It comes with an old style lodge, three chalets and two safari tents.

“This is costing me my family, not just my baby.”

She wants party members to consider a special general meeting on the High Court findings.

The number of Perth drivers hit by seatbelt fines from artificial intelligence-based cameras has soared, with tens of millions of dollars in penalties handed out for 40,000 fines in the past five months.

Hundreds of motorists who argue their fines are unfair are preparing to take their cases to court but there are no apologies from the state's top cop.

When Olivia Wood's eight-year-old daughter's seatbelt shuffle was snapped on the Kwinana Highway in Salter Point it almost cost the Perth nurse her licence.

"I always make sure my kids have their seat belts in at the beginning of the trip and throughout the whole trip," she told 9News.

But Wood was hit with eight demerits and a $550 fine.

"You can actually see from the image that her seat belt is plugged in, she may have momentarily adjusted her knee," Wood said.

She's one of a growing many who plan to fight the infringement in court. 

"I think what would be much better … would be that if she was taken into the police station, given some education," Wood said.

Police Commissioner Col Blanch maintained a hard-line stance on road safety. 

"We also want people to make sure at the start of a trip that adults in the car are wearing their seat belts, kids are wearing their seat belts, and they continue to do so," he said.

"But that doesn't neglect your duties from looking at the windscreen being safe as well. 

"People can do both things at the same time. "

Transport expert Ross Taylor is preparing to face court after his granddaughter shifted her sash, landing his daughter in hot water.

"As a single mum with three neurodivergent children, to have her car is really fundamental to getting the children to medical appointments, to school," he told 9News.

An email account he created to help others in the same situation has received about 200 responses.

"Absolutely 100 per cent of the people that have made contact with me, in every occasion they acted honestly and reasonably at the beginning of the journey to make sure their passengers were correctly buckled in," he said,

In one instance, a front-seat passenger with a shoulder injury snapped wearing the sash off to the side, leaving the driver with eight demerit points and a $550 fine.

A new mother with mastitis who moved the strap off her sore chest was caught twice by AI cameras and slapped with $1100 in fines.

The Road Safety Commission review into WA AI camera legislation and penalties is expected to report next year. 

In the meantime, lawyers are preparing to challenge a spate of seatbelt fines in court.

"We've been approached by a group currently containing in excess of some 80 potential clients who are aggrieved by their infringements and are wanting to explore their legal options," Parella legal barrister and solicitor Tom Dellar told 9News.

Some drivers have already been successful in having fines overturned but others have been forced to pay after their penalties were upheld. 

"The cameras only capture a single moment in time, and if the driver honestly believed that their passenger was properly belted up, and it was reasonable for the driver to believe that, then they may have a defence," Dellar said.

But the commissioner remained firm. 

"One in five deaths on WA roads is seatbelt related; 2026 started with our highest number of road deaths in years," Blanch said.

"Wear it properly. It's designed a certain way by very smart people, much smarter than me."

The fine saga is growing by the day as more drivers find they're copping penalties for how their passengers wear seat belts.

The Road Safety Commission is looking at what can be changed, but ultimately it is a decision for the government, and that could be cold comfort for drivers. 

"These safety cameras are about changing behaviour," a government spokesperson said in a statement. 

"Drivers were issued an eight-month warning period. 

"The law is clear and responsibility remains with the driver to ensure passengers wear their seatbelt correctly."

‘Your behaviour was cowardly … it was utter gratuitous violence.’

Footage of the chilling moment a woman was stabbed at random inside a Melbourne shopping centre, allegedly by a teenager on bail, has emerged.

Police allege a childcare worker was on her way to work when she was stabbed by a 16-year-old boy at the M-City Shopping Centre in Clayton just before 8am yesterday.

CCTV footage shows the 25-year-old Mount Waverley woman walking through the centre, when a male appears from behind a wall and follows her onto an escalator.

Standing behind her, the male allegedly pulls a knife from his pocket and stabs the woman in the back.

He then ran down the escalator and allegedly fled the scene.

The woman turned around, appearing to look confused, before running up the escalator.

She remains in a serious but stable condition at The Alfred hospital.

The 16-year-old boy was arrested a short time later at a medical centre in Clayton.

He has been charged with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury, assault with a weapon, possessing a controlled weapon, theft and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.

He has been remanded to appear at a children's court at a later date.

The Helena Bay hill slip is expected to take 15,000 truckloads to clear.

The party has unveiled its ‘first tranche’ of candidates to contest the election.

Paranoid beliefs of covert police surveillance and fears that his son would be taken away led a drug-abusing father to brutally murder his three-year-old.

The 48-year-old took the child into the bathroom of his aunt's Sydney apartment in May 2023, one-and-a-half hours after learning his partner had made a domestic violence complaint to police about him.

Having to unlock the door of the bathroom with a butter knife, his aunt found the pair lying in a pool of blood in an attempted murder-suicide.

The boy, who was three years and nine months old, could not be revived.

In a phone call from jail after his arrest, the man told his partner he "did himself" first and then asked his son what colour he saw.

"The boy said red," he said.

"Do you want to be red too? (He) said 'yes' and then I did it," he told his partner.

The 48-year-old also told prison staff he had killed his son because he wanted them to become two ghosts.

The man, whom AAP has chosen not to name to protect the victim's identity, was jailed for up to 28-and-a-half years in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday after pleading guilty to murder.

Justice Paul McGuire imposed a non-parole period of 18 and a half years, expiring on November 30, 2041.

"By killing his own infant, the offender has perversely and egregiously breached the trust, protection and love that (the boy) deserved," he said on Friday.

The boy's biological mother died of natural causes in April 2021.

The father recommenced a relationship with his ex-girlfriend six months later and soon started using methylamphetamine.

The couple had previously split in 2014 over his violent behaviour and drug use.

Days before the murder, he accused his partner of infidelity, smashing her phone and assaulting her in the bathroom of his home.

He also expressed delusions that police were watching him, including thinking two loss prevention officers at a supermarket were police in disguise.

Unable to contact his mother, he abandoned his home west of Sydney, taking his partner and son to his aunt's apartment.

While he was out looking for a place to live, his girlfriend packed her bags and left, calling police to make the domestic violence complaint.

After his arrest while in hospital, he told staff he knew he would be arrested but had no family members to help take care of his son.

He said he tried to kill himself and his son so that the Department of Family and Community Services would not put the child into foster care.

On Friday, Justice McGuire found the man was experiencing bizarre beliefs spurred by paranoia that his son was better off dead than being cared for by someone else.

The man had only made very limited expressions of contrition and remorse.

Recent claims to a forensic psychiatrist that he heard voices telling him to "kill everything he loved" at the time of the murder were inconsistent with statements made to police and hospital staff soon after, the judge noted.

Justice McGuire reduced the non-parole period, however, after finding the man's time in custody would be more onerous because of his mental illness.

He was also likely to spend it in protective custody because of the nature of his crime.

The judge expressed his condolences to the boy's family, noting the impact of the murder.

The child's grandparents described the man's behaviour as horrific and selfish, while his sister could not comprehend his cruel and heartless actions.
