Sky News host Sharri Markson says a riot has broken out after a reported stabbing at a Fairfield church in Western Sydney. Unverified footage has shown a Bishop at the front of the church being repeatedly stabbed, understood to be in Fairfield, in Sydney’s West. “People are so angry, understandably so, that their local church leader has been stabbed in this horrific way,” Ms Markson said. “He is still alive, he has been taken by ambulance to Liverpool Hospital. “We are hearing reports now that there is a riot forming.”

Sky News host Sharri Markson reacts to live footage of the stabbing of a popular local bishop which just occurred in Fairfield. “A bishop was stabbed in front of his congregation tonight, stabbed multiple times,” Ms Sharri said. “One of the most horrific stabbing attacks livestreamed on YouTube.” Fairfield Mayor Frank Carbone joined Ms Markson to provide an update on the unfolding incident and to provide a health update on the bishop who was stabbed. “I believe that the bishop will be taken to hospital and he should be okay,” Mr Carbone told Ms Markson. NSW Police have also just released a statement saying, “The injured people suffered non-life threatening injuries and are being treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics”. It went on to say, “The community is urged to avoid the area".

Author and energy expert Alex Epstein says the Biden administration pushing for the climate disclosure is a “violation” of the First Amendment. Mr Epstein joined Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi to discuss the Biden administration’s latest push for climate action. “Really coercing companies into spewing anti-fossil fuel climate catastrophe propaganda. “What that does is then every corporation is saying climate change is an existential threat, we’ve got to get off fossil fuels. “Well then that helps dupe the American public.”

Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says Iran’s attacks on Israel deserve the “strongest condemnation”. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Mr Birmingham said the attacks are “unprecedented”. “Of course, none of us wish to see a broader conflict ensue,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “But that doesn’t change the reality that Israel was subjected to an unprecedented attack from Iran.”

After the weekend's tragic events at Westfield Bondi – the owner of the shopping centre, Scentre Group, is also coming to terms with it. One Westfield security guard, Faraz Tahir, 30, a refugee from Pakistan, was killed – with reports suggesting it was his first week on the job. Scentre Group CEO Elliott Rusanow spoke about the loss, and plans to re-open, outside the Bondi Junction centre. “The process of reopening is one which is a challenging one,” Mr Rusanow said. “Westfield Bondi plays a very important role for many, many members of the community. “But we have to recognise that this has been the scene of very tragic circumstances ... and we have to respect the loss of life, the victims and the victims' families.”

The Department of Home Affairs concedes people smugglers may use the government’s proposed detainee reforms as a way of attracting new business. “There have been accusations from the government that the Opposition’s language around this debate may have been enabling people smugglers,” Sky News Political Reporter Cam Reddin said. “A concession and something of an acknowledgment of a broader problem too from the Home Affairs Department. “Some of the language and also potentially the new laws that the government is proposing on detainees may be captured by people smugglers and used as part of their marketing. “These are laws the government tried to rush through in the final sitting week before the break – it was unsuccessful there which has taken us to a committee today.”

Republican Senator Marco Rubio has revealed Iran aims to make Israel "an impossible place to live" through its recent aerial attacks. Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend following an Israeli attack in Syria earlier in the month that reportedly killed two Iranian officers. Most of Iran's missiles were intercepted by Israel with allied help. Rubio told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday Iran's ultimate objective is to harm the Jewish state and remove US presence from Iraq and Syria. "Iran knows it cannot beat Israel militarily but what it does aspire to do is make Israel an impossible place to live in and a place no one wants to visit," he said. "It’s good that those strikes did not get through and harm anybody. "But what do you think tourism numbers are today in Israel and in the next couple of weeks, where we think business numbers are going to look like. "All of this is harmful to the Jewish state, because that is the goal of Iran ultimately, and that’s why they want us out of Iraq. That’s why they want us out of Syria."

Republican Senator John Kennedy has urged the US to fully support Israel against Iran and warns America cannot risk "turning the other cheek" to the threat. Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend following an Israeli attack in Syria that reportedly killed two Iranian officers. Kennedy told Fox News on Sunday America must "stand with Israel" or Iran's going to come back to bite the US "in the neck". "We need to stand with Israel. It’s very clear. We’re not at war with Hamas, or Hezbollah or Yemen. Those are all surrogates for Iran," he said. "Israel is at war with Iran. Iran hates Americans. Iran hates Jews, Iran wants to kill Americans and Jews. And if we turn the other cheek to them, we’re going to get it in the neck."

