Transport NSW has issued a "stark reminder" for pedestrians and motorists to remain alert, releasing footage of multiple close encounters on roads across the state as part of a safety campaign.

The Be Bus Aware campaign is a strategy aimed at raising awareness surrounding the safety of NSW's most accessible form of transport.

Transport for NSW Coordinator-General, Howard Collins, said more than 345 million trips are taken by bus each year across more than 800 of the vehicles statewide.

"Buses are large, heavy vehicles and can't stop quickly, so all road users need to give them space," Collins said.

"Do not cut in front of or tailgate a bus, and take extra care when travelling in a bus's blind spot, as the driver may not be able to see you.

"The footage released today is a stark reminder for both motorists and pedestrians to always be bus aware.

"When out walking, stay alert.

"Cross the road at a safe place, such as a pedestrian crossing or traffic lights, or somewhere with a good line of sight, to see approaching traffic, and so they can see you, and never step out in front of a bus."

Between 2021 and 2025, there have been 45 fatalities from bus crashes across NSW.

Among the deaths were 12 drivers of other vehicles, 10 pedestrians and four motorcyclists. 

As part of Bus Safety Week, NSW Transport will raise awareness by displaying safety messages across social media, audio messages, visual signage at train stations and on major overhead roads.

City of Sydney Council is rolling back divisive changes to the busking code, including busking bans across much of George Street, just months after they were implemented.

Hordes of Sydney buskers hit back at the "crazy" restrictions, including singer Ula Venckus, who goes by Ūla.

Venckus built her career busking in the CBD and feared the sweeping overhauls would cripple buskers financially and professionally.

"There are a lot of older musicians and buskers in the Sydney CBD and this is genuinely the only thing they do, this is their livelihood," Venckus told nine.com.au at the time.

"This is basically like being fired with no warning and no explanation."

A surprising new trend has emerged in the face of 'doomscrolling', 'bed rotting' and algorithms that seem designed to keep us glued to our screens: analogue bags.

It's a trendy term for what is essentially just a bag of ordinary stuff, but it's taken off on social media in a big way over the last few months.

And it could suggest young people are looking to take a break from the increasingly digital world.

That's what attracted millennial Keely Jover, 31, to the trend.

"It's a whole movement of creating a whimsical life," she told nine.com.au.

"Romanticising the mundane, creating magical moments for my children and lowering screentime."

What is an analogue bag?

According t o the Millennials and Gen Zs jumping on the trend, analogue bags are full of everything you could need to stay offline.

Popular items include books, crosswords, sudoku and other puzzles, knitting or crocheting supplies, journals and crafts.

Many of the items are just 'analogue' versions of things you can do on your phone anyway, like physical books or crosswords instead of mobile puzzle apps or e-books.

US President Donald Trump's son Eric has unveiled the design for a new Trump tower on Queensland's Gold Coast, describing it as "soon [to] be the tallest building in Australia".

Developers have given the green light for the $1.5 billion six-star Trump hotel to be added to the skyline overlooking Surfers Paradise beach.

Businessman Eric confirmed his father's company's plans to build Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast and shared an image of the proposed luxury hotel on X.

"I am so proud to announce what will soon be the tallest building in Australia – Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast," Eric wrote.

"This marks our first venture into Australia – an extraordinary country in every respect – and I couldn't be more excited to help shape its iconic skyline forever."

The Trump International Hotel & Tower will be 340 metres and 91 storeys high, Altus Property Group Pty Ltd said.

Altus chief executive David Young said he signed the deal on February 14 at Trump's Florida home but that the development had been 20 years in the making.

"We are now deeply into a process of design, engineering, construction and fit-out that will cost a shade under $1.5 billion and bring the world's preeminent hotel-resort brand to our shores," Young said.

"This project is entirely funded by private investors who come from Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE and the United States."

Gold Coast Acting Mayor Mark Hammel said he supported the plans for a Trump hotel.

"We welcome investment in the city, it shows confidence in our city and ultimately creates jobs," he told nine.com.au in a statement.

"A formal development application will be required, and we look forward to considering the application once it is received."

Local reaction to the announcement, however, has been swift and varied.

Competing petitions have been launched both for and against a Trump hotel to be erected on the famous beach.

A petition urging Gold Coast City Council and the Queensland Government to reject the development plans and block the proposed Trump tower has already garnered over 23,000 signatures.

"There is growing concern about proposals to build a Trump-branded tower in Surfers Paradise," the Change.org peition states.

"Beyond issues of over-development, environmental impact, and pressure on local infrastructure, many residents are deeply uncomfortable with the Trump brand and what it represents."

A second petition was also launched in support of the hotel.

This pro-Trump petition, signed by 3240 people at the time of writing, states that the proposed hotel "holds immense potential to transform the local economic landscape and propel the region into a thriving hub of activity and opportunity".

"We believe that the Trump Tower project could usher in a new era of prosperity and innovation for the Gold Coast," the petition starter added.

Trump Hotels, which has over 130 hotels around the world, confirmed the development is "coming soon".

A third of the building is set to be apartments starting at $5 million, although a price tag for penthouses is yet to be set.

Shops and a beach club will also be integrated into the resort.

The UK government has quietly revealed a loophole which may allow dual British-Australian citizens to travel back home on an expired UK passport.

From tomorrow, the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme will be fully enforced following a long grace period – meaning travellers from dozens of countries, including Australia, need to pay £16 ($32) for a visa waiver.

British and Irish citizens, however, won't need to apply for an ETA to visit.

"We've got a couple of parents involved, which is unacceptable and we won't tolerate it."

Footage taken and shared by 2GB's Mark Levy shows the melee erupting when players from the Port Macquarie and Wollongong under-17 teams shook hands after their game last Saturday.

Insults were exchanged, triggering the intervention of adult spectators who stormed onto the middle of the field as chaos erupted.

Part of the footage shows a man in a white shirt running in and hitting a player from the side before he is thrown to the ground.

Harrigan thinks an insult between the teenage players may have sparked the brawl, but says officials from Australian OzTag are still investigating.

"We'll sift through all the video that we've received, the reports that we've got from the officials … It could be more life bans," he said.

Harrigan said those involved in the violence ignored signs warning spectators to respect players and referees and remain on the sidelines.
