ABC NewsMail - Afternoon Edition

Good afternoon. Here's what's happening now:

  • In breaking news, a Victorian police officer has shot at a car after the driver ignored calls to pull over and instead drove at him in a tunnel on Melbourne's EastLink freeway. Inbound lanes remain closed between Canterbury Road and Springvale Road

  • Former Bandido member Lionel Patea has been committed to stand trial for the alleged murder of his former partner Tara Brown on the Gold Coast. He is accused of running her car off the road and bashing her while she was trapped in the wreckage

  • Australians are gathering to mark Remembrance Day with the National War Memorial focusing on the sacrifice of Indigenous soldiers. The service marks 97 years since the armistice which ended World War I