The IDF has claimed it has “not lost sight” of its critical mission in Gaza to rescue 133 hostages from Hamas terrorists. IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari insisted “even while under attack from Iran” Israel is determined to rescue hostages “from the hands of Iran’s-proxy Hamas.” His message came after Iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones in a direct attack on Israel. Most of those were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome. The US has made it clear it will not participate in an offensive towards Iran, over concerns of further escalation.

Jacqui Lambie Network Senator Jacqui Lambie discusses how the government should proceed with the migration bill which will be scrutinised in parliament today. “I think it needs to be looked at like it’s going to be today, so we can pick up all those issues that are wrong with it in really quick succession,” Ms Lambie told Sky News Australia. “So this time if we get a bill up, it can actually hold itself in our court system,” Ms Lambie said. “That’s what I’d like to see – so we do something properly and it stands up to the test of time. “And does what it’s meant to do,” she said.

Jacqui Lambie Network Senator Jacqui Lambie says her heart goes out to the many people in mourning following the tragic stabbing deaths in Bondi Junction. The sixth victim killed after the horrific stabbing rampage at the Bondi Junction shopping centre has been identified. “You have to ask where someone’s head is that, you know, they decide they are going to take a knife into a shopping centre and go on a rampage,” Ms Lambie told Sky News Australia. “I imagine that there are a lot of people out there in mourning this morning and my heart goes out to them,” Ms Lambie said. She said people must “remain vigilant” following the attack.

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has labelled Iran’s attack on Israel as “unprovoked”. The US has broken ranks with one of its biggest allies after it told Israel it will not participate in any retaliatory action against Iran following hundreds of strikes over the weekend. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. “Iran is not well-liked amongst many in the Shia world, so that’s probably not surprising,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. “An unprovoked attack, again, from the Iranian mainland, from the country itself – this was not a proxy attack. “This came straight from Iran itself, which was the first time in history, so it’s probably not surprising to see Jordan reach out to help defend Israel as well.”

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says Iran’s attack on Israel was “largely ineffective” and it may “provide an opening” to prevent an escalation. The US has broken ranks with one of its biggest allies after it told Israel it will not participate in any retaliatory action against Iran following hundreds of strikes over the weekend. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. “There’s an element here that might provide an opening to not force an escalation here, which is the attack was largely ineffective. “It’s not as if Israel received a tremendous amount of damage.”

Sky News US Analyst Michael Ware says Iran’s air attack on Israel is “a form of messaging”. Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Mr Ware pointed out “all war is a conversation” as the aerial bombardment was “relatively restrained”. “They did warn the Iraqi government, and they did warn the Turkish government, in the expectation that they would then warn the American,” he told Sky News Australia.

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says it is “hard to imagine” politics “isn’t going to weigh in” on Joe Biden’s response to Iran’s attack on Israel. The US has broken ranks with one of its biggest allies after it told Israel it will not participate in any retaliatory action against Iran following hundreds of strikes over the weekend. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. “It’s going to be different; it’s going to be hard, but it’s going to be different than Gaza,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. “Keep in mind, there is a very strong pro-Palestinian element here in the United States – that’s different than defending Iran. “It’s not exactly the same political dynamic. “That being said, to the extent Joe Biden is not only the sitting president but also a candidate for re-election, it’s hard to image that politics isn’t going to weigh in and he doesn’t want to be perceived … as being too pro-Israel.”

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has encouraged Israel to be “cautious in their response” to Iran’s attack.

It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. Israel says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. “We participated over the weekend in helping defend Israel, along with the British, I believe, against the attacks from Iran,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. “We’re actively engaged on behalf of Israel. “I understand our government, in the last couple of hours, has put out a statement saying they were encouraging Israel not to retaliate. “That makes some sense … but so far, it looks as though one would expect – we helped Israel defend itself, and I would encourage them to be cautious in their response.”

CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski says Iran’s attack on Israel is “front of mind” for markets. There are growing calls for restraint as the world reacts to Iran’s aerial bombardment of Israel. It is Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on its neighbour. “This is an issue that’s front of mind for markets and, indeed, was one of the factors that informed the performance of US markets at the weekend,” Mr Piotrowski told Sky News Australia. “You had the S&P500 fall by one and a half per cent, the Nasdaq down 1.6 per cent, and the Dow was down 1.2 per cent.” Presented by CommSec.

Support for the Labor government among voters has fallen over its handling of key issues like the economy, immigration, and law and order. This is according to the latest poll conducted by The Australian Financial Review. It shows Labor has levelled with the Coalition at 50 per cent on the two-party preferred vote. Anthony Albanese’s lead as the preferred prime minister over Opposition leader Peter Dutton has also fallen. The poll indicates that Labor would most likely be reduced to minority government if elections were held now.
