  • Ukraine Offers Ceasefire on Energy Targets | Perth News

    Ukraine’s Zelenskyy says his country is open to halting strikes on Russian energy targets—but only if Western allies guarantee Russia won’t retaliate by attacking Ukrainian infrastructure, food supply lines, or critical sites. He dismisses Trump’s claim of a bilateral deal, stressing Ukraine hasn’t formally agreed and remains skeptical Russia will honor any such pledge. Zelenskyy insists any ceasefire must be credible, lasting, and truly in the people’s interest—while both sides continue targeting each other’s energy and Black Sea assets, a fragile pause has emerged since Trump’s intervention blaming Ukraine for global diesel shortages.

  • Whyalla’s Steel Future in Question | Perth News

    Australia’s steel industry just took a major hit as the Whyalla blast furnace shut down — one of only two primary steelworks in the country and the sole producer of critical structural steel and rail. While the government claims the closure was necessary due to aging infrastructure and frames it as a step toward modernization, critics call it a “brutal blow” that could force Australia to rely on foreign steel for national security. The future hinges on two bidders — M Resources and Jindal Steel — who are eyeing the site not just for its legacy operations but for nearby iron ore deposits, with a key condition: they must commit to keeping steelmaking alive. The deal is expected to close by end of 2026, setting the stage for a controversial transition that promises new tech but leaves big questions about Australia’s steel independence.

  • Radiohead Returns to Australia | Perth News

    Radiohead’s long-awaited return to Australia in May 2027 has sent fans into a frenzy—first tour in 15 years, tickets sold out in minutes. Known for blending rock with jazz, electronica, and experimental sound, they’ve redefined music since the ‘90s. From their groundbreaking pay-what-you-want album “In Rainbows” to masterpieces like “OK Computer” and “Kid A,” they’ve stayed ahead of the curve while rejecting fame and staying true to their art. Their music tackles heavy themes yet radiates euphoria—a paradox of intellectual depth and global appeal. Essential tracks? “Paranoid Android,” “Everything In Its Right Place,” and “Fake Plastic Trees.” With a core lineup intact for nearly 40 years, they’re proof that innovation never goes out of style.

  • Rate Hikes Crushing Ordinary Australians | Perth News

    A Perth homeowner is furious as the Reserve Bank’s relentless interest rate hikes crush everyday budgets, arguing that decision-makers with their cushy salaries can’t fathom the real-life squeeze on ordinary families. With no room left to cut back, they’re demanding accountability — why punish households when big businesses and overseas outsourcing might be the real culprits? The ripple effects are hitting small businesses and even renters, fueling a growing cry for fairness: policies that hurt the most vulnerable while ignoring the real drivers of inflation.

  • Pippa Mae’s Legacy Drives New Health Advocacy | Perth News

    A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded when three-year-old Pippa Mae White died from sepsis just weeks before her birthday, sparking a national reckoning over hospital care in NSW. Her mother’s testimony exposed critical failures — understaffing, missed warnings, and misjudged medical assessments — as doctors initially downplayed her daughter’s worsening condition. Tests later revealed severe pneumonia, with her lung completely obscured on scans. In response, Pippa’s family helped launch “Raise It,” a new government program empowering parents to directly speak with senior health workers when they fear their child isn’t getting proper care. Inspired by Pippa’s death and the recent loss of two-year-old Joe Massa, Raise It officially rolled out in March — its success will be closely examined as coroners deliver findings. The case underscores urgent needs: better sepsis recognition in toddlers and mandatory training for all healthcare staff.

  • Hanson’s Student Visa Crackdown | Perth News

    Pauline Hanson’s party is pushing for a drastic cut in international student visas—reducing over 750,000 temporary visa holders in three years, slashing university grants by half, and eliminating secondary visas for family members. This comes as universities, heavily reliant on international student fees, face serious financial strain. Meanwhile, a surge in bridging visas and rejected applications has created a massive tribunal backlog of over 53,000 cases, despite recent reforms. Critics warn the plan targets “visa-hoppers” but risks crippling Australia’s education sector and economy.

  • Alan Jones Faces Assault Allegations | Perth News

    Former radio host Alan Jones faces serious allegations in Sydney, including indecent assault and sexual touching without consent, as a former sportsman testifies about unwanted kisses at events and in his apartment. Text messages from Jones—filled with affectionate declarations like “I love you” and “I want to kiss you for hours”—contradict the complainant’s insistence on a platonic, “mate”-level relationship. This isn’t Jones’s first rodeo: he’s currently charged with 22 counts across six victims, with incidents dating back to 2003. His defense hints at possible motives like rivalry or opportunism, while the complainant says he repeatedly set boundaries to avoid discomfort and embarrassment. Jones remains not guilty and composed in court as testimony continues.
