Prince Harry’s short visit with King Charles during surgery and cancer diagnosis has raised more questions than “meaningful answers”, Sky News host Caroline Di Russo says. “High drama with the Windsors, honestly it never ends,” Ms Di Russo said. “On Monday the King had been diagnosed with cancer – discovered during his routine surgery for an enlarged prostate. “Just when we all thought the Royal Family was stretched a bit thin, well it became stretched just that little bit more.” She said Prince Harry visiting his father for a short time has come with a degree of “scepticism” and raised more questions than answers.
Israel's Defence Force is claiming to have uncovered a network of tunnels partly running under Gaza's UNRWA building. Israel says the discovery is evidence of Hamas' exploitation of the UN Agency. Australia – and 12 other countries, pulled funding for UNRWA after Israel came out with allegations that some of its staff were involved in the October 7 attacks. Hamas is accusing Israel of falsifying its findings to tarnish the UNRWA. The UN has denied the allegations, highlighting UNRWA does not have the military or security expertise to know what is under them. UNRWA vacated the facility on October 12.

New carbon neutral high rises are being built in Australian cities. These green buildings harness renewable energy sources and utilise the food waste of city workers. Millions of black soldier fly larvae are being used to consume the food organics which have come from the towers where bio solar panels have been built. The project aims to better manage the 60 tonnes of food waste generated from the precinct every month. As a result of the maggots eating the organic waste, two products have emerged for consumers – one to feed to animals, and another for soil.

Oberon Against Wind Towers president Robert Snoch has criticised the government’s plans to build close to 400 to 600 wind turbines in Oberon. The proposed wind turbines are set to be put on top of ridgelines as the 40-metre-tall pine trees in the area would be dwarfed by the 285-metre-tall wind turbines, which are nearly as tall as Centre Point Tower in Sydney. “It’s just been railroaded through, there’s no thought given to it,” Mr Snoch said. “Look we have more unproductive land in this country than productive land if there are communities that would like to take a renewable energy project because they can't graze animals on it, or because they can’t crop it or harvest it that land may be suitable for renewable energy let them have it let them make a buck or two out of it. “But please don’t destroy prime agricultural land which Oberon has.”

Sky News host James Morrow says Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur has described US President Joe Biden in his report of the president’s “mishandling of classified documents”. Mr Morrow said according to Hur “Biden may very well have known what he was doing” but “because of his various memory problems as well as his cognitive issues ... Hur thought there was no way they could actually bring a successful prosecution”. “Biden got a get out of jail free card – simply for being Joe,” Mr Morrow said. “Which I guess means the next time you get pulled over for speeding, audited by the tax authorities or caught with something you shouldn’t – don’t ask for a lawyer – just sniffer their hair. “Maybe for good measure use the old creep whisper and say ‘I didn’t do it’. “This is really grim, Joe Biden we are told is simultaneously too addled to prosecute but entirely compos mentis to run the country.”

Sky News host Rita Panahi says the "feral left" have become "hateful and hostile" in the suburb of Fitzroy leading to “members of the Jewish community fleeing”. Ms Panahi says Fitzroy is the “wokest suburb in Australia". “As reported in Friday’s Herald Sun – Jewish residents of the inner north including Fitzroy are packing up their lives and moving south due to ‘anti-Semitic attacks’ on local families and businesses,” Ms Panahi said. “One resident told the paper he was fed up with daily reminders that he and his family were ‘unwelcome and unwanted’ and had begun fearing for their safety. “That’s the hard left-Greens dominated inner north for you where Jews don’t feel safe and are leaving their homes and businesses but where those who are not sufficiently romantic are considered an oppressed minority group who need to have their own flag and week of recognition. So tolerant, so kind. So utterly demented.”
