3. 60 Minutes paid for another child recovery story that never aired.

The botched child recovery story paid for by 60 Minutes involving Sydney mum Sally Faulkner was not the first story of this type 60 Minutes paid for.

News Limited reports that the show had paid for a similar story in 2014 that never went to air.

Liz Hayes covered the earlier story, with an Australian mother successfully taking her child out of Turkey.

During this child ‘recovery’ Hayes and her team waited outside the country as the mother fled by sea.  News Limited reports that 60 Minutes has never been able to run the story after the father launched Family Court proceedings in Australia and alleged the child had been abducted.

In the photo Elamine is smiling alongside the two children Lahela, 5, and Noah, 3, they appear to be in a shopping mall.

He told News Limited the children were in their rightful home.

“The custody, the way it happens is I had sole custody in Lebanon way before the custody in Australia came out,” he said after the deal was sealed.

A new type of “morning after” pill that works five days after unprotected sex will be available in Australia from today.

Fairfax Media reports that the drug,  EllaOne has been launched by Australia's sole supplier of abortion drug RU486.

The drug is recommended to be taken "as soon as possible" after unprotected sex, but it is effective for up to five days.

The new drug is available by prescription only.

Reproductive Choice Australia president Jenny Ejlak told Fairfax Media the drug would most benefit women in rural or remote communities who had greater difficulty accessing the morning-after pill and women in family violence situations.

"They may request it [from a city chemist] the day after, but not receive it for some days or the pharmacy may not stock it," she said.

"In family violence situations, where a woman is not able to leave the house safely, she may not be able to obtain assistance for a few days after the assault."

6. Turnbull slammed after 7.30 interview “What planet is he on?”

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been slammed on social media after suggesting that a plumber who earns $100,000 is not wealthy.

Mr Turnbull was being interviewed on 7.30 last night over negative gearing.

Mr Turnbull told 7.30 the Opposition's plan was "unjust and ill-thought out and reckless", saying wealthy Australians could continue to negatively gear against other investment income.

He told host Leigh Sales the Opposition's plan would deliver the most for higher earners, using the comparison of a plumber earning $100,000 to "a wealthy person".

"Under Labor's plan, a plumber who's earning $100,000 a year would not be able to negative gear an investment property or shares, for that matter, against his income as a plumber," Mr Turnbull said.

"However, a wealthy person with investment income — dividends, rents, interest of $100,000 a year — would be able to negative gear against their investment income.

"So under Labor's plan, workers, people who live, whose income comes from their personal exertion, will not be able to negative gear, but people whose income comes from investments will. Now, how is that fair?"

People on social media blasted Mr Turnbull.

"@TurnbullMalcolm thinks a plumber earning 100k isn't wealthy. Like srsly [sic], what planet is he on?" one wrote.

Another:"A plumber earning $100k ... I'm an executive in #disability and don't earn that much. What plumber makes 100k?"

7. All 12 new submarines to be built in Australia.

All 12 of the new submarines to be built by French ship maker, DCNS will be built in South Australia the government has announced, even though France has said that this would be a slower and more expensive option.

Yesterday the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull announced that the decision to award the $50 billion submarine contract went to French shipbuilder DCNS

But The Australian reports it will be at least 15 years before the first of the new French-designed, Australian-built submarines is fully operational, meaning the ageing Collins-class boats will need to have their lifespan increased at a cost of up to $4bn.

The decision to build all of the submarines in Adelaide will see hundreds of construction workers benefit.

8. Inquest into Britain’s worst sporting disaster finds fans were unlawfully killed.

An inquest into Britain’s worst ever sporting disaster has found that the 96 football fans, aged between 10-years-old and 67, who died as a result of a crush were unlawfully killed.

The inquest into the Hillsborough disaster, 27 years on found match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care.

Police errors also added to a dangerous situation at the FA Cup semi-final.

After a 27-year campaign by victims' families, the behaviour of Liverpool fans was exonerated.

The jury found they did not contribute to the danger unfolding at the turnstiles at the Leppings Lane end of Sheffield Wednesday's ground on 15 April 1989.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron said the inquests had provided "official confirmation" fans were "utterly blameless".

The jury, answering 14 questions about events, said South Yorkshire police’s planning for the match and actions on the day did contribute to the disaster. They also found blame in ambulance crews, the state of the stadium, and Sheffield Wednesday, whose ground it was.
