The actor and director was caught sending images to a ‘decoy’ police detective online.

Police have laid the charges against building management, two years after the tragedy.

The housemate of a missing Bundaberg teenager has been released without charge after being questioned by police.

Queensland Police yesterday took 34-year-old James Wood into custody over the disappearance of 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop three weeks ago.

No charges were laid.

Bishop disappeared three weeks ago.

She lived with Wood and his partner Tanika Bromley in a share home in Gin Gin.

They were the last people to see her after they dropped her off at Bundaberg Airport to fly to Western Australia via Brisbane about 8.30am on May 15.

Pheobe was meant to visit her boyfriend in Western Australia but, according to police, never checked in for her flight or entered the terminal.

Police, with the help of the Homicide Investigation Unit, are continuing to investigate Pheobe's suspicious disappearance.

Last week, police suspended their search of the Good Night Scrub National Park, about an hour away from where Pheobe was last seen, which had been a focus in the investigation.

They said they found evidence linked to the teen's disappearance but have not said what they found.

Detectives also said they believe evidence had been moved from the bushland prior to their search.

Two crime scenes have been declared — the home in Gin Gin and her housemate's grey Hyundai ix35 with registration 414EW3.

A search of the car led police to allegedly find a shortened firearm, ammunition, and two replica handguns.

More ammunition was allegedly found at a home in Gin Gin. 

Bromley and Wood have since been charged with unrelated weapons offences. 

They remain before the courts on the weapons charges.

A polar blast has left millions shivering this morning as it sweeps through south-east Australia.

Sydney and Brisbane are both enduring their coldest mornings of the year so far, after Sydney had its coldest day of 2025 yesterday, the Bureau of Meteorology's Jonathan How said.

Temperatures bottomed out at 11 or 12 degrees in some suburbs of southern Brisbane.

But that sounds like a balmy spring day next to the NSW town of Goulburn, where How said the temperature this morning was -7 degrees.

"We will see a mild and sunny day today, but there is more cold weather on the way," How said on Today.

He said while the first week of winter had proven particularly chilly due to the current cold front, above-average temperatures were expected throughout the season on the whole.

But another polar blast is predicted to hit Australia on Saturday and Sunday.

Adelaide is expecting rain tonight, while Melbourne will see falls tomorrow, How said, before the new cold front moves in on Saturday and Sunday, to also affect NSW and Queensland.

"So it is typical for this time of year, but a bit of a shock to the system," How said.

The German city of Cologne has finished evacuating 20,500 people, its largest evacuation order since World War II, after officials defused three massive, unexploded bombs.

The American bombs – two 20-tonne weapons and another that weighs 10 tonnes – were found in a shipyard on Monday, the city said, causing a huge "danger zone" to be sealed off early on Wednesday.

A hospital, two retirement centres and the city's second-largest train station were among the facilities emptied out. Schools, churches, museums and two of the city's cultural landmarks – the Musical Dome theatre and the Philharmonic Hall – also fell within the evacuation zone.

The discovery of unexploded weapons is a frequent phenomenon in Cologne, which was decimated by Allied bombing during World War II, but no operation of this size has been carried out since the end of the war, the city said.

"At 7.19pm, the three unexploded bombs that had paralysed large parts of the city were defused. Experts from the ordnance disposal service Rheinland of the Düsseldorf district government rendered them harmless," city authorities said in a statement.

Streets and buildings are being gradually reopened, and residents can return to their homes and apartments, the authorities added.

Allied nations conducted 262 air raids of Cologne during World War II, killing approximately 20,000 residents and leaving the city in ruins.

Nearly all of the buildings in the Old Town were destroyed, as were 91 of the city's 150 churches.

A massive reconstruction effort took place after the war, with the Old Town rebuilt and major landmarks restored.

But small evacuations still take place on a regular basis when unexploded ordnances are found. About 10,000 residents had to leave their homes last October when another American bomb was found, and last December, 3000 people were asked to evacuate.

Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie has told a senior Liberal figure to "read the room" after his comments to the party's NSW women's council.

Former Victorian treasurer and former federal Liberal Party president Alan Stockdale told a meeting of the NSW Liberal Women's Council that women in the party were "assertive" and that the men might need protection in the future.

Stockdale later said his remarks were a joke and regretted that people "felt disrespected", the Australian Financial Review has reported.

But opposition leader Sussan Ley, the first woman to head up the Liberals, issued a statement saying "assertive women" were encouraged to join the party.

"There is nothing wrong with being an assertive woman," she said.

And this morning, McKenzie joined the chorus of condemnation.

"It was a shocking comment," she told Today.

"I think it's time for Alan to head back to the Melbourne club, have a stiff whisky, and chat with the old boys about what went wrong."

She pointed out that 45 per cent of the Liberal MPs in NSW were women.

"I mean, we've had thousands of years of men running the show. We've finally got a foot in the door. We're coming for you. And it's not bad thing, right?" she said.

She said women needed to be assertive to represent their communities in parliament.

"I don't want to disrespect those who've gone before us, but the reality is our parliaments and our political parties have to reflect our communities," she said.

"I think we need more assertive women because we have to fight for the future of our country and our communities. That's why you send us to places like Canberra."

The recently-reformed Coalition unveiled its shadow cabinet last week, sparking criticism including from within the party after high-profile women were moved out of shadow ministry positions.

West Australian teen Nick Campo's mother is disappointed her son's killer driver has been sentenced to just three years and two months behind bars.

A judge today found the 17-year-old driver, who can't be named, was encouraged to speed by his passengers, saying they were all morally responsible for the tragedy.

Nick had just made it to adulthood but a high-speed crash while celebrating his 18th birthday ended it all.

"Nick was a really good kid and he was very much loved by all of us," mother Bianca Campo said, outside court.

Nick and some mates were catching a lift to a nightclub when the ute they were in collided with a Jeep in North Lake last July.

The promising footy player was killed instantly and three other passengers were seriously injured. 

"It's something we have to live with everyday for the rest of our lives," Bianca said.

"We've been quite broken."

The 17-year-old driver was today jailed for two years and seven months for Nick's manslaughter, plus an extra eight-month term for the combined dangerous driving charges. With time served, he could walk free as early as mid next year.

"We don't feel it was enough and I really don't think it sets a good example for young people," Bianca said

There were five boys in the Toyota Hilux and four of them, including the driver, had snorted cocaine. 

The judge also found the P-plater was being encouraged to drive recklessly, racing to beat the club's midnight lockout. 

His ute had been dangerously modified, with the front passenger seat facing backwards, and only two seat belts, including his own, working.

"Please just make sure your kids know to do the right thing when they get into cars because this is like a pain that's unbearable, it really is," Nick's mum said.

Children's Court president Hylton Quail said although the legal consequences fell on the driver alone, the moral responsibility of the tragedy was shared by everyone who got in the car. 

"As his honour described in the sentencing, there are no winners here," defence counsel Michael Tudori said.

Nick's parents are now on a mission to educate young drivers in their boy's honour.

"It's something no one could understand until you've had to live it and I really feel for people who have to go through this," Bianca said.

A witness to events before an alleged murder where two people were locked in a toolbox and drowned has admitted to a jury he lied to police.

Stou Daniels, Davy Malu Junior Taiao and Trent Michael Thrupp are charged with murdering Cory Breton, 28, and Iuliana Triscaru, 31, at Kingston in Logan, south of Brisbane, on January 24, 2016.

Lelan Harrington, a former flatmate of some of the defendants and friend to the alleged victims, agreed under defence cross examination in the Queensland Supreme Court that he lied to police about Breton owing money to Daniels.

Daniels' defence barrister John Fraser asked Harrington today if he had told a "massive lie" to police when he made a statement that Daniels was present at the lagoon when the toolbox containing the alleged victims was thrown into the water.

