At least 36 re-edited stories have now been identified during an RNZ review.

An anti-corruption watchdog will hand down its long-awaited findings into former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian next week.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) report, two and a half years in the making, will be released at 9am next Thursday.

"The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will furnish its Operation Keppel investigation report, concerning the then member of Parliament for Wagga Wagga, the then premier, and others, to the Presiding Officers at the NSW Parliament on Thursday, 29 June 2023 at 9am," ICAC said in a statement today.

The ICAC inquiry examined whether Berejiklian had breached public trust while she was in a secret relationship with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.

The relationship was revealed publicly for the first time during questioning at the ICAC hearings. 

Berejiklian announced her shock resignation as premier in October 2021 after it emerged she was under investigation.

She has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

Maguire had been forced to quit NSW parliament in July 2018 after a corruption inquiry scrutinised his property deals.

The report's release has been delayed twice, once in October last year and again in January, due to the "complex matters of law and fact".

The findings have been made after two public inquiries over 30 days of hearings, more than 2800 pages of transcript, 516 exhibits containing 10,600 pages and 957 pages of submissions.

Crews searching for the missing Titan submersible have heard banging sounds, according to the US Coast Guard, who confirmed that Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area.

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises, the coast guard said, but those searches "yielded negative results".

The ROVs will continue to search areas where bangs were heard every 30 minutes on Tuesday (local time), and then again four hours later.

The coast guard said data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with US Navy experts for further analysis which will be considered in future search plans.

News of a potential major development began to circulate this afternoon after an internal government memo detailed sonar devices had been deployed because of the reports of "banging".

A later report also suggested more sounds had been heard after the first round of noises, though those reports were not described as "banging."

A Canadian P3 aircraft also located a white rectangular object in the water, according to a memo update, but another ship set to investigate was diverted to help research the acoustic feedback instead.

OceanGate said they had no information to share on this when reached for comment, according to reports.

In a letter posted on social media, a private US exploration group called the Explorers Club said "signs of life" should breathe fresh optimism into the frantic search effort, appearing to reference reports of banging.

"We have much greater confidence that there is cause for hope, based on data from the field — we understand that likely signs of life have been detected at the site," the letter written by club president Richard Garriot said.

Two of those on the missing submersible – billionaire businessman Hamish Harding and French underwater adventurer Paul-Henri Nargeolet – are members of the club. 

Rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean are racing to find the missing submersible, which was carrying five people on a mission to the wreckage of the Titanic.

The carbon-fibre submersible, named the Titan, part of a mission by OceanGate Expeditions, carried a pilot, a renowned British adventurer, two members of an iconic Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert.

Authorities reported the vessel overdue on Sunday night about 700km south of St John's, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland.

Every passing minute puts the Titan's crew at greater risk.

There is only around 24 hours of oxygen left in the vessel.

Search efforts have "not yielded any results", Captain Jamie Frederick of the First Coast Guard District Response Department said during a press conference today.

Journalist David Pogue, who travelled to the Titanic aboard the Titan last year, said the vehicle uses two communication systems: text messages that go back and forth to a surface ship and safety pings that are emitted every 15 minutes to indicate that the sub is still working.

Both of those systems stopped about an hour and 45 minutes after the Titan submerged.

"There are only two things that could mean. Either they lost all power or the ship developed a hull breach and it imploded instantly. Both of those are devastatingly hopeless," Pogue told CBC on Tuesday.

Experts said the rescuers face steep challenges.

Alistair Greig, a professor of marine engineering at University College London, said submersibles typically have a drop weight, which is "a mass they can release in the case of an emergency to bring them up to the surface using buoyancy".

"If there was a power failure and/or communication failure, this might have happened, and the submersible would then be bobbing about on the surface waiting to be found," Greig said.

Another scenario is a leak in the pressure hull, in which case the prognosis is not good, he said.

"If it has gone down to the seabed and can't get back up under its own power, options are very limited," Greig said.

"While the submersible might still be intact, if it is beyond the continental shelf, there are very few vessels that can get that deep, and certainly not divers."

Even if they could go that deep, he doubts rescuers could attach to the submersible.

By Tuesday morning, an area totalling about 26,000 square kilometres had been searched.

The Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince, which was supporting the Titan, reportedly lost contact with the vessel about an hour and 45 minutes after it submerged.

The Polar Prince was to continue to do surface searches throughout the night and a Canadian Boeing P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft will resume their surface and subsurface search in the morning, the US Coast Guard said on Twitter.

Two US Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft also have conducted overflights.

The Canadian military also dropped sonar buoys to listen for any possible sounds from the Titan.

Ship-tracking satellite data from MarineTraffic.com showed the Polar Prince some 690 kilometres south-east of St John's on Tuesday morning.

The Bahamas-flagged cable layer Deep Energy was nearby as well, likely assisting in the surface search.

In an earlier email to the AP, Concannon said officials were working to get a remotely operated vehicle that can reach a depth of 6 kilometres to the site as soon as possible.

OceanGate's expeditions to the Titanic wreck site include archaeologists and marine biologists.

The company also brings people who pay to come along, known as "mission specialists."

They take turns operating sonar equipment and performing other tasks in the five-person submersible.

OceanGate said its focus was on those aboard and their families.

"We are deeply thankful for the extensive assistance we have received from several government agencies and deep sea companies in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible," it said in a statement.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who was also on the missing submersible, told The Associated Press in June 2021 that each dive would typically include a pilot, a researcher and three mission specialists.

He said the mission specialists would operate sonar equipment and cameras as well as handle communications and possibly drive the Titan.

"We have a text messaging system — actually two of them," he said.

"So, someone will be on communication, typing messages back and forth.

"And then everybody, conditions permitting, will get to drive the sub.

"So, assuming that the visibility is pretty good and the currents aren't bad, and we're not next to the wreck, they'll have a chance to drive the sub."

Rush called the Titan's technology "very cutting edge" and said it was developed with the help of NASA and Boeing and a number of aerospace manufacturers.

"This is the only submersible — crude submersible — that's made of carbon fibre and titanium; the largest carbon fibre structure that we know of. It's 5-inch-thick carbon fibre, three-and-a-quarter inch thick titanium," Rush said.

Authorities have yet to formally identify those on board, though some names have been confirmed.

British businessman Harding, who lives in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, was one of the mission specialists, according to Action Aviation, a company for which Harding serves as chairman.

Harding is a billionaire adventurer who holds three Guinness World Records, including the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel.

In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo dived to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench. In June 2022, he went into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.

Also on board were Pakistani nationals Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, according to a family statement sent to the AP.

The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families.

Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector.

French explorer and Titanic expert Nargeolet also was on board, according to David Gallo, a senior adviser for strategic initiatives and special projects at RMS Titanic.

Gallo identified Nargeolet, a friend who has led multiple expeditions to the Titanic, on Tuesday during an interview with CNN.

According to the company's website, Rush became the youngest jet transport-rated pilot in the world in 1981, aged 19.

The expedition was OceanGate's third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2200 passengers and crew.

Since the wreckage's discovery in 1985, it has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria.

Some have predicted the ship could vanish in a matter of decades as holes yawn in the hull and sections disintegrate.

OceanGate's website had described the "mission support fee" for the 2023 expedition as $US250,000 ($360,000) a person.

In a May 2021 court filing, OceanGate said the Titan had an "unparalleled safety feature" that assesses the integrity of the hull throughout every dive.

The submersible is capable of diving four kilometres "with a comfortable safety margin," OceanGate said in the court filing.

It weighs about 9000 kilograms in the air, but is ballasted to be neutrally buoyant once it reaches the seafloor, the company said.

During its expedition in 2022, OceanGate reported that the submersible had a battery issue on its first dive, and had to be manually attached to its lifting platform, according to a November court filing.

More missions, however, followed.

OceanGate has described the submersible as a "state-of-the-art vessel" that "is lighter, more spacious and more comfortable than any other deep-diving submersible exploring the ocean today".

But the custom-built, titanium-domed Titan represented a risk.

Recalling his own trip aboard the Titan, Pogue said the vessel got turned around looking for the Titanic.

"There's no GPS underwater, so the surface ship is supposed to guide the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages," Pogue said.

"But on this dive, communications somehow broke down.

