Bondi terror attack hero charged; Free prison Ozempic handouts | 9 News Australia

Описание: In a major legal update, Bondi terror attack hero Ahmed Al-Amed will fight to clear his name after being charged with common assault and stalking or intimidating his father in Western Sydney following an incident on March 9.

On the economic front, taxpayers are copping the bill in Victoria as it is revealed that inmates in Victorian prisons are receiving free doses of premium weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, sparked by an obesity-related custody death years ago.

Concurrently, a new report shows that skyrocketing cigarette taxes have driven an 80% boom in illicit tobacco sales since 2017, causing legal sales to plummet as Australians seek cheaper alternatives.

In politics, the newly re-elected South Australian Labour government has delivered a "no-frills" budget featuring a $2.5 billion housing package and cost-of-living relief, despite state debt climbing past $50 billion. In Canberra, the federal government’s controversial changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax have successfully passed the Lower House, setting up an intense Senate showdown. This comes alongside a stern warning from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michelle Bullock, who cautioned mortgage holders that interest rates could rise further this year to combat stubborn inflation.

Internationally, we cover an incredible story of survival where missing Mount Everest Sherpa guide Dawa Sherpa was found alive after six days, a terrifying grizzly bear attack on a tourist car in Romania, and a bizarre political dilemma in Alaska involving two candidates named Dan Sullivan.
