Here's what you need to know this morning.

Glebe fires

Suspicious fires have damaged homes, a shop and a car overnight at Glebe in Sydney's inner west.

The first fire was reported in a shop just before midnight and the front verandah of a home was damaged a few minutes later.

A garage and a second house were then set alight, minutes before a car was torched.

Two people had to be evacuated from the homes.

Police have set up crime scenes at every fire and are calling for witnesses to come forward.

NSW coroner spruiks pill testing

Drug users would be free to test pills at music festivals under draft recommendations reportedly being proposed by the NSW coroner.

News Corp has reported that senior police and government ministers believe the draft recommendations by coroner Harriet Grahame could reduce police presence and powers at music festivals.

The suggestions follow a coronial inquest into the drug related deaths of six young people at NSW music festivals.

Deputy leader of the Federal Nationals Bridget McKenzie told Channel Nine she had many concerns, and believed the law should be applied equally everywhere.

"There is a reason drugs are illegal — it's cause they do you great harm ... my personal belief is that we can't have places in our community where the law doesn't apply," she said.



Funding ICAC

A parliamentary inquiry will examine the way the NSW government budgets for independent bodies, including the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Electoral Commission.

Greens MP David Shoebridge said the process should be transparent, particularly considering the money went towards keeping governments and other institutions accountable.

"If you're talking about setting the right budget for the Independent Commission Against Corruption, that should not be done in secret," he said.

"We need to make sure that these key oversight bodies have sufficient budget to do their job.

"We need to have a process that involves more than a secret negotiation between them and the NSW Treasury."

Charges over buying gun online

A man will face court today after he allegedly arranged to purchase a pistol and ammunition online.

Police arrested the 21-year-old man at a car park in Rockdale in Sydney's south last month.

He has been charged with attempting to acquire a firearm without a licence.

Aboriginal youth have joined NSW police to build a bark canoe as part of a program designed to improve relationships between the two groups.

The Fit Together program started on Monday and will run in the Wollongong area for the length of the school term.

It's aimed at reducing reoffending and building self-esteem among 10- to 17-year-olds.

A group of students from Woonona East Public School helped build the canoe, which will be presented to the NSW Police Commissioner at the end of the program.