"The sub never found the wreck."

National auto repair retailer mycar Tyre and Auto has paid a $1 million penalty after it sent 1.7 million emails and texts, which did not have a working unsubscribe button.

Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) said the company paid $1,047,000 for the text and emails it sent between January and August last year, which did not comply with spam laws.

The retailer sent 1.45 million messages without the unsubscribe button, 276,000 emails where people had to provide vehicle registration details to opt out of receiving further messages and almost 5000 messages to customers who had already asked to unsubscribe.

READ MORE: Why a series of cold snaps doesn't rule out a 'warmer winter' for Australia

ACMA Chair Nerida O'Loughlin said the inability to easily opt out of receiving mycar's commercial messaging let to significant levels of consumer frustration.

"In one campaign mycar sent more than 1 million text messages that didn't have an unsubscribe function," O'Loughlin said.

"This is unacceptable, especially from a well-established national retailer.

"The action taken by the ACMA on this matter, as well as our recent action against the Commonwealth Bank, sends a strong message that we will continue to hold businesses to account for spam breaches."

She said ACMA would conduct an independent review of its e-marketing procedures to implement improvements.

"mycar must also provide regular compliance reports to the ACMA and train its staff on Australia's spam laws."

Marketing messages have required an unsubscribe message since 2003.

Businesses have paid $11 million in penalties for breaching spam and telemarketing laws in the past 18 months, including a penalty of over $3.55 million paid by the Commonwealth Bank in June.

WARNING: Some people may find this story upsetting.

Bridget Quartermain heard her bone crunch as she used a child's plastic trike to try to fend off a frenzied dog with its jaws locked onto her lower leg.

Alone in the lounge of her friend's Christchurch home, the 32-year-old could see her blood around the muzzle of the white dog, as she screamed for help.

"I thought I was going to die," she told Stuff while fighting back tears.

READ MORE: Sydney's coldest day in years anticipated as snowfall seen from space

Nearly a week on from the savage attack, which ended when police shot the dog twice, Quartermain remains in hospital, and has months of recovery ahead of her.

She has a broken leg and a broken hand, and has undergone multiple surgeries to repair several gaping bite wounds.

Quartermain said that on Wednesday last week, she and her three-year-old rescue dog, Zeppelin, who rarely left her side, went to visit her friend at her home in Truman Rd, Bryndwr.

Two dogs lived at the Kāinga Ora-owned property – Cocaine and Cruz. Zeppelin got on well with Cocaine, but not Cruz.

Quartermain said she messaged her friend before she arrived to make sure Cruz was locked away in the backyard.

However, after several hours, Cruz somehow got into the house, and he and Zeppelin began fighting.

After Quartermain grabbed her dog, and wrapped her arms around him, Cruz attacked her, latching onto the back of her left leg.

"Help me, help me," she cried out.

But rather than coming to her aide, Quartermain claimed her friend inexplicably fled outside, a claim the friend vehemently denies.

"When I was left alone, I didn't know what the f– I was going to do. I was calling for help. I was saying 'no Cruz' … but he just lock-jawed on me."

Quartermain said she punched the dog, and used a child's trike in defence as she tried desperately to escape his grasp.

She even put her right hand inside Cruz's mouth to try and get him to let go.

"I just couldn't get him off."

As blood drained from the bite wounds on Quartermain's leg, she became weak.

"I could hear all my bones going [crunch]. I was like f— my life, I'm going to die, this is it."

But neighbours heard Quartermain screaming and someone called the police. A teenager who lived nearby soon arrived and tried unsuccessfully to stop the attack using a road cone.

When officers appeared at the entrance to the lounge a short time later, about 6pm, Quartermain's blood was smeared on the walls, and Cruz was still mauling her.

"They said something about having to shoot him, and I was like please shoot him. I was just so scared.

"As soon as the second shot happened, and I felt the pressure release … that's when I just blacked out."

Speaking from her hospital bed on Monday, Quartermain, a self-described animal lover, said she was devastated that Cruz was shot, but the police officers who attended were left with little choice.

She's upset at reports suggesting she'd turned up to the property with Zeppelin unannounced, was somehow to blame for the attack, and wasn't badly injured.

