Two Western Australian men have been charged after police seized several 3D-printed guns during a four-month operation.

A 59-year-old and a 38-year-old have been charged with six offences between them, including manufacturing and selling weapons.

Several properties were raided across the state including homes in Wundowie, High Wycomeb and Morangup.

In one raid at a property on Louisa Circle in Morangup, an hour north-east of Perth, police allegedly found four 3D-printed guns, a 3D printer and electronic devices with schematics, and several 3D-printed gun parts.

The gun bust worried WA Police. 

"Our concern is they fall into the wrong hands, they do fire live rounds and they are a risk," Deputy Commissioner Kylie Whiteley said.

"The issue for us now [is] that these can be made in backyards and homes, and the concern for us is we're seeing an emerging trend where that's increasing."

The 59-year-old Marangup man was charged with manufacturing a gun and possessing gun technology without a licence, along with other weapons offences.

The younger man, from Gosnells in Perth's south-east, was charged with selling a firearm without a licence.

In June last year, an 18-year-old was arrested and charged with a similar string of offences, including printing a working semi-automatic rifle.

3D printing expert Elliot Theunissen, owner of E-Jet 3D Printing, said many manufacturing blueprints were available online.

"We should crack down more on removing those weapons off the internet then you can cut back on people both printing and traditionally manufacturing these things," he said.

The 59-year-old is due in Northam Magistrates Court on September 11 and the 38-year-old will face Midland Magistrates Court on October 20.

At least two people have been hospitalised in the past two weeks after slips.

Wages growth in Australia has slowed, fuelling hopes that the Reserve Bank will once again keep interest rates on hold in September.

The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed wages grew by 0.8 per cent in the June quarter, with annual growth down from 3.7 to 3.6 per cent – slightly lower than the RBA's own forecast of 3.7 per cent.

The figures mean wages have increased by 0.8 per cent for three consecutive quarters, even though fewer workers received a pay rise in the latest reporting period.

"Compared to a year ago, fewer jobs had wage increases this quarter, however, on average, the increases received were higher," Michelle Marquardt, ABS head of prices statistics, said.

"In particular, the share of jobs which received increases above 3 per cent was the highest for a June quarter since 2012."

The ABS said the tight labour market was contributing to those higher raises.

"Wage rises from regular June quarter salary reviews were higher than in the same period last year, as recent cost of living and labour market pressures were incorporated into organisation-wide decisions on wages," Marquardt said.

June saw the biggest annual increase in public sector wages since March 2013, while private sector wage growth was largely consistent with last quarter.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the data was welcome news.

"If we want to tackle the cost of living pressures that people are facing right around the country then a very good place to start is to get wages moving again so that more people can work more if they want to, earn more and provide for their loved ones," he said.

"So this is a very welcome outcome today."

The RBA expected annual wages growth to be at 3.7 per cent for the June quarter, according to its latest statement on monetary policy, before rising further later in the year.

The softer-than-expected wages figures will have mortgage holders hoping the RBA will keep interest rates on pause for the third consecutive month when the board meets in September.

A man accused of making a bomb threat on a flight from Sydney to Malaysia asked passengers whilst in the air if they were "a slave to Allah".

Mohammad Ali Arif, 45, has been charged after the Malaysia Airlines flight MH122 departed Sydney at 1.40pm yesterday and landed safely back on the runway at 3.47pm, where it sat for hours with emergency vehicles nearby.

The Canberra resident refused to front court today and asked for a mental health assessment.

Passengers have described their terrifying experiences.

"My name is Mohammad, a slave of Allah, are you a slave of Allah?" video shows Arif saying on the flight.

It's alleged he claimed to have a bomb in the backpack he was holding.

Video shows him taking out a mat to pray on as the plane descended.

"The crew were trying to get him to take the bag off, he said 'don't touch my bag, I've got a bomb in here'," a passenger said.

"He had a bag in his front and his hand in his bag, saying he had a bomb, so that was pretty scary," said another.

The plane was grounded on the tarmac for nearly three hours, causing 32 domestic inbound and outbound flights to be cancelled, with other flights delayed more than 90 minutes.

A pilot questioned authorities about the length of time they were stuck on the runway.

"We seem to have lost contact with the … whoever is in charge of what's happening to us and we have been on the ground for two hours without any updates," the pilot said over the radio.

Two Federal Police officers boarded the plane at 6.30pm and detained Arif. All passengers disembarked by 7pm.

Many on board have been critical of the police response, asking why it took so long to get them off the plane.

"We sat there for over two hours, just sitting there thinking are we going to blow up or something, it was just so bad," a passenger said.

Former police officer Peter Moroney said there were a number of protocols officers had to go through.

"There is a number of intelligence they would have been trying to do to ensure the safest outcome for those passengers."

Arif trained as an architect in Pakistan, recently worked as a security officer and posted videos of his faith online.

Federal Police alleged this morning that Arif had claimed to have explosives on board.

They said a 45-year-old Canberra resident had been charged with one count of making a false statement about threatening to damage a division three aircraft, and one count of a passenger not complying with cabin crew's safety instructions.

He is facing 10 years in jail and a $15,000 fine for each offence.

