• Western Freeway (M8): Police have closed the freeway in both directions due to numerous uncontrollable livestock wandering on the road. VR stock controllers and road patrols are also on site.

Three people have been arrested after police seized cash and drugs at a house in Melbourne's south-east.

They found more than $100,000 cash, a large quantity of methamphetamine and a firearm after a warrant was executed at Rosebank Drive about 5pm yesterday.

Two men, aged 34 and 30, and a 32-year-old woman are being interviewed by police.

It's set to be another big day in politics after Peter Dutton launched a second strike to topple PM Malcolm Turnbull last night. It may force another vote on the leadership today.
