Dozens missing after ferry sinks off Bali; Creative Australia chair apologises to Sabsabi; and rise of robot narrators
Good afternoon. At least four people have died and dozens are missing after a ferry carrying 65 people sank on its way to Bali, according to Indonesian police. The vessel sank before midnight on Wednesday in the Bali Strait as it sailed to a port in the north of the famous holiday island, departing from Banyuwangi, a town on Indonesia's main island of Java. Local police said four people had died, 31 had been rescued and 30 were missing. The boat was carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew members as well as 22 vehicles, the search and rescue agency said, though it is common in Indonesia for the actual number of passengers on a boat to differ from the manifest. Indonesian politicians have attributed the cause of the accident to 'bad weather'. It is understood at this stage that there were no Australians on board the boat.

‘Shut up': Wild moment Aussie family launches tirade at solo female traveller on Bali ferry
A solo female traveller has shared the terrifying moment an Australian woman allegedly punched her in the face after an argument escalated on a ferry in Bali. The woman, who is believed to be on a solo holiday in Indonesia, was on a Maruti Fast Boat from Penida to Sanur when she was allegedly involved in an abusive altercation with an Australian family. Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that she was approached by the family who asked if she could switch seats on the ferry. The traveller turned down the request due to a lack of other available seats on the lower deck, prompting an argument to spark between the traveller and the Australian family. 'Shut up,' the Australian girl said in the footage, walking towards the solo traveller and grabbing the camera. 'She assaulted me,' the traveller said, pointing to the Australian girl. The Australian girl's mother then accused the traveller of 'initating it', labelling her a 'little b***h'. When the woman accused the Australian girl of assaulting her again, the mother hit back and said, 'do not blame my f**king kid because you initiated it'. 'You assaulted yourself, you stupid idiot,' the mother added. 'I sat here the whole time,' the traveller replied. '(The girl) came over to this aisle and slapped me.' The Australian girl then threatened to escalate the situation further. 'Shut up or I'll punch you f**kin' again,' she said. 'I actually didn't touch your face, I grabbed your phone. And look at your video and you can see that,' she later added. 'Talk to the police about that,' the traveller replied. '(My) glasses are on the floor.' The argument continued between the woman and the Australian family, with the boat operator eventually stepping between them and trying to ease the the spat continued, another woman eventually sat down between the feuding tourists. The female traveller said online the Australian family were eventually told to move to the upstairs deck. 'I told the male member (seemingly the dad) of the family that this needs to be addressed with the police and he said OK,' she wrote. 'But then when alighting the boat they left quickly.' NewsWire has contacted DFAT, Indonesian Police and Maruti Group for comment.
