  • Housing Crisis Deepens Amid New Funding | Perth News

    The government just poured $300 million into crisis and transitional housing, targeting 500 new homes by 2029—specifically for women and children fleeing domestic violence. But with the nation on track to miss its broader goal of 1.2 million homes by 2029 (now projected for late 2030), critics are sounding alarms. The $10.9 billion Housing Australia Future Fund has delivered just 1,400 homes so far—far below its 40,000 target. Meanwhile, MPs Nicolette Boele and Allegra Spender are pushing for a national definition of “affordable” housing, arguing that inconsistent definitions risk misdirecting taxpayer funds—and Treasury is now weighing the financial impact of different models.

  • Flight Attendant Charged With Drug Smuggling | Perth News

    A 26-year-old flight attendant, Meena Kondo, is facing serious drug charges after Australian authorities discovered over a kilogram of heroin hidden in tote bags she was carrying at Melbourne Airport. With a street value of half a million dollars, the case has sparked national attention—and now, both sides are reportedly negotiating a potential resolution without trial. Still in custody, Kondo’s next court date is set for October 12th, as prosecutors and her legal team work to avoid a lengthy trial that could land her up to 25 years in prison. This isn’t an isolated incident—border officials warn airlines remain prime targets for smuggling rings exploiting staff roles, and anyone caught will face the full force of the law.
