The federal government has announced it will spend $600,000,000 on boosting pensions for older Australians, under long-awaited changes to deeming rates. The government says the changes will mean couples will be more than $1000 a year better off, while singles will benefit by up to $800. Labor¹ says the changes don't go far enough.

Asylum² seeker advocates are calling for an independent inquiry³ into the circumstances surrounding the death of a man at a Melbourne detention⁴ centre.

The ABC understands he had been in Australia for six years after first arriving as an unaccompanied minor⁵.

Police say the disappearance⁶ of a man in Marysville, north-east of Melbourne, is out of character as concerns grow for his welfare. 21-year-old Indian national Poshik Sharma had a disagreement with friends on Thursday and was last seen leaving the Duck Inn. Conditions have been very cold and wet for the search.
