Thank you for joining us as we covered the day’s biggest headlines.
We sign off after a heated question time in parliament,the first since the Easter break,during which Liberal Leader Libby Mettam accused the government of dragging its heels on new domestic violence legislation that would compel courts to impose GPS monitoring on family violence perpetrators.
Domestic violence,sadly,is rarely far from the headlines. Throughout the day we brought you reactions to the horrible story of a 24-year-old Jigalong woman who was beaten savagely in Perth’s CBD by her partner.
The 28-year-old man was jailed over the horrific attack,.
And WA’s education minister has sought to distance a letter sent by parents from Rossmoyne Senior High School raising concerns of radicalisation with the fatal police shooting of an extremist 16-year-old student at the weekend.
Tony Buti confirmed he had received a letter from parents at Rossmoyne,but clarified.
The letter,Buti said,had nothing to do with the boy who died,and the two should be treated as separate issues.
Meanwhile,Labor risks losing office or sliding into minority government if it cannot hold key seats in WA,where it made big gains at the last election.
And the biggest shift? Male voters,.
Finally,to Mexico,where the deaths of Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson.
Thanks again for joining us,and remember to tune in tomorrow for more news,as it happens.
