A doctor who lives in a $12million mansion in Sydney's eastern suburbs has been hit with more indecency and sexual assault charges relating to female patients at his longtime bulk-billing practice.

The GP, who has been operating the no-fee medical centre in Australia's densest public housing suburb, Waterloo, for four decades, is now charged with assaulting or sexually touching eight female patients, including one from the age of 15.

Dr Andrew Small was initially released from police custody in May, when the general practitioner was held overnight in police cells after being charged with five offences against four female patients.

NSW Police re-arrested him, took him to Mascot Police Station, and laid five further charges, including alleged offences against the patient who was 15 years old. 

The offences include three charges of aggravated sexual touching of another person and one of aggravated sexual intercourse with a person aged 14 to 16.

He is also charged with one count of aggravated indecency with a person aged 16 and under authority. 

Dr Small has practised at Waterloo Medical Centre since 1987 and lives in a luxury home with a swimming

A North Dakota mother slit her three children's throats in a frenzied attack before sending a chilling five-word text message to their father, police say. 

Kailey Erhart, 22, allegedly stabbed her daughters Morgan, three, and Ava, five months, to death at her Mandan home on Thursday evening, according to an affidavit obtained by KVLY.

She also allegedly knifed her one-year-old son, Colton, but the little boy survived the attack after undergoing extensive surgery. Police say he sustained serious injuries.

Erhart carried out the 'horrific' attack after waving a gun at her estranged husband, Cameron, and chasing him and the children's grandmother out of the house with a knife, the affidavit said.

When police responded at the home, they said they found Erhart covered in blood and holding a kitchen knife to her own throat.

Officers found the three children lying on the floor after following a trail of blood to a nearby bedroom, the filing said. They were unresponsive and had wounds on their necks, per the document.

Before the attack, Erhart texted a video to Cameron warning him to 'say goodbye to your kids,' the affidavit said. 

The 14 passengers onboard a motorboat that capsized in the New York harbor on Saturday night were celebrating a surprise birthday party.

Family and friends had chartered a 2019 21-foot white Yamaha AR210 from Zeus Luxury for Paula Rivera's surprise 41st birthday party, her daughter, Sara Raez, told the New York Post. 

The group then boarded the boat, which Raez described as 'kind of like a yacht' at around 7pm. They then passed by the Statue of Liberty and were heading back to shore when tragedy struck at around 10.30pm.

'The water got into the boat,' Raez recounted. 'The boat went up, and when it went down, it was, in seconds, it flipped over.'

All of the passengers were then left stuck underneath the vessel, she said, before crews rescued them and pulled them from the water.

'We were just trying to get out. Then, when finally everyone got out, everyone was screaming.'

Sara Sanchez, 27, and her five-month-old daughter, Antonella Garcia, were ultimately airlifted to NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn in critical condition and were later pronounced dead.

A dozen others were also transported to

The family home of Stone Roses legend Gary 'Mani' Mounfield has been placed on the market nine months after the musician's death – with a £1.05million asking price.

The much-loved bassist died at the property near Stockport, Greater Manchester, last November aged 63.

His death came almost two years after his beloved wife Imelda died from cancer at the age of 52, tragically leaving the couple's twin teenage sons orphaned.

Now, the family's imposing five-bedroom period residence has been listed for sale with a seven-figure guide price.

The substantial semi-detached Victorian house, situated in the sought-after suburb of Heaton Moor, is described by estate agents as 'oozing charm and character'.

Pictures taken inside the property reveal unmistakable traces of Mani's celebrated life in music, with guitars, framed mementoes and memorabilia connected to his beloved Manchester United still visible.

Its four floors include five double bedrooms, three bedrooms and cellar rooms that appear to have been used by Mani as his own retreat, with piles of records, a guitar rested on an armchair and a portrait of former United striker Eric Cantona.

Local estate agents John Mellor described the property as 'a stunning

Older Brits are ditching expensive retirement flats at home for cut-price Spanish ones abroad - where the pound goes further and the facilities are top-notch.

Expats say they'd rather live on the Costa Blanca than pour their money into so-called assisted living complexes in the UK, which have been exposed as money pits that many people struggle to sell.

Rather than buying a flat that threatens to swallow their cash, British retirees are investing in cheap retirement-ready property that comes with a swimming pool, libraries, transport and 24-hour on-call medical aid.

One such community is Ciudad Patricia, a 24-acre retirement community of landscaped parkland in the hills above Benidorm, where residents can buy a flat for around £200,000.

Sheila Morris, 87, moved with her partner Howard, 85, into the complex in 2018, paying around 320,000 Euros - £274,000 at current exchange rates - for a flat.

Some flats start from as little as 240,000 Euros (£205k) for a 65-year-old but the upfront purchase price falls by 3,500 Euros (£3k) for every year up to 80, for a maximum discount of £45,000.

On top of this, the couple pay a service charge of just over

Terry Smith and her sister, Sherry, have lived at the end of the cul-de-sac on Little Mountain Drive for the last five years. 

Smith describes her Virginian neighborhood as friendly, a place where everyone talks to each other, and most importantly, it's quiet. It was their prized slice of the American dream. 

But that's all about to change, as city officials have proposed building a 900-megawatt data center at Summit View Business Park, which is a mere one-fourth of a mile from Smith's home in Rocky Mount, near Roanoke. 

'It's literally in my backyard,' Smith, 53, told the Daily Mail. 'It's in a quiet neighborhood. You never hear any kind of a disturbance.

'It's unfathomable that these people aren't considering the impact on the people in the immediate area.' 

She and the 100 or so households in her section of the neighborhood are worried the proximity of the data center will destroy their home values and their sanity.

