The burst of heat is part of a hot air mass moving towards the southeast of Australia, with elevated temperatures expected in Victoria and NSW over the weekend.

Australia would be forced to arrest Israel's prime minister and former defence minister on charges of war crimes under an international court ruling that's splitting the global community.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) found there were reasonable grounds that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes.

This includes allegations of using starvation as a method of warfare and attacks intentionally directed against civilians in Gaza.

An arrest warrant was also issued for Hamas' military wing commander Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri for crimes against humanity and war crimes of murder, extermination, torture and rape.

The warrants are not a finding of guilt.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong defended the court's independence while the coalition called on the federal government to follow the United States in rejecting the court's jurisdiction.

The chances of Mr Netanyahu visiting Australia are remote but the country's obligations as a member of the court under the Rome Statute are legally binding, international law expert Don Rothwell said.

The US position needs to be viewed on the basis that it is not a member, while Australia was, Professor Rothwell told AAP.

The issue of jurisdiction had already been decided when the court found it had the power to investigate alleged crimes in Palestinian territories, with Palestine being a member of the court, he said.

"Israel is not a party but the evidence is overwhelming that crimes have been alleged to be committed in the territory of Palestine - territorial jurisdiction is clearly met," Prof Rothwell added.

The international law expert said that until now the court had very strong bipartisan support in Australia, and any deterioration in that support could damage the country's international reputation.

Political leaders can't selectively apply legal rulings, Prof Rothwell said, pointing to widespread support for a warrant issued against Russian President Vladimir Putin following his invasion of Ukraine.

ANZ has cut interest rates on its variable-rate home loan cementing its lead as the lowest-rate major bank for mortgage holders. The move follows similar rate cuts from Commonwealth Bank and NAB, despite the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) keeping the cash rate on hold for a year.

ANZ has cut new customer variable rates on its Plus and Simplicity Plus home loans by up to 0.15 per cent today. Like with the cuts from the other major banks, these rate reductions do not apply to existing customers.

ANZ continues to offer the lowest advertised variable rate of the majors at 6.09 per cent rate. It is also the only big bank to continue to offer cashback with up to $2,000 for refinancers and $3,000 for first-home buyers.

Canstar data insights director Sally Tindall said ANZ’s cuts weren’t sizeable but they were "significant".

“This is the third big bank to have sliced new customer variable rates in the last three months despite no move to the cash rate. This is confirmation the big banks are still fiercely competitive,” she said.

A union boss says Aussies should expect empty shelves in Woolworths despite the supermarket saying a pay dispute in four of its distribution centres will have minimal impact.

“This will have a huge impact. We know when one warehouse goes on strike, shelves start going empty,” union organiser Dario Mujkic told the ABC.

“It’s actually unprecedented, this level of strike action across the Woolworths supply chain.”

Woolworths says it has contingency plans in place to cope with such strikes, but has stressed it is committed to reaching an agreement as soon as possible.

The president of a Melbourne footy club two teenagers poisoned in Laos played for has given an emotional interview, saying the women deserved their holiday after a torrid few years without a social life.

Bianca Jones' family confirmed her tragic death on Thursday, while her best friend Holly Bowles remains on life support in a Thai hospital. The pair were on their "dream getaway" together travelling through Southeast Asia when they fell ill after drinking alcohol at a bar in Vang Vieng.

"They were part of the COVID generation that missed out on their social lives for a couple of years," Beaumaris Football Club President Nick Heath told ABC News Breakfast.

"They'd finished their schooling and both worked hard in their part-time jobs to get some money to have their dream overseas trip and off they've went full of zest for life and quest for adventure.

"[And they've been] presented with a situation where you're around lots of other people, in a backpacker environment, everyone is happy and excited and happy hour drinks are presented in all the excitement, their best judgement is probably by-passed for just one moment and that's all it takes.

"I think that's why so many people relate to this because it could happen to anybody and it just really smacks you right between the eyes.

"These young people deserve some social life and deserved their time in the sun. And now this happens. It's devastating."

A police officer has allegedly been stabbed in the chest while arresting a 20-year-old man in Sydney's west.

Police were called to reports of a fight in Doonside, with four men allegedly fleeing when authorities arrived, while one man allegedly fled on foot.

NSW Police said the vehicle used to flee the scene crashed into a pole, with the men inside allegedly running from the scene.

"Police... saw a 20-year-old man on foot. Police will allege during the arrest of that man, a 34-year-old male constable was stabbed in the chest," they said in a statement.

"The officer was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital where he is reported to be in a stable condition. He will undergo further testing today.

"A 21-year-old man has been taken to Westmead Hospital to be checked as a precaution after the police van in which he was being transported was struck by a Highway Patrol vehicle. That man has since been released and is returning to Blacktown Police Station.

"The two remaining men who had been travelling in the hatchback – aged 20 and 18 – were arrested on Power Street and have been taken to Blacktown Police Station."

Police are searching for two more men.

Billionaire Elon Musk has once again taken aim at the Albanese government, calling the planned social media ban for under sixteens a "backdoor way" to control internet use in the country.

"Seems like a backdoor way to control access to the Internet by all Australians," Musk posted on X, the social media platform he created after purchasing Twitter.

Musk previously branded Canberra as "fascists" in response to proposed laws aimed at fining social media platforms for failing to curb misinformation.
