Today's Highlighted Video Story: Federal Communications Minister Paul Fletcher joins News Breakfast to discuss Facebook's decision to restrict publishers and people in Australia from sharing or viewing Australian and international news content.
Focus of the Day Article: The government has extended the current ban on evictions until the end
of March – a decision that has been cautiously welcomed by housing
lawyers who remain concerned that tenants can still be made homeless due
to Covid-related rent arrears. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government announced over the weekend that the ban on bailiff evictions has
been extended until 31 March. Exemptions to the ban include illegal
occupation, anti-social behaviour and rent arrears of six months or
more. Landlords must give six months’ notice before starting possession
proceedings. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
