DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025 — How Not To Pervert Forgiveness

DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — How Not To Pervert Forgiveness TOPIC: How Not To Pervert Forgiveness (DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025) KEY VERSE: “Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away” (Ezra 10:6). TEXT: Ezra 10:6-8 (KJV) 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; 8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE: People often forget the cost of forgiveness. Consequently, they treat sin with levity. But with God, sin is serious, and He deals with it seriously! The Cross is an awful reminder of what it cost God to procure forgiveness for mankind. Sin sent man out of Eden’s delight and caused God’s only Son to die on the Cross. So, don’t ever trivialise sin or pervert God’s forgiveness. Today’s text describes Ezra’s attitude and drastic response to the sins of the Israelites who returned from exile. No sooner had the people returned from captivity than they began to walk again, the path that led them to exile. They got into mixed marriages with the heathen and adopted pagan practices in violation of God’s commandments. Ezra responded promptly and took steps to rectify the situation. He fasted and mourned over the people’s unfaithfulness and assembled them to make proper restitution. Ezra was troubled and showed deep remorse when he heard that the priests, Levites, and leaders of Israel were ringleaders in this sin. Though he interceded for the people and asked God to forgive them, he took drastic action to deal with their sins. Ezra knew it was futile to expect forgiveness without leading the people to repent and make necessary restitution. Ezra’s response to the sins of the people challenges us to examine ourselves concerning our attitude to sin. If we allow sin to linger in our lives and the congregation or treat it with kids’ gloves, we risk becoming hardened by its deceitfulness. Before long, we may begin to tolerate and make excuses for evil. This is how some people get to a point where they think they can obtain God’s forgiveness by glibly confessing their sins without forsaking them or making necessary restitution. That is nothing but perverted forgiveness. However, the appropriate way to deal with sin is to repent, confess, and forsake it. Genuine conviction compels you to put away your sin and make appropriate amends. THOUGHT FOR THE DAYBe urgent; deal with sin drastically and promptly. THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:Ezekiel 6-8 Deeper Life Daily Manna For Today 2025 was written by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi; is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church situated at KM 42 on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Nigeria.

Are water bottles not allowed inside Dhaka metro trains? Here's why lighters are confiscated from passengers at stations

Gas-based pocket lighters and water bottles were being confiscated in plenty after authorities tightened security checks of Dhaka Metro passengers on Thursday morning. The security at every metro station has been beefed up, and Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited's (DMTCL) Managing Director (MD) Faruk Ahmed was personally leading inspections to see if the tightened security measures were being followed, Bangladeshi media reported. The backpacks and other belongings of passengers were being thoroughly checked across metro stations, with even water bottles being asked to be left behind to ensure 'public security,' Prothom Alo said in a report. Photos shared on X showed piles of pocket lighters at stations after being confiscated from passengers. The security procedures were increased to ensure no untoward incident happens ahead of the announcement of the verdict date of a case of crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). The accused in the case include ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, and former IGP (Inspector General of Police) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun (Approver or Rajsakshi). The tribunal has set Monday as the date for the verdict in the case. 17 buses have been set on fire across the country in the wake of the Awami League's online 'lockdown', Prothom Alo said, adding that 16 of the incidents occurred in Dhaka and its surrounding areas. It is likely that the security personnel are taking no chances with inflammable substances and liquid containers inside the metro trains.

‘Tiger abhi zinda hai’: JD(U) poster sparks buzz on Nitish Kumar's role post Bihar polls

As Bihar is all set for the counting of votes for the assembly elections on Friday, a Bollywood-style poster has been erected outside the JD(U) office in Patna, featuring Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, with the caption 'Tiger abhi zinda hai' (Tiger is still alive). The poster, which described the party supremo as the 'protector' of all communities—dalits, mahadalits, backward classes, upper castes and minorities—was dedicated by party leader and former minister Ranjit Sinha. Interestingly, it surfaced amid rumours of a rift between the JD(U) and its ally, the BJP, over the chief ministerial candidate. Even though the BJP has maintained that Nitish will lead the government if the NDA comes to power, speculations are rife that the saffron party may demand the top post if it gets a significantly higher number of seats in the alliance. In 2020, Nitish offered to support a BJP candidate as chief minister after his party won only 43 seats, but the BJP, which bagged 74 seats, insisted he remain in the post. There has not been a major shift in the electoral arithmetic in the last five years, but the political tone has changed. According to reports, the saffron party is no longer ready to play second fiddle to the JD(U), which was evident in the seat-sharing agreement—the two parties contested an equal number of seats (101). Meanwhile, the opposition has been targeting the ruling alliance over the alleged discord over the chief ministerial post, with both the RJD and the Congress claiming that the BJP will not allow Nitish to continue as CM. Opposition's CM face Tejashwi Yadav has also claimed that JD(U) is not controlled by Nitish but by leaders 'brought by the BJP'. Polling to the 243-member assembly was held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with the counting set to take place on November 14.