"It was a lie. Not a massive lie," Harrington said.

Fraser asked if Daniels would have told a "huge lie" if he hypothetically said to police Harrington was present at the alleged murder scene.

"Yes," Harrington said.

Harrington had earlier testified Thrupp told him he had killed Breton and Triscaru.

"I asked him what it was like," Harrington said.

"He said 'I opened the toolbox and they begged for their lives' and he shot them in the head."

Harrington said Thrupp told him he put holes in the toolbox to make it sink and then weighed it down with tyres and pieces of concrete.

The bodies of Breton and Triscaru were found in the toolbox at the bottom of Scrubby Creek two weeks after they were allegedly murdered.

Crown prosecutor Nathan Crane previously told the jury they would hear forensic evidence the pair likely died from drowning but their remains were too decomposed to be certain.

All three defendants pleaded not guilty to two murder charges at the start of their trial on Monday.

Crane said the prosecution would allege Thrupp was present with another man at Scrubby Creek when Breton and Triscaru were locked in the toolbox and thrown into the water.

Daniels, Taiao and Thrupp were accused of going to a multi-storey residential unit where Breton and Triscaru were tied up, assaulted and tortured in the hours before they died.

Harrington said he had been living upstairs at the unit when the defendants lured the pair inside because they thought Breton might be a "dog" by informing police about their drug dealing.

"I could hear the duct tape. I heard the hit. Everyone jumped on him," he said.

Under cross-examination, Harrington admitted he was high on methamphetamine when the alleged victims arrived and was later convicted of assault occasioning bodily harm and deprivation of liberty for assisting in their violent interrogation.

Harrington said he later went downstairs to see Breton and Triscaru sitting on a couch in the living room while bound with cable ties and duct tape.

"(Breton) had a stab wound above his front knee. I could see the blood," Harrington said.

The jury heard Triscaru started "hyperventilating" when Harrington helped carry a two-metre-long toolbox into the living room.

"That's when (Triscaru) started freaking out. Cory sat there numb," Harrington said.

The jury heard Taiao hit the alleged victims in the head to get them to lie down head-to-toe in the toolbox, which was carried to the back of a HiLux utility vehicle.

"(Daniels) stood there giving the orders … (Breton and Triscaru) were banging and screaming pretty loud," Harrington said.

"We had the music in the car turned up to the max."

Harrington said he did not go in the HiLux to the creek and instead helped clean bloodstains in the unit.

The trial continues before Justice Glenn Martin.

A group of teenage boys have been released from police custody pending summons, after they allegedly stole a gym patron's car and led police on a wild chase through Melbourne's south-east.

The group allegedly used a stolen pass to enter a gym in Wantirna about 11.30pm last night.

There, they allegedly took the keys to a gym patron's Mazda 3.

Police rushed to the gym car park where they arrested one of the males.

The remaining offenders avoided capture, allegedly dropping a machete as they fled in the stolen Mazda.

The car was then tracked to the Dandenong area about 1am, where it was travelling southbound on Eastlink.

The Mazda then began driving in convoy with another allegedly stolen car, both speeding through Seaford.

Stop sticks were deployed on Cranbourne Road.

The Mazda continued to drive and was allegedly dumped near Moate Street a short time later.

Officers searched the area and arrested two males, one of whom had climbed onto a nearby roof.

"We heard the commotion of 'get on the ground, get on the ground'," a nearby resident said.

"For it to happen out the front of home, yeah, it was a little bit scary."

The second car, a blue Toyota Echo was dumped in Kerry Street, Langwarrin, where three males allegedly tried to flee on foot.

They were quickly arrested at the scene.

The Toyota was allegedly stolen from Mont Albert earlier this week.

The six teens are aged between 15 and 18 and are mostly from the Boroondara area.

They have all been interviewed and released pending summons.

The investigation remains ongoing.
