1. Oliver Curtis is still stuck in a holding cell.

Oliver Curtis, 30, is still waiting for a bed in prison after last week being sentenced to a minimum of one year behind bars for insider trading.

The investment banker and husband of PR mogul Roxy Jacenko is current behind bars in a holding cell at Surry Hills Police Station in inner Sydney – a facility generally designed to detain people for no more than 48 hours.

According to sources quoted by The Daily Telegraph, Curtis’ slow track to prison is due to a “backlog” at Silverwater Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre as well as the need for additional protection due to his high profile.

Curtis was convicted of conspiracy to committ insider trading on June 2, after reaping $1.4million from confidential tips provided by his childhood friend

2. Inquest hears there’s no system to track home birth failures.

An inquest into the death of a home-birthed baby has heard that there is no appropriate system for tracking the number of pregnancies and births that occur outside the hospital system.

The inquest is being staged following the death of a baby boy born on a Lismore property last year.

The court has heard the birth was considered high risk because the foetus was lying sideways and the mother had tested positive to hepatitis C, reports ABC News.

Nurse Petria Maher, the first health professional to see the baby when he was driven to Nimbin Hospital, gave evidence yesterday.

“There’s no mechanism [that allows us] to know what’s going on,” she said.

“I was really concerned for the baby, this beautiful baby who had died that nobody seemed to care about.”

3. Triple-0 call for mother accused of driving her children into a lake played in court.

A Melbourne woman accused of murdering her three young children by driving them into a lake broke down in court yesterday, as heartbreaking audio of a witness’ triple 0 call was played.

Akon Guode’s four-year-old twins and one-year-old son drowned after her vehicle plunged into Lake Gladman in Wyndham Vale, Melbourne, in April 2015.

Melbourne’s Magistrates Court yesterday heard the triple 0 call made by a witness shortly after the 4WD entered the water, which described her mounting the curb and ploughing ‘full bolt’ in to the lake.

The 37-year-old mother of seven denies it was a deliberate act, claiming instead that she became “dizzy” and often suffered headaches.

4. CCTV shows the faces of suspected suicide bombers in Instanbul attack.

CCTV footage has captured the faces of two of the men suspected of detonating the deadly bombs at Turkey’s Ataturk Airport yesterday.

The picture below shows a man dressed in a thick jacket making his way into the terminal alongside an unsuspecting pilot.

Other vision depicts a man, dressed entirely in black, shooting people as he moves inside the buildings, reports Hurriyet.

Forty two people were killed and another 239 injured when a gunman opened fire in the departures hall before three blasts were set off in the arrivals hall below.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but authorities suspect they may have been the work of Islamic extremist group ISIS.

The Turkish government has declared three days of mourning.

5. Tony Abbott weighs in on same-sex marriage

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbot has said Australian's would feel "ripped off" if parliament refused to implement the result of a plebiscite on same-sex marriage.

The non-binding, non-compulsory nation-wide vote has been a key election promise of the Coalition, however politicians have been told they would still be permitted a free vote on the issue.

Abbott told Sky News that it was the duty of elected representatives to reflect the will of their constituents.

"I think people will feel ripped off and I think they would be entitled to feel ripped off," Mr Abbott told Sky News.

"Something like 80 per cent of the public, whatever they think on the issue, think that it is very properly determined by the people rather than, in this instance, by the Parliament."
