Here's what you need to know this morning.
COVID-19 restrictions tighten today
New coronavirus restrictions will be enforced from today for restaurants, clubs, cafes and event venues across NSW.
From today, those establishments will be limited to a total of 300 people and group books will be capped at 10 people, who must remain seated.
Funerals and places of worship will be capped at 100, weddings and corporate events will be capped at 150 people but there will be no mingling, singing or dancing allowed.
Police have been directed to enforce new restrictions.
Teen stabbed in Northern Beaches
A teenage boy has been stabbed on Sydney's Northern Beaches last night.
Emergency services were called to a unit on Barrenjoey Road, Newport after reports of a stabbing.
A 17-year-old boy was found with stab wounds to his stomach and arms and was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police were told he was in a car park at the back of the unit block when he was stabbed by two unknown men, who fled the scene.
Sydneysiders banned from Knights game
The Newcastle Knights have confirmed that Sydney fans and non-essential officials will be banned from buying tickets to this Sunday's game at Hunter Stadium to stop further spread of COVID-19.
The Knights chief executive officer Phil Gardner said the restrictions were put in place after the NSW Premier and chief medical officer advised against non-essential travel this weekend.
He said free masks would be made available for fans to wear at the game.
The Knights will be playing against the Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon.
BLM court hearing continues
The Supreme Court will today resume hearing an application by the NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to prohibit the Black Lives Matter march in Sydney next week.
The Commissioner was accused of failing to comply with legal requirements before seeking to stop the rally on public health grounds.
Barrister Felicity Graham, for the protest organisers, said Commissioner Fuller should have consulted with organiser Paddy Gibson before publicly declaring plans to take him to the Supreme Court during an interview on 2GB.
She argued the court does not have jurisdiction to decide the application for a prohibition order because police did not carry out proper legal processes.
Car identified in $1m appeal
NSW Police have identified a vehicle of interest in their appeal for information into a deliberately-lit 1998 fire that killed a 13-year-old boy.
Arthur Haines was trapped on the top floor of a burning home in Waterloo and later died of his injuries in hospital.
The vehicle of interest is described as a white 1987 VL commodore.
Last month, the NSW Government had increased the $100,000 reward for information to $1 million.
Justice served to family court bomber
When Justice David Opas left his family at the dinner table to answer the doorbell in June 1980, a gunshot echoed through his neighbourhood in Sydney's east.
So began a terrifying campaign of retaliation by Leonard John Warwick, a disgruntled litigant whose deep resentment for the newly established Family Court spilled into the private lives of judges.
Legal affairs reporter Jamie McKinnell dives into Warwick's unprecedented and violent attacks into Australia's judiciary system and the 40 years it took to bring him to justice.
Defamation laws overhaul
NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman has called for an overhaul of Australia's defamation law, arguing it hampers public interest journalism.
Mr Speakman said he will ask his counterparts across the country to agree to introduce national reform to "build a regime fit for purpose and fit for our times".
He said the absence of a successful news media defence was a clear signal defamation laws inhibited publications important to the public.
His comments follow several high-profile defamation cases against media organisations, including one which led to a record payout to actor Geoffrey Rush.
Alleged home invader in court
A man will appear before court today after an alleged home invasion in Sydney's east on Tuesday night.
Officers say a 43-year-old man was at his Queens Park home with his two children when he was allegedly threatened with a replica firearm and assaulted.
It's believed two men demanded cash, before fleeing.
Following inquiries, a 29-year-old man was charged and refused bail to appear before court today.
