Prime Minister Anthony Albanese arrives in Shanghai to a warm welcomeThree members of an aerial firefighting crew have died after their light plane crashed in remote northwest Queensland.
They say the three had been playing a critical role in saving lives and protecting property by their intelligence and mapping work from the air to help firefighters on the ground.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has touched down in Shanghai on the first leg of his visit to China, becoming the first Australian leader to visit the country since 2016.
But Mr Albanese says his much-anticipated visit to China marks a "very positive step" in stabilising strained bilateral ties. Hospital director Mohammad Abu Selmeyah says those killed and injured were mainly people standing by the hospital gate, rather than inside the ambulance."Always it is the same scene. No vacancy in the inpatient department to admit any patients. Most of the patients have had surgery and they are waiting to be transferred to the inpatient department. Unfortunately we are providing here. It is a horrible situation.
