Erik de Haart, who survived and heroically helped save others in the 2002 Bali bombings, has died.

Coogee Dolphins club president Wayne Hack shared the news with "profound sadness" that de Haart had died suddenly.

"Erik was a loyal servant, life member and sponsor of our club," he said.

"He will forever be remembered in the immediate aftermath of the Bali tragedy of 2002 as a hero.

"The Coogee Dolphins would like to extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to Erik's immediate and extended family and his many friends."

Haart and his rugby league club teammates had arrived in Bali and were at the Sari Club on October 12, 2002.

That night, two bombs orchestrated by terrorist groups exploded at the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar.

A total of 202 people, including 88 Australians, were killed and another 240 people were injured.

A third bomb struck near the US consulate in Denpasar.

de Haart lost six of his friends but helped save others and pull them from the burning ruins of the Sari Club. 

"I heard these girls crying for help, screaming. They were behind a section of the roof that had fallen in," de Haart told AAP in 2016.

"The flames from the burning thatch were probably knee to mid-thigh high. I had to make a decision.

"Do I try and get them out and perhaps die in the attempt?

"I had to walk away and leave those girls to die and it's something that's haunted me for a long, long time … It's made me feel like an impostor.

"People say 'you're a hero'. And I remember those girls and I don't think I'm a hero."

Various members of the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah were convicted over the bombings and three were sentenced to death.

A Sydney nurse who allegedly threatened to harm Israeli patients in a video with a social media influencer has apologised again through his lawyer and vowed to cooperate with police.

Police are still working to determine if any charges can be laid against nurses Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh after the video emerged last week.

Today, Nadir's lawyer Mohamad Sakr apologised once again on behalf of his client.

"By no means does he protect what he has done or hide from it," he said.

"He does not represent a community of faith."

Detectives have yet to formally interview both nurses after only receiving the full video from an Israeli influencer over the weekend. 

Sakr told 9News that Nadir is planning on attending Bankstown Police Station once he is mentally fit to do so. 

"He is more than happy to cooperate with police," he said.

Western Australian Senator Fatima Payman condemned the nurses for their "terrible comment" but said they are being treated as if they had "committed the absolute worst crime imaginable".

"The prime minister has commented. Premiers and ministers have weighed in. The entire media landscape has been consumed by the story, front page news around the country for days on end," she said in a social media video.

"These individuals have been fired, banned from ever working as nurses again, raided by police, placed under the most intense public scrutiny, and now [they are] the ones being hospitalised.

"They've apologised, they've been punished. What is the end goal here? What exactly are we trying to achieve justice or just public humiliation?"

Payman compared the treatment the nurses have received to The Daily Telegraph's alleged failed stunt with a Jewish activist at Cairo Takeaway in Newtown last week.

"If we hold two 20-somethings accountable, how can we allow a major media organisation to get off scot-free?" she said.

Payman's comments echoed a statement from the Lebanese Muslim Association, saying the controversy isn't about what was said in the video of the nurses, but instead "the speed, intensity and uniformity of response" from the government and the media and the "calculated and politically-motivated outrage".

A legal loophole that allowed alleged murderers to argue they killed someone in self-defence while affected by self-induced intoxication will soon be closed in South Australia.

The campaign for the law change was spearheaded by the family of Synamin Bell, whose killer, Cody Edwards, successfully used the defence to have his murder charge downgraded to manslaughter.

Edwards was given an 11-year sentence over Bell's death.

"It's heartbreaking. This guy is going to be out pretty much at the turn of the decade, and he shouldn't be out," said the victim's brother, Paul.

The family launched a fight for the legal loophole to be closed, and today were successful, when South Australian Attorney-General Kyam Maher announced the introduction of "Synamin's Law".

It will prevent killers from arguing self-defence when their psychosis is brought on by their own decision to take drugs.

"I think all South Australians were shocked with many aspects of this case," Maher said. 

"No one should have to go through what Synamin Bell's family and friends have gone through."

The closing of the legal loophole has been welcomed by the family, who say they'll now have some peace knowing their fight will help others.

"We've paid the ultimate price. But hopefully the price we paid means no one else has to pay that price," Paul Bell said.

A historic coin worth $525,000 that was stolen from a Polish museum has finally been returned by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) after it ended up in the hands of a Perth collector.

The 1813 Holey Dollar coin was stolen from a museum collection in Toruń, Poland, sometime between 2011 and 2018, leading Polish authorities to run a global investigation to track it down.

They discovered it had been exported into Germany, where it was offered for sale in two auctions.

It then made its way to Melbourne, Australia, where it was sold at auction to an Australian collector in Perth for $525,000.

The AFP, in cooperation with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, seized the coin in Perth on August 26 last year after the owner was identified through the most recent seller, an Australian company specialising in rare coins.

The coin was then surrendered to the AFP willingly.

"It is not expected any Australian-based individuals will face criminal charges, as all local transactions were made in good faith," an AFP spokesperson said.

"All parties were unaware at the time the coin had been stolen."

The coin was formally returned to representatives of the Polish government by Arts Minister Tony Burke on behalf of the Australian government at a ceremony at the Embassy of Poland on February 14.

It is believed to be the first time Australian law enforcement has arranged the return of a cultural object to the European nation.

The coin is significant to Poland, and the Regional Museum of Toruń, for historical, cultural, and monetary reasons.

It was struck from a Spanish silver dollar minted at the Mexico Mint in 1777 during the reign of King Charles III of Spain.

It is also of significance to Australia as Holey Dollars were created to address a shortage of coins in the then-colony of New South Wales.

Marcin Kawałowski, Poland's chargé d'affaires in Australia, praised the AFP's efforts to have the object returned to his country.

"As a diplomat, I obviously recognise the importance of official agreements and political declarations, but it gives me great satisfaction when I can witness the practical dimension of successful bilateral cooperation," he said.

Through protests, pandemics, and supply and skill shortages, obstruction of construction has made building houses in Australia harder.

Local, state, and federal governments are being urged to reduce red tape around housing construction by a new report from the Productivity Commission.

It says the move would speed up planning and approval processes, encourage innovation like pre-fabricated housing, and target trades with training and migration.

"The reality is they have had those conversations – we have not seen substantive change," Master Builders chief executive Deneta Wawn told 9News.

The company, which acts as the premier association for the building and construction industry across each state, has launched their own in-school program encouraging students into trades.

"40 odd trades can be involved in one house and if you don't have them all coming in at the right time one after the other than you will lose time and time is money," said Wawn.

The building industry faced several blows last year, including an investigation by 60 Minutes and the Sydney Morning Herald into alleged corruption, intimidation, and links to criminal gangs within the CFMEU's construction division.

Shortly after, the federal government announced its decision to put the construction branch of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) into administration, with workers striking in protest across the country.

Removing red tape to allow more houses built would mean more houses to buy, as seemingly everyone eyes the reserve bank ahead of a rate decision tomorrow.

To help, the property council is tonight calling for interest rates to be capped for first home buyers, as well as lower deposits.

"It's the perfect first step in a market that really does need the attention of both sides of the parliament," Property Council chief executive Mike Zorbas said.

But as of now, neither side is considering it.

The defendant was allegedly found with 11kg of meth, $600,000 in cash and 17 cellphones.

There have been instances of sand, rocks and apples thrown at the animals.
