Queensland Health’s Indigenous Representation Crisis | Brisbane News

Southern Queensland Farmers Battle Drought | Brisbane News

Southern Queensland’s drought has officially returned for the first time in two years, hitting regions like Balonne, Goondiwindi, and Maranoa as farmers battle months of parched land and dwindling feed. With cattle producers especially strained — particularly around Roma — the government’s rolled out emergency interest-free loans up to $250,000 to keep farms afloat. While some see the drought declaration as long-overdue recognition of hardship, others tread cautiously on borrowing, weighing short-term relief against long-term debt. For now, farmers are making tough calls — weaning calves early, selling livestock — all while holding their breath for rain to break the dry spell.

Melbourne Man Guilty of Rape and Assault | Brisbane News

A Melbourne man has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault after a gripping three-week trial, with the jury rejecting his not guilty plea. The assaults allegedly occurred last March when the victim, a former personal assistant, said she declined physical contact during a night at a friend’s home — but was still attacked. Prosecutors argued inconsistencies in her testimony actually proved her honesty, while the defense labeled the case full of lies. The accused never took the stand. Body camera footage and testimony from friends and colleagues shaped the trial, with the victim’s emotional, four-day courtroom account proving pivotal. Sentencing is pending.
