New Liberal Leader Angus Taylor says a key focus for the Opposition will be making it easier for Australians to buy their first home. Mr Taylor and his newly anointed deputy, Victorian senator Jane Hume, spent their first official day on the job in the regional town of Goulburn, in the New South Wales Southern Tablelands. Mr Taylor, who yesterday ousted Sussan Ley as Opposition Leader in a party room ballot says owning a home has always been a part of the Australian ideal, but that it's a goal that's becoming harder to reach. The New South Wales Multiculturalism Minister says he's been fielding concerns from 'all communities' in the wake of Monday's protest in Sydney against the Israeli President's visit. Footage from the Town Hall rally shows some police officers appearing to punch demonstrators, and there's now calls for the Premier to apologise to the Muslim community over vision of officers dragging away men during prayer. The police watchdog has announced an independent review into the conduct of officers on the night.Tensions are rising between Washington and Tehran as the US deploys a second aircraft carrier group to the region. It comes as Mr Trump pushes for a new agreement on Iran's nuclear program, threatening strikes if a deal isn't reached. Speaking to troops at a base in North Carolina he suggested fear may be needed to resolve the situation. Iran says it's prepared to discuss curbs on its nuclear program, in exchange for lifting sanctions.
