exceeded 370 had data transmission not been interrupted, with the 12 excluded stations averaging a likely AQI of 403. The analysis establishes that outages were concentrated precisely when air quality was at its worst, and that stations were still recording AQI 500 when transmission resumed, making the interruption pattern statistically improbable as

Michelle Duke is in an interesting position within the tech media world - she works as a development evangelist for cloud communications company Twilio, and also writes for consumer technology title TechAU.  So, how does she combine the two?  “One of the great things about having a flexible work environment is you can choose how you spend a lot of your time and how you do your hours as well,” she told Influencing.  As a result, part of her role she writes for Twilio. “You'll see my name published on a lot of articles, and I spend a lot of my time doing scripts for social media and some of our content reviews.”  That means her evenings and weekends are spent writing about tech products for techAU.   “Yesterday, I got back from New Zealand and my husband and I were doing up our living room. We put some new shelves in, put up new pictures and spent some time putting one of our review items together.”  The two roles occasionally cross over, she said. Her approac

When Communications Minister Anika Wells named the 54 recipients of the $31.5 million News Innovation Fund (NIF) last week, the list read like a roll call of Australian media organisations operating on the margins – community radio, regional mastheads, First Nations newsrooms, and multicultural and disability media. News24 had a different perspective, headlining one report on the grants, Labor awards $31.5m in taxpayer-funded journalism grants to 54 media organisations amid questions over the exclusion of conservative media. Pauline Hanson also accused Labor of rewarding outlets it favours. The catch is that the complaint is about funding News Corp was never eligible for. Whether it should be is another question. Two funds, one rule The NIF is one part of the government's $153.5 million News Media Assistance Program (News MAP). It sits alongside the $67.6 million Journalism Assistance Fund (JAF), which subsidises the wages of more than 2,000 journalis

Meta has paused proposed changes to its commercial terms following opposition from news publishers and regulatory scrutiny over whether the company could collect content from independently owned websites without separate consent or compensation. The changes, originally scheduled for October 30, would have allowed Meta to use automated tools to access content from websites associated with businesses using its platforms. Publishers warned that the provisions could enable commercial use of their journalism, potentially including AI applications, without their permission. The backlash led to complaints before European and UK competition authorities. On October 30, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation into whether Meta was imposing unfair trading conditions on businesses dependent on its services. A Norwegian court also issued an interim injunction protecting ten publishers against the proposed terms. After initially postponing implementation to Nove
