Salisbury offered to sell fantasy by the litre and meth.

Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was found dead on a footpath near Brisbane this morning.

A resident found the body of 29-year-old Trevor Doyle in a ditch between the footpath and the street in Slacks Creek, Logan, about 7am.

Detectives believe Doyle may have been meeting someone in Reserve Park off Gunungai Drive about 12 hours before his body was found with visible injuries.

"The movements of this gentleman leading up to his death are a little bit vague, they are the subject of ongoing investigations," Detective Inspector Chris Knight said.

"There are visible injuries observed by our officers that certainly allow us to treat this as a homicide and unexplained suspicious death."

Police have cordoned off the park, where a large crime scene has been established.

Dozens of forensic officers, detectives and SES personnel were seen going through nearby bins and doorknocking local homes today as they searched for items of interest and potential witnesses.

Locals have described the park as a safe area with a childrens' playground, frequented by families.

"We've been in this house for 18 years, this is the first time something like this has happened," a local resident told 9News.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact Policelink or call 131 444.

People with information can also call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Ministry says the recall affects sausages with a best-before date of August 17.

The upgrade has increased intensive care and high dependency beds from 10 to 16.

Convicted murderer Susan Neill-Fraser's bid to overturn a parole condition that prevents her from speaking to the media has experienced delays amid political turbulence.

The 71-year-old served 13 years behind bars after being found guilty of murdering her partner Bob Chappell, who disappeared off their yacht moored in Hobart in 2009.

Neill-Fraser, who has maintained her innocence, was released on parole in 2022.

She has lodged a legal challenge against a parole condition preventing her from communicating directly or indirectly with media to "claim her alleged innocence and/or wrongful conviction". 

The matter appeared before the Supreme Court of Tasmania for an administrative hearing today.

It was adjourned for another administrative mention on September 10, when it is hoped a date for a substantive hearing can be set.

Neill-Fraser's lawyer Patrick Coleridge told the court there had been some delay in the case and it was "getting a bit long in the tooth". 

The Human Rights Law Centre in April revealed it had filed legal proceedings against the "restrictive" parole condition.

Lawyer representing the Parole Board of Tasmania, Simon Gates, indicated he was appearing as a courtesy to the court and he did not have instructions from the attorney-general.

Tasmania's public sector is in caretaker mode after an election delivered another hung parliament, with a vote of MPs next week to confirm whether the Liberals or Labor rule.

Coleridge said he was seeking further disclosure of information from the parole board.

Speaking outside court, president of Neill-Fraser's supporter group, Rosie Crumpton-Crook, said slow progress in the case was disheartening. 

Neill-Fraser, who was not present in court, was initially sentenced to 26 years' jail in 2010.

She was found to have attacked Chappell on their yacht and dumped his body in the river, before attempting to sink the boat in order to get rid of evidence.

The grandmother has lodged several appeals against her conviction, including in the High Court, but all have failed. 

The Human Rights Law Centre says the media ban parole condition is improper, unlawful and in breach of the constitutionally implied freedom of political communication.

At a rally in 2024, Neill-Fraser's daughter Sarah Bowles said her mother was living with the limitations of her parole.

"She's unable to speak with you, she's unable to leave the state and has many, many limitations  on her life," Bowles told the crowd.

She was last seen wearing a pink top with blue or grey pants and white shoes.

Police believe the toddler may be in the company of a man and a woman both known to her.

The man is described as being aged in his 60s, is of Caucasian appearance, about 175cm tall, of a medium build, with short grey hair and brown eyes.

The woman is described as being aged in her 30s, also of Caucasian appearance, about 170cm tall, of a thin build, with black hair and brown eyes.

Hariet may have travelled to the Dubbo with the man and woman and could still be in this area, police said.

Anyone with information about the toddler's whereabouts is urged to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

David Ngatokotoru Martin has lived overseas for 36 years. Now’s he’s being deported to NZ.

The Government offered a 1% pay rise but the PPTA has deemed it too low.

Voices for Freedom says it has sold 4000 copies of a new book about the Covid-19 response.

Terrorist group Hamas has welcomed the federal government's decision to recognise a Palestinian state, claiming it vindicates the October 7 attacks that killed more than 1200 Israelis and sparked the retaliatory war on the Gaza Strip.

Anthony Albanese announced on Monday that Australia will officially recognise Palestine at next month's United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The prime minister said the move was predicated on a number of conditions, including demilitarisation, free and fair elections, and ensuring Hamas plays no role in the state.

Despite that, a senior member of the group, which was listed as a terrorist organisation by Australia in 2022, has told the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that the decision was courageous.

"We welcome Australia's decision to recognise the state of Palestine, and consider it an important step towards achieving justice for our people and securing their legitimate rights," Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef said in a statement to Nine newspapers.

"This position reflects political courage and a commitment to the values of justice and the right of peoples to self-determination."

Yousef also claimed the decision of Australia – which followed the lead of France, the United Kingdom and Canada – vindicated Hamas' attacks against Israel, including the October 7, 2023, assault that was the largest loss of Jewish lives in a single day since the Holocaust.

"These operations have drawn global attention to the Palestinian cause and compelled many countries and organisations to reconsider their positions, leading to greater support and recognition of Palestine as a state by some countries," he said.

"Resistance has proven to be an effective means to break the siege and bring the Palestinian cause back to the international discussion table."

Israel and the federal opposition have hit out at the Albanese government's decision, claiming it rewards Hamas.

However, the government has staunchly denied that accusation, and said recognition is the only way to bring about peace between Israel and the Palestinian people.

"Hamas is a terrorist organisation. It has no role to play," Albanese told Today yesterday.

"I've seen some of the comments that have been made about Hamas somehow being rewarded.

"Hamas is opposed to two states. This is the opposite of what Hamas wants. Hamas wants one state.

"And some, unfortunately, in the extreme elements of the Israeli Government want one state too.

"And when you have two people and hatred being fostered and essentially a military solution being put forward and no political solution, well, that's just an approach that will see this violence just continue to go on and on."

Meanwhile, Israel has continued to face condemnation from across the globe for its conduct in Gaza.

More than 60,000 people, many of them women and children, have died in Gaza in Israel's offensive, according to the enclave's Ministry of Health. The Health Ministry is part of Gaza's Hamas-run government, but staffed by medical professionals who maintain and publish detailed records.

After Albanese said on Monday that the Israeli government was defying international law, New Zealand counterpart Christopher Luxon said today that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had "lost the plot" as he weighs up whether to recognise a Palestinian state.

Luxon told reporters that the lack of humanitarian assistance, the forceful displacement of people and the annexation of Gaza were utterly appalling and that Netanyahu had gone way too far.

"I think he has lost the plot," added Luxon, who heads the centre-right coalition government.

"What we are seeing overnight, the attack on Gaza City, is utterly, utterly unacceptable."

Luxon said earlier this week that New Zealand was considering whether to recognise a Palestinian state.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached "unimaginable levels", Australia, Britain, Canada and several of their European allies said yesterday, calling on Israel to allow unrestricted aid into the war-torn Palestinian enclave.
