澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 2015-04-30

 Leading our news this morning - the bodies of Bali Nine pair Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have arrived in Jakarda for repatriation¹ to Australia in the next couple of days. The men were executed by firing squad² yesterday. And Australia retaliated³ by recalling its ambassador to Indonesia for consultations⁴ in the middle of a growing debate about death penalty. ‘I do get approached by people saying, well, that it might be your view that you don’t support the death penalty, but it’s not our view. And I find that rather startling at times. I think that the discussion that we’re having about the others we should also be carrying out domestically.’ Barnaby Joyce on Lateline last night.

There is a growing frustration⁵ in Nepal about the slow pace of relief efforts after the weekend’s massive earthquake. There are near-riots as thousands of people try to flee the capital Kathmandu that may face diseases and more aftershocks. The death toll⁶ stands at more than 5000. 

Emergency crews in New South Wales are preparing for more flooding at the weekend. Heavy rain is forecast in the Northern New South Wales and Queensland’s South-East. Up to 400mm of rain is expected to fall in the region in the coming days. 

Two Melbourne men accused of planning an ANZAC day terrorist attack in Melbourne are expected to apply for bail⁷ today. Harun Causevic and Sevdet Besim were among five young men arrested during raids of X.
