Three teenagers are in police custody after a spate of early-morning offending across several Perth suburbs. Officers were called at about 4.10am on Saturday to reports of an intrusion at an Armadale shopping centre, where a clothing store, a sports retailer and a food outlet were allegedly forced open and property taken. Police say a grey Mazda 2 hatchback seen in the area had been reported stolen from a Cannington gym around midnight.
珀斯北部一家热门保龄球馆已无限期关闭,此前该馆于周一晚间发生火情。位于北珀斯菲茨杰拉德街的Rosemount Bowl(玫瑰山保龄球馆)连同附近的Pot Black(黑锅台球吧)和Bloodlines(血脉场馆)已被疏散。该公司在晚上10点左右表示,所有人均已安全撤离,无人受伤。目前不认为此次火灾可疑,相关处置工作由Department of Fire and Emergency Services(消防与紧急事务部)负责。一名目击者称火势始于厨房,但这一说法尚未得到官方证实。
西澳一个乡村小镇正将年度地方税收入的16%用于留住一名当地医生。Shire of Narembeen(纳伦比恩郡)每年向当地医疗诊所支付37万澳元,其中包括诊所、一辆汽车和一套住房。郡主席Holly Cusack表示,这一安排在财务上不可持续,但如果失去这位家庭医生,居民就得往返120公里才能看医生。Local Government Rural Health Funding Alliance(地方政府农村医疗资助联盟)的一份报告显示,七个地方议会合计每年约花费170万澳元来吸引和留住家庭医生。
西澳大利亚州的电气工程必须由持证专业人员完成,核实执照只需几分钟。电工执照和承包商执照均可通过州监管机构Building and Energy(Building and Energy)提供的公共在线查询系统进行核实。客户应确认执照仍然有效,且姓名一致。未持证施工可能带来安全风险,还可能导致房屋保险公司对理赔提出争议。持证承包商在大多数工程完工后还必须提交竣工通知。
