Members of the Israeli government have approved a four-day ceasefire on Gaza in exchange for the release of 50 Hamas-held hostages.
It says it would extend the ceasefire by an additional day for every 10 hostages that are released.
Hamas says as part of the ceasefire deal 150 Palestinian women and children would be released from jails in Israel.
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has praised the work of police during a pro-Palestinian protest at Port Botany.
Hundreds of Palestinian supporters from trade unions have clashed with police during a protest against an Israeli shipping line.
Police say 23 people were arrested at the unauthorised rally with charges filed against them for failure to comply to a move on direction and damage or disruption to a major facility.
Mr Minns has explained how the police came to make the arrests.
"There was a lawful police order given to the protestors to move on. And it was only after ample time was given to the protestors to leave the roadway and allow commerce to transact in that port were arrests took place."
The remains of a TV camera operator and a pilot who went down with a former military jet that crashed into waters off Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula have been found.
Police have confirmed they discovered the remains of the 30-year-old camera operator, Surrey Hills man James Rose, and 56-year-old pilot Stephen Gale, of Brunswick.
Crews on Monday evening found the wreckage of the plane off the shore of Mornington.
Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth has announced a new $3.3 million initiative to help people with disabilities secure pathways to greater employment opportunities.
The Career Pathways Pilot program will initially aim to employ over 80 people with disabilities across the country, with a focus to reach out to many more.
Ms Rishworth says the program aims to break down barriers for people with disabilities in the workforce.
"It's not any old job that people with disability want to get into. It is a job that they love. A job that they're passionate about. And of course, part of any employment, is career progression. Getting the opportunities to move up in your career, take on new challenges, and new opportunities."
The federal government is considering the implementation of even further measures regarding the people who were released from immigration detention.
Among the newly released detainees are a number of criminals, including murderers and sex offenders.
It comes after a landmark High Court decision that found indefinite immigration detention was unlawful.
Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil has told Channel Seven the government is examining every possible avenue to keep the group under close watch.
"If it were up to me, hey would all still be in detention today, but we've got a High Court ruling telling us that the Australian government must release these people. Now, the job for me is to implement the High Court's decision and to do so in a way that protect's the safety of the Australian community at every single step of the way."
