Murray Olds: Australia correspondent on teacher aide who saved lives of children remembered as "cherished mother, wife, daughter and sister", foreign nationals found on remote island and corpse flower once in a decade bloom - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A teacher aide has died in Australia after a truck crashed into a preschool playground.

The crash comes less than two weeks after an 11-year-old was killed and four other students injured after an SUV crashed through a fence in Melbourne.

Australia correspondent Murray Olds tells Heather du Plessis-Allan the teacher aide saved a number of children’s lives by pushing them out of the way in time. Her family has paid tribute to the “cherished mother, wife, daughter and sister”.

Plus, four foreign nationals have been found on a remote island off the northern territory.

And, plant lovers are queueing up to catch a once-in-a-decade whiff of the corpse flower in Melbourne.
