A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after an alleged stabbing incident at the University of Sydney yesterday.

A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition after reports of a stabbing at the inner-city Camperdown campus.

NSW Police said the teenage boy was arrested a short time later, after he boarded a bus outside the University.

The pair were not known to each other, according to police.

In a statement to TDA, The University of Sydney said it was working with authorities, and that there may be “an increased security and police presence on campus,” as a precautionary measure.

CW: Sexual violence

More than half of young Australians are using strangulation (or ‘choking’) during sex, new data has found.

A joint study by the University of Melbourne and the University of Queensland surveyed over 4,700 people aged 18-35.

It found 57% had been strangled during sex, while 51% had strangled a partner.

Strangulation that causes serious harm is illegal across Australia, however researchers found that “few” respondents knew this was a criminal offence in their state or territory.

Here’s the latest.

Sexual strangulation involves restricting or stopping someone from breathing. Sexual violence experts advise that there is no safe way to strangle.

Australian researchers found that about a third of young people experienced strangulation in sex for the first time between the ages of 19-21.

The study found an overall lack of understanding among young people about strangulation safety and consent.

Around 60% of men (compared to 40% of women) said they had strangled a sexual partner. This rate was higher in trans and gender-diverse respondents, at nearly 75%.

The majority of participants said they first became aware about strangulation during sex via pornography.

Other common avenues were movies (40%), friends (32%), social media (31%) and discussions with current or potential partners (29%).

Researchers warned strangulation can cause a range of short and long term health issues, including bruising, blackouts, problems with memory and concentration, and brain injury.

Some symptoms can occur weeks or months after the initial strangulation.

Study co-author Professor Heather Douglas compared the effects of repeated strangling to “the effects of repeated concussions on footballers.”

Strangulation that causes serious harm is a criminal offence across most states and territories in Australia. For example, it carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment in NSW.

83% of survey participants did not know strangulation was a criminal offence and most did not know that consensual strangulation could be seriously harmful.

Researchers suggest that while consent can be given to be strangled, it might be given “without understanding that it could seriously injure them”.

If you were planning on getting yourself an egg McMuffin this morning, you might want to head out now.

McDonald’s are cutting off their breakfast menu at 10.30am, not 12pm, for the foreseeable future amid an egg shortage caused by bird flu.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s been an outbreak of avian influenza (aka bird flu) across farms in NSW, ACT, and Victoria.

As a result, some supermarkets have been placing a limit on the number of eggs customers can purchase, and it looks like Macca’s are also affected.

Riddle answer: Counterfeit money.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that American presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed while performing official duties. The decision in the country’s highest court means Donald Trump is unlikely to face charges for allegedly attempting to overthrow the 2020 U.S. election.

Trump’s lawyers argued the former U.S. President was entitled to presidential immunity during his time in office — a rare protection that shields individuals from legal action.

In today's deep dive, we'll explain the context behind the decision and what it will actually mean for the U.S. moving forward.
