Australia news live: transport minister calls in Airservices Australia for urgent meeting after Sydney airport chaos
Australia's transport minister summoned Airservices Australia for an urgent meeting following days of flight delays and a near-miss between two aircraft on the Sydney airport tarmac. Separately, New South Wales Deputy Premier Prue Car has asked the state's education authority to urgently examine AI's effect on student learning and consider banning unsupervised take-home assessments.
Why this matters: The education piece is the one worth watching. NSW is considering restricting take-home assessments because students are using AI to complete them, and officials say that is affecting how students actually learn and think. That is a real policy response, not just a warning. Half of the HSC result comes from school-based work, so this would directly change how students are assessed and what skills they actually build. The question is whether banning tools is the right lever, or whether it just shifts the problem somewhere less visible.
