    AFL and NRL seasons kick off this weekend
    Feb 26 2026
    The AFL and NRL seasons are set to commence with the Swans hosting Carlton at the SCG on Sunday, following the NRL's opening weekend in Las Vegas where the Cowboys face the Knights and the Dragons take on the Bulldogs. Charlie Curnow's move from Carlton to Sydney adds emotional weight to the AFL opener, while Carlton's strong pre-season form against Brisbane and Geelong suggests they remain competitive despite the loss. Both NRL matches in Vegas carry serious premiership implications despite the festive atmosphere, with 15,000 Australian fans expected to attend.

    Government refuses taxpayer help for ISIS brides' return
    Feb 26 2026
    Health Minister Mark Butler confirms the Australian government will not provide taxpayer resources to help ISIS brides return from Syria, despite claims from a Sydney doctor that the women would accept jail time to bring their children to safety. The discussion also covers Treasury modelling on potential negative gearing reforms that would cap investment properties at two, with debate over whether tax changes or increased housing supply would better address affordability challenges for young Australians.

    Hillary Clinton testifies on Epstein knowledge
    Feb 26 2026
    Hillary Clinton testifies before a Congressional panel about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, with her husband Bill Clinton scheduled to testify the following day. Both Clintons deny any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities, though Bill Clinton's name appears in related files and he reportedly travelled on Epstein's plane after leaving office. The couple has accused the Republican-led panel of playing partisan politics, while commentators note that names from both political parties, including President Trump and Commerce Secretary Lutnik, also appear in connection with Epstein.

  • AI cameras catch kids with incorrect seatbelts

    AI cameras catch kids with incorrect seatbelts
    Feb 26 2026
    New AI safety cameras on Western Australian roads are detecting hundreds of drivers daily whose passengers, particularly children, are not wearing seatbelts correctly. Parents are receiving $550 fines and eight demerit points when children move their seatbelts, even momentarily, with approximately 80% of detected offences involving incorrectly worn seatbelts rather than unclipped ones. The Road Safety Commission is now focusing on education as parents express frustration over the strict enforcement, particularly in cases involving neurodivergent children with sensory issues.

    Perth grandfather survives direct lightning strike
    Feb 26 2026
    A 78-year-old Perth grandfather survived a direct lightning strike while walking his daughter's dog in Hammersley during a violent summer storm that produced over a thousand lightning strikes across the city. The bolt killed the dog, Messi, and left Michael Day with burns to his chest and leg, exploding his phone and destroying his clothing. The same storm system caused two teenage girls to be struck by lightning at a school in Mount Helena, knocked out train services, cut power to homes, and sparked a house fire in Nolamara.