"All this stuff I keep hearing that I wasn't invited … that's bullshit.

"If [my friend] had stayed and helped, the situation would have been much different. I've seen her control him (Cruz) before. All she needed to do was assert her dominance. Any animal will listen to the alpha. It made no sense to me that she left."

Quartermain said Cruz's owner, a gang member who wasn't at the property when she was attacked, had visited her in hospital and apologised for what had happened.

"We sat together, and we cried, and we looked at photos of Cruz."

She had not heard from her friend since the incident.

The woman told Stuff she disputed some of Quartermain's account.

She said that she did everything in her power to try and stop the attack, including punching and wrestling Cruz. When she couldn't, she left the house to try and get help. "What was I supposed to do, sit there and watch him kill her?"

The woman said she believed Quartermain provoked the attack, as Cruz in her words "may look scary, but … at heart he's a big baby".

"It shocked me. I've never seen [Cruz] act like that in my life."

Although not in the house when police arrived, the woman said witnesses had told her Cruz was not biting Quartermain when the dog was shot. She believed non-lethal methods could have been used to defuse the situation.

The woman said she hadn't contacted Quartermain since the incident because she blamed her for Cruz's death. "[Zeppelin and Cruz] had already had fights. She shouldn't have brought him around."

However, after learning of the extent of her injuries from Stuff, she said she planned to reach out to her.

Quartermain, a Type-1 diabetic, has no idea when she will be released from hospital.

Her left leg is broken just below the knee, while her right hand – the one she put inside Cruz's mouth – is also fractured.

Quartermain said her dog Zeppelin, who suffered two puncture wounds to one of his legs, was being looked after by her mother and sister.

On Wednesday, Sergeant Aaron Campbell said Cruz was still biting Quartermain when officers arrived at the Truman Rd property, and immediate action was required to save her life.

The officers assessed the situation and made the difficult decision to shoot the dog to "ensure the threat was neutralised".

Campbell said inquiries were ongoing, and it was too early to say if any charges would be laid.

Exclusive: Even though it's cold, Toni Maree tries not to turn the heating on.

It's not that she likes the chill, there's just no room in her stretched monthly budget for growing energy bills.

Instead, to keep warm, she and her partner huddle on the couch under a blanket inside their NSW rental.

READ MORE: Why this old Sydney rule is blocking you from getting cheaper airfares

She could stay in bed, taking refuge under the duvet, but Maree is working three jobs, sometimes clocking up 70 hours each week, so there's not a lot of time for lying around.

"It's definitely a luxury to turn on a heater or something," she told 9news.com.au, "but we just simply can't afford it."

Toughing out the freeze isn't the only extraordinary action Maree has begun to adopt as normal to try and make ends meet each month.

Her eating habits are changing.

She's skipping breakfast and sometimes picks up the food a local cafe gives away.

Maree also has celiac disease, a chronic digestive and immune disorder.

She should avoid eating foods containing gluten but that's a line she's now crossing.

"I'm actually starting to re-eat gluten because it's cheaper than eating gluten-free," she said, adding that money is a "constant worry" in her busy life.

At the end of the week, after working a full-time job at a bottle store, cleaning four nights a week at a factory and a third casual job, Maree is left with $75 after paying all her bills.

The unexpected bills not included in the budget blow a hole in her finances and send her deeper into debt.

"I'm very tired a majority of the time because as soon as I finish one job, I'll go to another," she said.

"It's sort of never-ending."

Maree is far from alone.

Divisive social media personality Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, have been charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women, prosecutors in Romania said on Tuesday.

Romania's anti-organised crime agency, DIICOT, said prosecutors filed the charges against the brothers, who are both British-US dual citizens, along with two Romanian women.

In a statement, the agency said that the four defendants formed a criminal group in 2021 "in order to commit the crime of human trafficking" in Romania as well as the United States and Britain. It alleged that seven female victims were misled and transported to Romania, where they were sexually exploited and subjected to physical violence by the gang.

READ MORE: What could possibly have gone wrong with the missing submersible?

The Tate brothers and the two Romanian suspects were detained in late December in Romania's capital Bucharest.

The brothers won an appeal on March 31 to be moved from police custody to house arrest.

