The KIISFM co-host of the popular Kyle and Jackie O Show will tie the knot to Tegan Kynaston, 37, a long-time friend and director of communications of his company.
"I'm not in charge of the invite list. I was invited by Kyle Sandilands to his wedding," he said after National Cabinet, when asked if he was going to be in attendance.Mr Albanese, who has appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O Show on numerous occasions, described the radio host as an"Australian success story".
"But it is curious the Prime Minister thinks he can take a day off just days before his first real budget," she said. Sandilands has also recruited a number of Australian singers - Guy Sebastian, Samantha Jade, and Conrad Sewell - who will all perform throughout the night. Newly-elected NSW Premier Chris Minns and his wife Anna have also scored an invite. Picture: Sam Ruttyn

Albanese rejects multiple requests from Ukraine to help fight Russian cyber warfareThe Albanese government has rejected three high-level requests from Ukraine to help fight Russian cyber warfare, Sky News host Sharri Markson reveals. Security sources told Ms Markson that Russia is using cyber intelligence to target their missile strikes and Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Former foreign affairs minister Marise Payne met in person with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba early last year, and it was gathered Australia would help Ukraine; however, it appears the Albanese government has now walked away from this commitment. “We always carefully consider requests for assistance from the Ukrainian Government,” Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Tim Watts wrote in a rejection letter to the Ukrainian government on March 6, 2023. “I note your interest in further developing cooperation between Ukraine and Australia in the field of cyber and critical infrastructure, including within the framework of the counter Ransomware initiative. “While we are not in a position to provide direct funding for cyber security-related initiatives at this time, we see great value in progressing the bilateral Cyber Policy Dialogue between Ukrainian and Australian officials, initiating in 2022, to facilitate the sharing of expertise and experience.”

Australia fast-tracking citizenship for New Zealanders a ‘sensible change’: AlbanesePrime Minister Anthony Albanese says the recent reform to allow New Zealanders an easier pathway to Australian citizenship is a “sensible change”. “It’s moving that pathway so that it’s equivalent to what Australians receive in New Zealand, it's a sensible change that we announced on the weekend,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Thursday. “These changes, again, aimed at more permanency – giving people that security will mean that they are able to make a greater contribution to the Australian community.”
