Update: Date: 2025-07-19T22:39:13.000Z Title: Content: A sweeping search is under way for a fisherman missing on the New South Wales south coast. Emergency services were called to Batemans Bay Marina about 8pm on Saturday after a fisherman failed to return from a day's fishing trip, NSW Police said in a statement on Sunday morning. The 56-year-old man had left the marina about 6am in an 8m Arvor cruiser, and was spoken to again at about 10am, police said. But emergency services were alerted about 7.20pm when he failed to return. Marine Area Command launched a search operation which continued throughout the night, involving vessels from Marine Area Command, Marine Rescue NSW, as well as a fixed wing aircraft and helicopter. Neither the man nor the boat were found. The search continues with additional assistance from Surf Life Saving NSW. Update: Date: 2025-07-19T22:34:46.000Z Title: Good morning Content: folks. My name is Stephanie Convery and I'll be bringing you all the live news and updates you could need on this Sunday 20 July. We're going to start in Tasmania, where yesterday's state election has resulted in another hung parliament. Liberal leader and incumbent premier Jeremy Rockliff declared victory on Saturday night after his party secured 14 seats to Labor's nine, but both are short of the 18 required for majority. Rockliff said he would ask the governor to recommission his government. However, Labor leader Dean Winter didn't concede defeat and appeared to leave the door open to governing, if the Liberals couldn't make it work. More on that story shortly. It's been a frosty and cold start to the day in many parts of Australia but hopefully some news – and a nice big mug of coffee – will start to warm you up. Let's get stuck in.
