Australia news live: Dural crime scene believed to be linked to Chris Baghsarian kidnapping, NSW police say; Angus Taylor vows to ‘rid system’ of net zero

Good morning and welcome to our live news blog. I’m Martin Farrer with the best breaking news stories before Nick Visser takes over.

The biggest story overnight was the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at Sandringham estate, on suspicion of misconduct in public office – you can find our live coverage here and we’ll bring you more developments and reactions throughout the day.

Elsewhere, a group of Australian men suspected of being former IS State fighters are among more than 5,000 detainees transferred from Syria to Iraq, where they potentially face charges that could carry the death penalty.

And in New South Wales, police said early this morning that they have located a crime scene in Dural as investigations continue into the kidnapping of Chris Baghsarian. They will speak to media later this morning – and we’ll bring you more details soon.
