A man and woman have died after falling from the Western Distributor leading to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as motorists are advised to avoid the area. Emergency services rushed to Harbour Street in the Sydney CBD about 9.45am on Saturday to find the man and woman dead. It is understood the pair, believed to be in their 40s, fell from the Western Distributor overpass onto the street.

AntiSocial Asylum hotels

Anger has flared outside hotels used to house asylum seekers. Protestors say they are worried about illegal migration, cost to the taxpayer and a lack of consultation, but one issue seems to spark even more concern - the safety of women and children. Opponents have accused protestors of racism and whipping up hate. Is there any evidence that asylum seekers are more likely to commit sexual offences? We trace the clamour for more data to answer that question. Police have been given new guidance on disclosing the ethnicity and nationality of suspects in criminal cases - especially high profile ones. What might be the effect? And why are so many asylum seekers currently housed in hotels anyway? We hear how the system is supposed to work and how it's evolved.
