ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

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

Imagine Jaws, but with a much smaller boat. A kayaker in Albany, off Western Australia's south coast, had a very close encounter with a shark. You need to see the video for this one.

Here's what's coming up:

  • 10:00am AEST: Two British terrorism experts will give evidence at the inquest into the Lindt Cafe siege

  • 11:30am AEST: The three month public consultation period on South Australia's Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission begins

  • 12:00pm AEST: Operation Pitch Black will be launched by the Royal Australian Air Force in Darwin. It's the RAAF's largest training operation this year

  • 4:30pm AEST: The annual Garma Festival in the Northern Territory begins
