  • Brisbane Sellers Crush National Profit | Perth News

    Brisbane’s real estate market is defying national trends, with sellers pocketing a median profit of $525K—way above the national average of $371K. While prices are cooling nationwide, Brisbane’s five-year gains act as a cushion, shielding sellers from early downturns. Unlike Melbourne, where many unit sales now result in losses, Brisbane remains a hot spot for profit. As the market normalizes after years of wild growth, new sellers are adjusting expectations—and those holding out on inflated past values may be stuck. With economic uncertainty and interest rates still volatile, timing your sale matters more than ever. For now, Brisbane’s resilience shines bright.

  • Weight Loss Drugs: Risks and Real Dangers | Perth News

    Australia’s weight loss drug crisis is escalating—over 2,800 adverse reactions and 62 deaths linked to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. A terrifying new twist: a counterfeit version of experimental drug retatrutide caused a hospitalization after tearing a patient’s esophagus. Still in trials, retatrutide is being sold illegally in plain vials online, with regulators warning it could contain anything dangerous. Eli Lilly and the TGA are sounding alarms as unregulated peptides slip into the market without safety checks. Even approved drugs carry serious risks—from digestive issues to vision problems—making informed caution more critical than ever.

  • Teen Girl Targeted on Sydney Bus | Perth News

    A shocking hate-filled attack on a 13-year-old Muslim girl named Janna on a Sydney bus has ignited national outrage. The man, who targeted her after she defended another student, unleashed vile racist slurs calling her a “terrorist” and “immigrant dog,” even threatening violence against her community. Caught on video, the abuse was both terrifying and deeply disturbing. Authorities arrested a 50-year-old man on charges of stalking and intimidation; he’s denied bail and faces court soon. Politicians and anti-Islamophobia groups are condemning the incident, warning that young victims are increasingly targeted — while NSW’s premier reaffirmed that Muslim girls deserve to live, learn, and move freely without fear.

  • School Charged After Student Hammer Throw Injury | Perth News

    A school in Adelaide is facing serious legal consequences after a 13-year-old student was critically injured during a hammer throw practice in September 2024, leaving him in a coma. Two years later, SafeWork SA has charged the school’s parent company with multiple safety failures—including poor supervision, untrained staff, and inadequate risk assessments—highlighting dangerous proximity between javelin and hammer events and a non-compliant safety cage. If convicted, the school could be fined up to $1.5 million under the Work Health and Safety Act, underscoring the vital need for safety in school athletics. The case remains active in the South Australian Employment Court.

  • Victoria to Expand Knife Searches | Perth News

    Victoria is set to empower police with unprecedented knife-detection powers, allowing them to scan anyone in public spaces using handheld metal detectors—no warrant required. Inspired by successful models in Queensland and NSW, the plan aims to roll out by early 2027 if the government wins the next election. This marks a dramatic U-turn from past opposition, fueled by a recent Federal Court ruling that invalidated previous targeted search zones—including Melbourne’s CBD—and heightened pressure from families grieving violence. Supporters cite Queensland’s success, where thousands of weapons have been seized, while critics warn of racial profiling and lack of proven crime reduction. With bipartisan backing from Liberals and Nationals, and a pledge to buy 1,200 new scanners, this move signals a major escalation in Victoria’s war on knife crime.

  • Kim Kardashian’s Paris Jewelry Heist Aftermath | Perth News

    Kim Kardashian walks away with symbolic damages after a Paris jewelry heist that shocked the world — and left her traumatized. In 2016, thieves stole her $4 million engagement ring and other priceless gems from a luxury hotel, leaving her fearing for her life. Now, in a 2025 civil ruling, she’s awarded just one euro — but the emotional scars remain. The mastermind behind the robbery, Aomar Ait Khedache, got three years in prison, while seven others were convicted. Most of the stolen jewels, including the ring, are still missing — a chilling reminder of how fast chaos can strike and how long its shadow lasts.

  • Charges Surge in Domestic Violence and Traffic Offenses | Perth News

    New South Wales is seeing a dramatic surge in domestic violence charges — not because assaults are up, but because police are charging more frequently, with the rate jumping from 67% to 73% over two years. Driven by new tech that catches intimidation over the phone and a more aggressive policing approach, officials hail it as progress toward safety — but experts warn victims may face re-victimization. Meanwhile, charges for driving while disqualified and drug possession are also climbing, largely due to better detection, not more crime — and court caseloads for adults have soared 11.6% in just two years, far outpacing normal growth.

  • Teenagers vs Croc at Perth Zoo | Perth News

    Two teens, 16 and 17, sneaked into Perth Zoo after dark and dared Dangalabba the croc—using a chocolate milk bottle to provoke him. One jumped in, grabbed a pole, allegedly attacked the croc, smashed cameras, then climbed out while his buddy watched with a flashlight. The zoo says Dangalabba suffered minor injuries; authorities charge them with animal cruelty, criminal damage, and trespass. One is held, the other bailed—and the bailer claims he didn’t mean to hurt the croc. A wild, dangerous stunt with real legal and animal consequences.
