We’ve rounded up all the latest stories from Australia and around the world – so you don’t have to go searching.

1. Julie Bishop to question Joe Hockey over reports of possible foreign aid cuts in next budget. 

By ABC.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says she plans to question Treasurer Joe Hockey about a report suggesting the aid budget is likely to suffer more cuts in May.

Foreign aid has taken significant hits in recent budgets and The Australian has reported it is likely to suffer another small cut in May.

But Ms Bishop said the cuts were news to her.

“I’m not aware of that detail, so I read that for the first time in Greg Sheridan’s column today,” Ms Bishop said.

When asked on Radio National whether she would be aware if her budget was going to be cut again Ms Bishop said, “well you’d hope I would be, wouldn’t you?”

“So I’ll certainly be taking that up with the Treasurer to find out the source of that story.”

2. ‘Best mum’ awarded to woman who lived as a man for 40 years.

A Egyptian woman who dressed as a man to support her family, has officially been crowned ‘the most supportive mother’ in her hometown of Luxor, Egypt.

Sisa Abu Daooh, 65, received the award from Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, after she disguised herself as a man for 40 years, in order to find work to support her children.

Daooh started dressing as a man in the 1970s, after the death of her husband. She was six months pregnant at the time.

Sadly, labouring jobs were closed to women during this time period, and Abu Daooh lacked the education for an office job.

So she did the only thing she could to support her child: she began a new identity as a man.

She shaved her head and wore loose-fitting clothing, working with bricks and harvested wheat.

She told The Guardian that she enjoyed working as a male, free from the threat of  harassment.

“I was able to work men’s work, and all the people around me were happy with it. When men looked at me they looked at me as a man.”

Abu Daooh plans to remain living as a man.

“I have decided to die in these clothes. I’ve got used to it. It’s my whole life and I can’t leave it now.”

3. Cyclone Nathan: Goulburn Island evacuates as storm forecast to intensify.

By ABC

Tropical Cyclone Nathan has spared Elcho Island the worst but is now gaining strength off the Northern Territory coast, forcing authorities to evacuate Goulburn Island.

With the cyclone expected to strengthen to a category three storm this morning, authorities have decided to fly out residents of the Warruwi community on the tiny island as there are no approved shelters there.

Northern Territory Emergency Services director Andy Warton said the operation would take all day.

“The objective is to have everybody off that island by the end of the day,” he said.

It is expected it will take more than 20 flights to evacuate about 400 residents.

Small buses are at the airport transporting people to the Royal Darwin Showgrounds where they will be housed in the same pavilion as a month ago, when a similar operation took place when Cyclone Lam came through.

Cyclone Nathan is moving north-west at 12 kilometres per hour and is set to increase in intensity over open water as it moves along the coast today.

Category three is classified as severe, with very destructive winds, with typical gusts over open flat land of 165 to 224 kilometres per hour.

4. My School website to be overhauled to give better representation of schools.

Changes to the My School website are set to make way for new comparisons between schools, and better access to research data.

The federal government is planning to create a more user-friendly website style — with comparative information delivered based on selections made by the user.

The government also hopes to integrate information about student support services and extracurricular activities to the site. 

According to The Guardian, education minster Christopher Pyne will seek support from his state and territory counterparts to institute the changes.

The overhaul of the site comes after a government commissioned report returned concerns the validity of school comparisons based on NAPLAN data.

The My School website allows parents to access date on nearly 10,000 schools – and includes information on finances, post school outcomes and the number of staff employed at the school. It had been met with controversy over the years due to its performance data being based on the polarising Naplan test results.

5. ‘Coward punch’ perpetrator Kieran Loveridge has been accused of inmate assault. 

The man responsible for killing teenager Thomas Kelly in Kings Cross is allegedly accused of a violent assault on an inmate at Kempsey prison.

Kieran Loveridge was sentenced to ten years in prison after he punched Kelly in the head outside a popular nightspot in 2012. 

The attack generated mass condemnation and saw changes to NSW’s licensing regulations and sentencing related to alcohol-fueled violence.

Corrective Services, New South Wales released this statement today:

“Two inmates have been segregated, been regressed in classification and will be moved to other centres after an assault of another inmate at Mid North Coast Correctional Centre on March 10.

A 21-year-old man and a 22-year-old man allegedly assaulted a third inmate aged 31 in a cell.

The victim received treatment in Kempsey Hospital for facial injuries before returning to the centre.

Police have been notified and are investigating.”

2GB presenter, Ray Hadley, said he received a tip that one of the men in question was Loveridge.

This is yet to be confirmed.

6. Nazi hideout found in the Argentinean jungle.

Archaeologists believe they may have found ruins of a hideout built by Nazis to flee in case of defeat in the second world war.

According to The Guardian,the remains were found in a remote jungle region of Teyu Cuara park in Argentina.

Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have found five german coins minted between 1938 to 1941, and a fragment plate with a ‘made in Germany’ inscription.

The archaeologists team leader, Dnaiel Schavelzon, said that the Nazis has plans to build shelters in case of defeat. 

  “Apparently, halfway through the second world war, the Nazis had a secret project to build shelters for top leaders in the event of defeat – inaccessible sites in the middle of deserts, in the mountains, on a cliff or in the middle of the jungle like this”.

The Hideout was never needed as Argentinian president of the time, Juan Peron, gladly allowed thousands of Nazis and italian and Croatian fascists into the country.
