  • Bali Tragedy: Father and Kids Found Dead | Perth News

    A chilling murder-suicide in Bali has left a Perth family shattered: a 56-year-old father and his two young children, aged six and four, were found dead in their bungalow after the mother received a terrifying phone call where her daughter begged “stop daddy.” Too traumatized to speak, she alerted authorities, who discovered the bodies—children smothered, father likely taking his own life. Police are racing to piece together the tragedy amid a grieving mother’s silence, forensic evidence, and security footage, as they investigate a man with maritime ties whose final moments ended in unimaginable horror.

  • Youngest Snowtown Killer Set for Release | Perth News

    After 26 years behind bars — the full minimum sentence — the youngest killer in Australia’s most notorious murder case, James Vlassakis, is finally set to walk free. Once just 18 when he helped orchestrate four of the eleven brutal killings in Snowtown, Vlassakis now faces parole after his release was confirmed by the state’s Court of Appeal. His testimony helped convict two other murderers, and a recent court decision lifted a 25-year media ban, making this moment not just legal, but deeply symbolic for a community still haunted by the gruesome discovery of eight victims in barrels inside a bank vault back in 1999.

  • Two Women Face Anzac Day Graffiti Charges | Perth News

    Two young women, Edith Pope and Charlie Tidmarsh, face serious charges after spray-painting offensive graffiti on RSL clubs in Melbourne on Anzac Day—with slogans like “f--k the Anzacs” and “death to the ADF.” Charged with criminal damage, graffiti, and grossly offensive conduct, their case is stalled in Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court, with legal arguments set for December and a full hearing next March. The pair have faced online threats, prompting suppression orders and court appearances masked or wigged—actions the magistrate deemed inappropriate without justification. Medical certificates submitted for their appearances were deemed vague but accepted. Their identity and courtroom behavior will likely be central as the case unfolds, with their next court date scheduled for December 3rd.

  • Holiday Airfares Set to Rise | Perth News

    Airfares could spike ahead of the holidays as Aussie airlines slash flights and grapple with soaring fuel costs — but profits are up, with Qantas and Virgin reporting record earnings despite the squeeze. Expect 6-10% jumps in revenue per seat next year, while fewer flights mean tighter seats and higher prices, especially on the busiest routes like Melbourne-Sydney.

  • Victoria’s Political Crossroads | Perth News

    Victoria’s political race is heating up as Labor struggles to secure a fourth term, trailing the coalition by just two points and facing stiff competition from One Nation. New Premier Ben Carroll lags behind Opposition Leader Jess Wilson in voter preference, while public sentiment leans pessimistic—more expect things to worsen than improve. Key policies like the Suburban Rail Loop East and Labor’s free dental plan are under fire, with voters skeptical of their value. The Greens hold steady at 12%, while independents surge to 8% thanks to grassroots efforts like Climate 200’s push for community-backed candidates. With the coalition needing just 16 more seat flips to win, this election promises drama, shifting allegiances, and a hunger for change across the state.

  • McConnell Returns to Senate Floor | Perth News

    Senator Mitch McConnell made a cautious return to the Senate floor this week, his first appearance in three months, as he continues recovery from a fall that left him briefly unconscious and battling mild pneumonia. At 84, he moved slower than usual and acknowledged he’s not yet at full strength, but vowed to be present for key votes as he prepares for retirement in January. His return coincides with critical legislative work on the farm bill and strong support for NATO allies against Russia. Staff quietly asked reporters not to record video of his remarks — though photos were allowed — underscoring the sensitivity around his health. Recent incidents, including freezing mid-speech after a March concussion and a wrist sprain, highlight the physical toll of his long career. Still, McConnell’s presence signals resilience and commitment as he wraps up four decades in the Senate.
