And a battle is brewing in the southern Perth foothills with hundreds of people gathering at the weekend from as far as Bunbury, Busselton and Midland to oppose a sand mine set to clear banksia woodland in the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire.

And in a disturbing domestic violence case, Perth woman Sue didn’t hesitate to begin the separation process after her husband of 15 years stabbed her in the chest. But she couldn’t have predicted what happened next.
