Some Qantas flights are being delayed thanks to debris from Elon Musk's SpaceX rockets.

The Australian airline confirmed several flights between Johannesburg and Sydney have been delayed for between one and six hours.

That's because of the re-entry to earth of SpaceX rockets above the southern Indian Ocean.



Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned the tycoon not to intervene in Australia's upcoming election.
