Thanks very much for reading Need to Know this Sunday, April 21. Here are some of this morning’s biggest developments:

• Musk’s X operating ‘above the law’, says Dutton: Both sides of federal politics have pledged tougher action against social media giants spreading distressing and inflammatory content, with Peter Dutton describing X’s refusal to take down footage from the Sydney stabbings as a sign the platform considers itself above the law.
• US passes stalled $95b in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan: The US House passed $US61 billion ($95 billion) in fresh aid for Ukraine on Saturday (Sunday AEST), ending a six-month political impasse during which Kyiv’s stockpiles dwindled in its war against Russia.
• Higgins says ‘time to heal’ and ‘sorry’ to Reynolds, Brown: Brittany Higgins, the former Liberal staffer who was raped by her colleague Bruce Lehrmann in Parliament House in 2019, said it was “time to heal” now her assailant’s high-profile defamation action against Network 10 was over.