‘It’s a big thing for the Crown’ – Crown lawyer Jason Gough

A local mayor has called for privacy amid the intense interest surrounding the deadly mushroom poisonings which killed three people in Victoria.

South Gippsland Mayor Nathan Hersey said locals in Korumburra are asking for privacy, as the case made headlines around the world.

"This is not Midsomer Murders," Hersey said.

"This is Korumburra, this is people's lives,"

Earlier this week it was revealed Erin Patterson, 48, from nearby Leongatha, wrote to homicide detectives detailing her version of events on that deadly lunch on July 29.

Patterson admitted she lied to investigators and claims she ended up in hospital herself after also eating the beef Wellington that killed Don and Gail Patterson – Patterson's former in-laws – and Heather Wilkinson.

A fourth person, Reverend Ian Wilkinson, a pastor at Korumburra Baptist Church and Wilkinson's husband, is critical in hospital after eating the same meal.

In the statement to police, Patterson denied any wrongdoing.

Locals say Korumburra, a town of less than 5000 people is a tight-knit group but has been clouded by gossip and the public interest in the unexplained deaths.

Local Rob Buchan said residents are discussing what is happening.

"People are talking about it as we always do about things that happen in our community," Buchan told 9News.

"It's one of those things you gotta be really careful about what you do and what you say because we don't know until we know."

Police believe toxic death cap mushrooms were served at the lunch.

Patterson says she bought dried mushrooms from a supermarket and an Asian grocer in Melbourne, which is 90 minutes' away, and mixed them with fresh mushrooms purchased locally.

No mushroom-related recalls or warnings have been issued in Victoria, other than an annual alert about the risks of poisonous death cap and yellow-staining mushrooms.

The Australian Mushroom Growers Association has reminded consumers to always buy mushrooms from a trusted retailer and not to pick or eat mushrooms growing in the wild.

St Joseph's Church in Korumburra will open at 9am on Saturday for people to pay tribute to the victims.

He visited two Bunnings stores in Waikato and bought items used for camping.

Cheers and cries of joy erupted from four Australians the moment they were found off the Indonesian coast after surviving two days at sea.

Footage shows the moment Steph Weisse, Will Teagle and Jordan Short are found floating in the sea on their surfboards.

The exhausted, wet and scared trio let out cries of joy along with their rescuers when they were found.

Earlier a family member confirmed to 9News that three of the surfers, including Weisse, Teagle and Short had been found alive after they went missing when their boat ran into bad weather on Sunday night.

Elliot Foote was found a few hours later after reportedly paddling off on his surfboard to get help.

His dad received the joyous, albeit blase, text message confirming he was alive.

"Hey dad. Elliot here. I'm alive. Safe now!! Love you. Chat later," the text read.

A photo posted to Instagram shows Foote and two friends enjoying a drink to celebrate his survival.

Another post shows injuries Foote suffered while stuck at sea for two days.

For the other families, it was the same cry of relief finding out their loved ones were alive and recounted to 9News the agonising nearly 40 hours waiting for the good, or bad news.

The four, who are from Sydney, were on a surf trip to celebrate Foote's 30th birthday.

Three local crew members had also been on board the boat, two of whom have been located.

The search is ongoing for the last Indonesian crew member.

"Our thoughts are with the family of the third crew member, for whom the search continues," a Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said.

'We can't wait to welcome them home'

NSW Premier Chris Minns said it was "incredible news" that the group was found.

"A huge thank you to all those who were part of this days-long search," he tweeted.

"This would've been such a tough time for Elliot, Steph, Will and Jordan, as well as their families.

"We can't wait to welcome them home."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the nation is relieved that the group was found safe and well.

"We thank the DFAT officials and Australian government agencies who have assisted with the search and rescue efforts," he said.

"But we particularly thank our Indonesian friends, who, once again have come to Australia's support in a time of need."

The Department of Foreign Affairs added in a statement it was pleased to confirm the four Aussies had been found alive.

"The Australian Government expresses its deep gratitude to the Indonesian authorities and others involved in the search and rescue efforts," a spokesperson said.

"The department is providing consular assistance to the four Australians, and to their families."

How it unfolded

A group of 12 had travelled to Indonesia to celebrate Foote's 30th birthday at the popular surf destination.

The group was separated on two wooden fishing boats, one with eight of the group and the other carrying Weisse, Foote, Teagle and Short.

They left Nias Island off Sumatra and headed for a surf resort on Pinang Island on Sunday night.

But bad weather forced one boat to seek shelter.

The other boat was caught in the storm and disappeared, with the four Aussies on board.

Basarnas, the National Search and Rescue Agency in Indonesia, said the boat had gone missing near an island in the Banyaks called Sarang Alu.

The authority said waves were three to four metres high amid heavy rain and it was dark when the group went missing.

Once Indonesian authorities were involved then the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it was working closely on search and rescue efforts.

It was a huge operation between Indonesian police, military, Australian authorities and a local surf group run by Aussies.

The search had been suspended on Monday night and resumed at first light on Tuesday when the group was found.

The group was found off Tengku Island, part of the Bankyaks this morning.
