Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will visit flood-affected areas of Queensland, which experienced heavy rainfall over the weekend, leaving some towns isolated. Meanwhile, a group of former Labor MPs are urging Albanese to establish a royal commission into antisemitism and the Bondi terror attack, citing concerns about democracy and the limitations of the NSW royal commission. In other news, Bondi shooting suspect Naveed Akram, who faces 59 charges including 15 counts of murder and a terrorism charge, has been transferred to Goulburn Supermax prison. He is scheduled to appear in court again on April 8th. The southeastern states are also bracing for extreme heat, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-40s this week.
