Perth electrician Bill Simpson has started a 10-day stint living rough on the city's streets, with nothing but the clothes he is wearing. He aims to raise $100,000 for homeless charity We Are Mobilise through Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge. Mr Simpson said the idea came after meeting homeless people in Kalgoorlie, and he wanted to do more than buy them food. He plans to isolate for the first 24 hours, then beg for food before moving into busier city areas.
西澳大利亚州的檀香木生产商表示，政府尚未清楚说明将以什么取代目前的采伐令，该采伐令将于今年年底到期。该采伐令允许每年采伐2,500吨野生檀香木。有关监管权拟从Forest Products Commission（林产品委员会）转移至Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions（生物多样性、保护与游览部），这使采伐者和出口商对未来投资感到不确定。州长Roger Cook（罗杰·库克）表示，政府正在广泛征询意见。包括油品制造商Dutjahn（杜加恩）在内的部分生产商表示，这一过渡早在意料之中，产业也已有时间做好准备。
