1. Parents and siblings saw Indy Lee Henderson, aged just 3, crushed by an Anzac monument as they attended their grandma’s birthday party.

The three-year-old girl crushed by a stone monument out the front of a bowling club on the NSW Mid North Coast died in front of her siblings and parents.

Indy Lee Henderson was playing on a war memorial out the front of the Black Head Bowling at Hallidays Point, between Forster and Taree on Saturday night when another little girl climbed on the monument causing it to fall backwards and crush Indy Lee.

A friend told Fairfax Media it was a “life-altering freak accident that has just destroyed many people’s lives including all of the poor little girl’s siblings”.

Indy Lee’s mother was one of those who ran from the birthday party they were attending at bowling club and tried to lift the slab.

Superintendent Peter Thurtell told the ABC that Indy Lee was behind the momument when it fell.

“The deceased child was not climbing on top of the war memorial. Another child was climbing on top of the war memorial and it appears as though the weight of that child brought it down and another girl was standing behind that slab,” Superintendent Thurtell said.

6. Backpacker tax compromise reached as parliament prepares to break for Christmas.

The controversial tax on backpackers is likely to pass this week after the Coalition gained the support of One Nation for a lower rate.

It is the second backdown since introducing the savings measure in 2015 at 32.5 per cent and then changing it to 19 per cent. The government has agreed to support a trial allowing jobseekers to earn up to $5000 on seasonal fruit-picking work without penalty under a deal with Nick Xenophon.

"Anyone who is thinking about packing up and going home for Christmas, let us say to you now, don't do that, think about the great experience you can have in Australia the next 12 months, stick around because you are very welcome” a spokeswoman for the National Farmers' Federation, which had supported a rate of between 15 and 19 per cent, said.

A Moroccan TV channel has had to apologise after showing a makeup tutorial which instructed women on how to cover up bruises from domestic abuse.

The program 'Sabahiyat' was shown on November 23 just days before the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

It showed make-up artist Lilia Mouline and a model with a fake bruise around her eye, and demonstrated for viewers how to conceal the violence with foundation and loose powder.

A petition calling for action against the channel was created online and addressed to the country's High Authority for Audiovisual Communication demanding "severe sanctions against the show".

The petition ends by saying: "Do not cover up domestic violence with makeup, condemn the aggressor."
