"New and credible information has come to light in relation to the search ... in the south Indian Ocean," Abbott told parliament. "The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has received information based on satellite imagery of objects possibly related to the search."

The AMSA said it would hold a media briefing in Canberra at 0430 GMT.