Tate, 36, is a professional kickboxer with millions of Twitter followers.

He has resided in Romania since 2017, and was previously banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.

He has repeatedly claimed Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and alleged their case is a political conspiracy designed to silence him.

Prosecutors have ordered the confiscation of assets from the Tate brothers including 15 luxury cars, luxury watches and about $US3 million ($4.43 million) they held in cryptocurrency, the agency's statement said.

On Tuesday, Tate's spokesperson Mateea Petrescu said the brothers were prepared to "demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation".

"Tate's legal team are prepared to cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities, presenting all necessary evidence to exonerate the brothers and expose any misinterpretations or false accusations," Petrescu said.

A kangaroo has been filmed taking an afternoon dip in Queensland as amazed onlookers filmed the special encounter.

"Oh my god … hey Skippy," she said in the video.

Edwards later described the encounter as a "magical moment".

"We just felt really full of gratitude and like we'd been welcomed to his patch," she said.

The kangaroo later hopped out of the water and had a quick shake to dry off before it left the beach.

"I think he may have gone up for a sundowner at the pub," Edwards said.

A new photography project showcasing the beauty of older Australians is proving it's never too late to be glamorous.

NSW photographer Shannon Smith is capturing senior citizens aged 80 and over and providing families with professional photographs of their loved ones.

"The Golden Age portraits as I call them are the opportunity to preserve the memories of a generation that really didn't have much but really made the most of the situations that they were placed in," Smith said.

The project is a labor of love for the Lake Macquarie-based professional.

"It was never about the money for me," Smith said.

"I didn't want anyone to miss out purely because their family wasn't in the situation to be able to pay for it.

"That's why I just took that out of the equation altogether."

Smith said the project is a chance to share the stories of people with "so much substance" which makes the work "the most soul-satisfying work you could do".

"They have lived through some incredible times and they've had so little," she said.

"If we don't document it, that is gone once they leave this earth.

A Pakistani millionaire and his teenage son are two of the five people trapped on the submersible that went missing on a deep-sea trip to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

Businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman, researcher Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Stockton Rush (the CEO of OceanGate, the company that ran the expedition) and British billionaire Hamish Harding are the five men onboard the missing vessel, named the Titan.

The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families. Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector.

READ MORE: What could have gone wrong with missing submersible?

"We are very grateful for the concern being shown by our colleagues and friends and would like to request everyone to pray for their safety while granting the family privacy at this time," a family statement said.

"The family is well looked after and are praying to Allah for the safe return of their family members."

The statement also said that, "as of now, contact has been lost with their submersible craft and there is limited information available".

Shahzada Dawood also is on the board of trustees for the California-based SETI Institute that searches for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Nargeolet is a Titanic expert who, according to an archived version of OceanGate's website, has made the trip to view the wreckage every year and completed more than 37 dives.

The 77-year-old is one of the world's leading historians on the infamous cruise liner, and is also a former navy commander.

Rush is an OceanGate co-founder and board member who, according to the company's website, became the youngest jet transport-rated pilot in the world in 1981, aged 19.

He is listed by the company as overseeing its "financial and engineering strategies and provides a clear vision for development of 4000-metre and 6000-metre-capable crewed submersibles and their partner launch and recovery platforms".

British businessman Harding, who lives in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, was one of the mission specialists, according to Action Aviation, a company for which Harding serves as chairman.

The company's managing director, Mark Butler, told the Associated Press that the crew set out on Friday.

"There is still plenty of time to facilitate a rescue mission, there is equipment on board for survival in this event," Butler said.

"We're all hoping and praying he comes back safe and sound."

Harding is a billionaire adventurer who holds three Guinness World Records, including the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel.

In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo dived to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench.

In June 2022, he went into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.

Harding was "looking forward to conducting research" at the Titanic site, said Richard Garriott de Cayeux, the president of The Explorers Club, a group to which Harding belonged.

"We all join in the fervent hope that the submersible is located as quickly as possible," he said in a statement.

Communication with the Titan was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive on Sunday (local time).

A rescue mission involving both the US and Canadian coast guards was launched late that same day.

The vessel has between 70 and 96 hours of life support, according to John Mauger from the US Coast Guard.
