Attorney-General Michelle Rowland says the federal government and security agencies are closely monitoring the IS-linked families who want to return to Australia.The ABC understands 11 families of jailed or killed Islamic State fighters have returned to a camp in Syria after trying to begin their journey back to Australia on Monday.It's not yet clear whether the families will attempt the trip again in the coming days.Michelle Rowland has re-iterated the government will not repatriate the cohort.A new report from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals racism is widespread and systemic in Australian universities76,000 students and staff from 42 Australian universities took part in the Racism-at-Uni study, which found 15 per cent of respondents have experienced direct racism, while 70 per cent reported experiencing indirect racism.The survey reports only 11 universities have advanced, standalone racism strategies, and makes 47 recommendations calling for a national anti-racism framework.A man has undergone emergency surgery after surviving an early morning drive by shooting outside the family home in south-west Sydney.Police are refusing to confirm the victim was former rugby league star Matt Utai, but the Canterbury Bulldogs have released a statement saying the club is praying for Utai and hopes he makes a full recovery.Police say the 44 year old was hit in the upper body and leg when a gunman opened fire from an SUV as he left home for work at 6 this morning.

New South Wales police has decided not to extend restrictions on protests in Sydney, a week after officers and protesters clashed in the city centre.The controversial laws grant police the power to refuse public protests for up to 90 days after a terrorist incident and have been in place since the Bondi attack.The restrictions do not outright ban protests but remove certain legal protections for protesters, particularly those marching through the streets.They've been widely criticised by civil liberty groups and activists.Meanwhile police in Sydney say they're looking for a driver and offender after a former NRL player was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting.Matt Utai's recovering in hospital after the shooting in the suburb of Greenacre.Police say they don't believe he's involved in organised crime, but are still investigating if he was meant to be the target of the shooting.Utai played for Wests Tigers and the Canterbury Bulldogs during his career which included premiership.Highly sensitive Australian court files have been accessed by foreign actors in breach of the law and contract obligations, prompting fears of a national security risk.An ABC investigation found court files have been accessed by contractors based in India, without the knowledge of the courts.Federal Greens senator David Shoebridge says the information in the wrong hands could do incredible damage.The federal court says it's looking into the matter.

Billy joins us for a cool chat! Best of is presented by Pirtek. 

Victoria's bracing for extreme fire weather today, as hot, dry, and windy conditions are forecast across the state.Total fire bans have been declared in several districts.Fire chiefs say they're particularly concerned about dry grass in paddocks catching fire in urban fringe areas.Authorities say the state is a tinderbox especially after a very dry January.The opposition is putting pressure on the Albanese Government to block Australian citizens returning home if they've subscribed to the ideology of the Islamic State group.A group of Australian woman who've been stuck in a refugee camp in Syria with their children are trying to come home, raising concerns about whether they pose a threat in Australia.They were married to Islamic State fighters who were captured and killed.The Federal Government isn't going to help them return and if they do they'll face close scrutiny from intelligence and law enforcement agencies.The ABC understands the victim of a drive-by shooting in Sydney's west is former NRL winger Matt Utai.Utai played for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs and is now in a serious condition in hospital.Police say an car was found on fire a short time after the shooting on a nearby street in Greenacre, and detectives believe it's linked to the incident.Utai played 167 games and was part of the premiership winning Bulldogs team in 2004.

The prime minister's confirmed the government will not help repatriate a group of Australian families with links to Islamic state fighters.They've been forced to return to a detention camp in Syria, after trying to journey home.Anthony Albanese's responded to that development, saying "if you make your bed, you lie in it".The issue is a thorny one because the camps are apparently dangerous for families and children, so there's been pressure on the government to help them get out of there.But there are concerns about the risk the group poses to Australia if they return, given their connection to the brutal Islamic State ideology.Former NRL winger Matt Utai is in a serious condition in hospital, after being shot twice in a drive-by shooting in the Sydney suburb of Greenacre.Police say a car was located on fire a short time later on a nearby street, and detectives believe it's linked to the shooting.Utai played 167 games, for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs and was part of the Bulldogs' premiership winning team in 2004.Bree Walker has missed out on the medals in the Women's monobob at the Winter Olympics.Walker was highly favoured heading into the games after five podium finishes this World Cup season but couldn't find the speed required on the track to challenge for a medal.More broadly Australia's in the midst of its greatest Winter Olympics campaign and has been especially successful in moguls skiing.

Despite being a stand-out young player, many NRL clubs initially rejected Johnathan Thurston because they thought he was too small and wiry but he went on to become one of the best rugby league players of all time.Johnathan showed his rare talent for rugby league early on but his parents didn't have the money to help him travel to games.So in his late teens, Johnathan moved to Toowoomba to get a start in rugby league, while working part-time in the butcher's section of a supermarket.When Johnathan moved to Sydney at 18 to try his luck with the Cantebury Bulldogs, he began to get noticed and by the time he retired in 2018, had won a record 4 Daly M medals. Johnathan Thurston The Autobiography (with James Phelps) is published by Harper Collins.This episode of Conversations was produced by Nicola Harrison, the Executive Producer was Pam O'Brien.It explores the career of Johnathan Thurston, the NRL, rugby league, sporting talent, growing up in Brisbane, working part time jobs, alcohol, scholarships, NRL clubs, the Canterbury Bulldogs, North Queensland Cowboys, State of Origin, Queensland, Daly M medal, NRL Grand Final,  Queensland Maroons, indigenous Australian, Maori heritage, goal kicker, housing commission, Toowoomba, Indigenous All Star, GOAT To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the industry, they call it the 'second season'. Only eight teams remain as the NRL gears up for a finals series rich with storylines. What are the narratives that will define finals time? Maybe it's the Panthers seeking to find innovative ways to win the title, again. Perhaps it's the Roosters harnessing star power old and new. The infrastructure of the Storm. The complicated momentum of Brisbane. The romaticism and excellence of Canberra. Finals season is here. Featured: Nick Campton, NRL reporter, ABC Sport. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
