4. Dallas sniper sent home from Afghanistan after alleged sexually harassment

The Dallas sniper who shot five officers and wounded seven more at a Black Lives Matter protest was sent home from Afghanistan after allegedly sexually harassing a female soldier, the New York Daily News reports.

Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, served in the Army Reserve for six years from 2009, the US military said.

But in May 2014, in Afghanistan, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier that involved him reportedly buying her kinky Victoria's Secret underwear.

The soldier, Ana Ma, sought protection in 2014 against Johnson.

After lodging a complaint, Ma also requested the military equivalent of a restraining order to keep Johnson away from her. She also reportedly suggested psychiatric care for the Army reservist.

Johnson was ultimately discharged from the army in April 2015.

7. Did Pauline Hanson copy this policy from Wikipedia?

An image posted to Reddit on Sunday shows that most of the One Nation party's policy on medicinal cannabis may have been copied from Wikipedia.

The post compared the policy from the controversial party's website to Wikipedia's page titled 'Medical Cannabis'.

"All the parts highlighted are word for word the same as the Wikipedia page on medical cannabis," the Reddit post -- which was picked up by The Daily Mail -- reads.

"Notice how Wikipedia delivers a more sceptical approach such as "There is limited evidence" yet when you go back to One Nation's policy this is left out."
