Good morning. We lead today on the discovery of First Nations ancestral remains during work on a $3bn housing development north of Adelaide. An archaeological assessment determined it was a burial place dating from before colonisation, possibly one described by the 19th century explorer Charles Sturt. But the discovery has sparked fears and claims that it was a previously unknown massacre site.

In the Middle East, Hamas says it has suspended hostage negotiations because of Israel’s encirclement of al-Shifa hospital.

Plus, we look at the battle over unpaid superannuation, and a new report reveals the “dangerous disgrace” of our pothole-riddled regional roads.

Timber tradie Peter Myall was left at least $15,000 out of pocket from unpaid super when his employer of 20 years went bust in South Australia. His circumstance is sadly by no means unique – Industry Super estimated that in 2018-19 employers across Australia failed to pay $5bn of super. Now a battle is under way to help Australian workers recover their unpaid super, which unions call the last bastion of wage theft.

And the Australian has the story of the “bush bash” wedding of Barnaby Joyce and Vicki Campion.
