Mark Burrows leads the bulletin with major news a catastrophic bushfire emergency engulfs the Central Coast as a fast-moving blaze decimates the small community of Koolewong, destroying twelve homes and jumping across the water to threaten residents in Woy Woy Bay amid scorching 42-degree temperatures. We provide extensive live coverage from the fire ground, featuring heartbreaking interviews with residents who lost everything and an urgent update from NSW Premier Chris Minns regarding the state’s emergency response to the extreme conditions. The bulletin also covers a serious assault in Hurstville that has left a local man in a coma, the arrest of rugby dual-international Wendell Sailor following a bizarre incident in Wollongong, and the unfolding scandal in Bali where several Australians and a British content creator face deportation over public indecency laws. Additional stories include the controversy surrounding the federal government’s new Aged Care Act reforms, the star-studded FIFA World Cup 2026 draw in Washington DC attended by Donald Trump, a frightening dog baiting attack in the Inner West suburb of Stanmore, and upcoming changes to the digital delivery of toll road notices for NSW drivers. | Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9 | Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au: http://9Soci.al/iyCO50GjSK6