'I just feel the Board of Supervisors is not considering the lifelong impact of the environment,' she said. 'And I don't feel like they're considering the people who are affected immediately, like myself and the cul-de-sac.'

Labor and its all-too-blind apologists are forever instructing Australians to respect lived experience. There is one striking exception these days: economic hardship.

When Australians say they can't afford their mortgage, rent, groceries or electricity bills, the PM and Treasurer reach for the talking points. Unemployment is low. GDP is growing. National wealth is high. Australia retains its triple-A credit rating.

Therefore, apparently, the distress is imagined, exaggerated or incompatible with the official story. It sometimes feels like the Morrison years are ongoing.

The old line about 'lies, damned lies and statistics' has endured because data points can mislead without being false. The most effective statistical misdirection doesn't require fabricating data, it merely requires selecting the figure that answers the question you wish you'd been asked.

Australians aren't angry because they have failed to understand the statistics. They're angry because mainstream politicians keep using statistics to misunderstand them. To excuse failures.

Labor ministers have made this sort of macroeconomic roll call a standard feature of their spin. To be fair, both sides of politics do it. The Coalition for years while in government relied on positive-sounding data points rather than enacting necessary economic reforms.

Dear Vanessa,

My mum has always been the one who held our family together - but two years ago she was diagnosed with cancer. 

Since then, I've been the one taking her to specialist appointments, managing her medications, buying her groceries, paying her bills and helping her stay in her own home. 

As her health declined, she asked me to help with her banking and day-to-day finances because it all became too overwhelming for her.

I never thought twice about it. She's my mum.

My two brothers, however, have been largely absent. One lives interstate and says work makes it difficult to visit. The other lives just half an hour away but somehow always has an excuse.

Three weeks ago, Mum was admitted to palliative care.

A Scottish Greens politician has sparked outrage after saying that rape exists 'on a spectrum' and rapists should not be 'demonised'.

MSP Q Manivannan, who also described the idea of 'monster rapists' as a 'myth', made the comments during a podcast recording with Dr Sindhu Rajasekaran for The Subjective Space in February 2025.

Manivannan, who is trans non-binary and currently in Scotland on a student visa, was elected as an MSP for the Edinburgh and Lothian East region in this year's local elections.

They are currently in the process of applying for a graduate visa and 'global talent visa' – one of which they must secure if they are to serve a full-term in Holyrood.

The global talent visa would enable Manivannan to live and work in the UK for the entire five-year parliamentary term and beyond.

A student visa includes a series of restrictions such as only being able to work part-time during term time for a maximum of 20 hours a week, and not being able to fill a permanent vacancy. 

Asked by Dr Rajasekaran about compassion in forgiving acts of violence such as rape, Manivannan said:

A Melbourne party boy and 'addiction recovery coach' was caught in an alleged Amazon-style drug distribution racket. 

Heavily-tattooed Adam Avignone-Green, also known as 'Adam Antony', fronted the Melbourne County Court on Thursday charged with trafficking simpliciter - a legal term for the standard offence of trafficking in a drug of dependence.

Avignone-Green, a well-known supplement promoter within the city's fitness and party scene, appeared in court after allegations he was caught trafficking drugs in St Kilda in March 2023.

The accused, who once bragged online about completing the gruelling 75 Hard challenge, a 75-day fitness and self-discipline program, was set to be arraigned on the trafficking charge but it was adjourned so that he could make an application to have his matter heard in the drug court rather than the regular criminal division. 

The court heard that Avignone-Green was the 'principal' in the alleged racket where drugs were advertised from a website and then distributed from a St Kilda warehouse.

'We have him as a principal, he is integrally involved in the operation,' prosecutor Peter Pickering said. 

'Whether that is sitting in front of the computer and putting stuff on the

A multilingual Double Bay doctor facing domestic violence charges has been asked to translate his alleged victim's French medical certificate excusing her from flying home from Europe to get in the witness box.

Lotus-driving Walid Kesserwani is the founder and CEO of Medisport Clinic in Sydney's eastern suburbs and boasts of treating professional sportspeople including NRL and AFL players.

In June last year the 44-year-old chiropractor was charged with choking and assaulting his former girlfriend Ludivine 'Ludi' Elisabeth, who runs a boutique luxury travel consultancy.

Kesserwani was due to face a hearing on Thursday at Downing Centre Local Court but it emerged Ms Elisabeth had called in sick and could not make the journey back from France.

The prosecution sought an adjournment but Kesserwani's barrister Greg Stanton objected, noting an earlier hearing date had already been vacated.

Mr Stanton questioned the reliability of Ms Elisabeth's medical certificate, which was written in French, and raised concerns about her communications with the officer-in-charge of the case.

The medical certificate stated that Ms

This is the shocking moment a car ploughs into a cyclist before speeding away from the alleged hit-and-run.

Parvez Ahmed Rahman, 33, has been charged with attempted murder and failing to stop while a man in his 50s fights for his life in hospital. 

CCTV footage allegedly shows the moment the suspect smashes into the cyclist on a residential street in east London at 11.15pm on Thursday.

The driver appears to plough into the victim at speed before several witnesses rush over on Aylward Street in Stepney Green.

The cyclist was raced to hospital with life-threatening injuries after paramedics treated him as a 'priority' before racing the man to a major trauma centre.  

Rahman was initially arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road incident and being unfit to drive through drink or drugs.

He has since been charged with attempted murder and failing to stop but not with being unfit to drive through drink or drugs.

Rahman appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court on Saturday where he was remanded into custody. He is due to appear at the Old Bailey on September 4.
