A New South Wales Greens MP has urged federal politicians not to support a motion by the National Party to block a carbon credit plan that would help create a large koala national park. The plan allows the NSW government to earn carbon credits by protecting native forests, but it has caused a split among environmental groups and politicians.
Key Facts
The NSW Greens MP Sue Higginson opposes a Senate vote that could stop a carbon credit method linked to creating a koala national park.
The carbon credit method lets state governments earn credits for protecting public native forests, which can be sold or used to reduce pollution.
The National Party wants to cancel this method through a disallowance motion in the Senate.
Some environmental groups oppose the method, saying it does not lead to real emissions cuts and may encourage states to protect the environment only for carbon credit money.
Other groups, including WWF, Greenpeace, and Indigenous groups, support the method because it can protect 176,000 hectares of forest and many threatened species.
Sue Higginson initially opposed the carbon credit method but changed her view after it was improved to require big logging cuts in NSW forests.
Experts warn that carbon credits should not replace direct cuts in pollution to fight climate change.
The Greens federal party is deciding whether to support the motion, as they face pressure from both sides.

Iran announced it tested a new ballistic missile called Qassem Basir, which it says can strike threats before they happen. The missile has more range and accuracy, and Iran said this shows a change in its defense approach amid ongoing tensions near the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route.
Key Facts
Iran revealed a missile called Qassem Basir with improved range, accuracy, and a half-ton warhead.
Iranian officials claim the missile was tested against a U.S. warship, but this is unclear.
The U.S. reported Iranian ballistic missile launches targeting U.S. warships and responded by striking three Iranian oil tankers.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a hotspot, with Iran threatening an “exclusion zone” for vessels passing through, but the U.S. says the waterway is open and under U.S. control.
The U.S. Navy has cleared mines from the strait and redirected or disabled several commercial ships to protect naval operations.
Recent attacks in the region have raised concerns about the safety of commercial shipping and caused a drop in passage through the strait.
Regional leaders, including the UAE, express frustration and insist no single country should control the Strait of Hormuz.
The conflict involves broader tensions between Iran, the U.S., and allies over oil shipments and military activity.

Iran has raised the price of gasoline for people who use more than 110 liters per month, doubling the cost for heavy users. This increase aims to manage high gasoline use and help families by reallocating the extra money, but it may also add to inflation during difficult economic times.
Key Facts
Iran increased the gasoline price for the heaviest users starting Tuesday.
People using more than 110 liters (29 gallons) per month now pay 100,000 rials (about 7 cents) per liter, twice the price set in December.
The price change affects about 15% of gasoline consumers.
Iran’s daily gasoline consumption reached 145 million liters, while local production is 122 million liters, so the country imports the rest.
Gasoline prices in Iran remain low compared to the world despite the increase.
The country faces yearly inflation of about 67%, and the price hike could increase inflation further.
Cheap gasoline has been a long-standing cultural expectation in Iran, with past price hikes causing protests and violence.
The government plans to give the additional money made from higher prices to households.

A scientific journal retracted a 2022 study that said satellite radar could find hidden rooms inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. The journal found serious errors in how the study was done, which made the study's claims unreliable.
Key Facts
The study used satellite radar technology called synthetic aperture radar Doppler tomography to look inside the Great Pyramid.
The researchers claimed to find 20 hidden features like corridors, rooms, and ramps without entering the pyramid.
The study also claimed to detect the “Big Void,” a large cavity previously found by other techniques.
The journal Remote Sensing retracted the paper in August 2025 after finding methodological and statistical errors.
The retraction followed concerns raised by readers about the study’s methods.
The researchers also made claims about hidden structures beneath the nearby Pyramid of Khafre, including tunnels and shafts.
These claims attracted wide attention online and from groups like YouTuber MrBeast, who offered to help explore the pyramids.