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay Face Allegations of ‘Body Shaming’ Against Peaty’s Mother

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s entourage faces accusations from Peaty’s family of ‘body shaming’ his mother. Allegations surfaced suggesting she wasn’t welcome at their wedding because she supposedly didn’t meet certain appearance standards. The 30-year-old Olympic swimmer and his 25-year-old fiancée plan to wed at Bath Abbey during the Christmas season. However, a lingering family feud means only one member from Peaty’s side is expected to join the festivities. With claims circulating that Adam’s mother Caroline doesn’t ‘fit in’ with the Ramsays, the Peaty family has accused them of shaming a woman in her 60s for her appearance. Furthermore, they argue that Adam is not staying true to his Christian values by excluding his family from the wedding. They also allege that Adam sent his mother alternative clothing options, implying disapproval of her original choices. On the other side, a source connected to the Ramsays highlights ‘broader issues’ within the Peaty family, suggesting these are at the core of the ongoing conflict and are quite serious. The insider reveals that Holly and Adam have faced ‘horrible’ threats of violence, prompting police involvement in the matter. On Wednesday it was revealed how ‘shaken’ Adam was met by armed police as he arrived back to the UK following sinister threats while on his stag do in Budapest, Hungary. The tirade of comments from Adam’s side of the family come after a source close to the situation explained why they were no longer invited to the nuptials. Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind, they said: ‘You only have to look at the picture to see that there is a certain “type”, says one person familiar with the party. ‘They all look the same and you wonder if Caroline might have stuck out a bit. She’s a normal woman, not a celebrity. You look at Holly’s Instagram and it’s all so planned, so super-glam and very, very showy. That’s not Caroline.’ More about the jaw-dropping reason Holly and Adam banned his mum from wedding and hen do can be read in Katie Hind’s exclusive Mail+ article here. In the hours after the comments were revealed, Adam’s family reacted to the reports on social media as they accused the person who made them of body shaming. Adam’s auntie Louise Williams, wrote: ‘How can Adam and Holly ‘source’ sit there and say Caroline wasn’t invited because of the way my sister looks? ‘She doesn’t suit the look Holly is looking for????! WTF BODY SHAMING A 60 YEAR OLD WOMAN! JESUS CHRIST ON A CRACKER!’ She added: ‘Yes. Adam is a born again Christian. He’s not living by the tenets of Christianity is he? Where is ‘honour thy mother and thy father’ where is the forgiveness?’ Another person close to the situation, Louise McCallum, wrote: ‘He was trying to dress his own mother because they didn’t approve of her outfit choice. The lad has clearly forgotten where he came form. Could do with reading some of those bible passages he spouts.’ The family were accused of ‘airing their dirty laundry’, as one person wrote: ‘You guys are dragging your dirty laundry into the public. Your lack of decorum would be the first indication as to why you’re not invited to the wedding.’ Louise Williams wrote: ‘Decorum? What century are we in?’ When Adam and Holly sent out their wedding invitations it should have been a day for celebration, however, Adam’s family were in fact quietly panicking about the cost of attending the swanky soiree in Bath, believing the swimmer would be ashamed to have them there because of their humble origins. Their concerns came to light amid the ugly fallout between Adam and his mother, with the sportsman coming under fire from his working class family members, who have accused him of being seduced by the wealth and fame of the Ramsay family. Adam’s loved ones have stated they can’t afford to attend his nuptials because they are on benefits, and have also lambasted the star for the way in which he’s treated his beloved mother Caroline. It emerged on Monday that Adam had banned Caroline from attending the wedding after a row erupted when bride-to-be Holly didn’t invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party at swanky Soho Farmhouse attended by celebrities like Victoria Beckham. Now shocked family members have spoken out against Adam, with Caroline’s sister saying: ‘he’s said the most vile things a son can say to his mother.’ Adam is said to have had his head turned by Holly’s fame and money – and now feels ashamed of his own working-class family who made huge sacrifices and shelled out hundreds for his swimming lessons growing up. A source close to his family described the gradual breakdown of things with his mother, saying this week: ‘It’s partly because Adam doesn’t feel his family is good enough for the new one he is now part of’. And now the Peatys have hit out at the potential extravagance and cost of their upcoming nuptials in Bath, stating: ‘We were sent a “save the date” and it’s all these country houses. I’m on Universal Credit – I can’t afford that. ‘Adam has been changed by money, fame and fortune. He seems to have forgotten where he came from.’ Adam’s mother was a nursery manager and his father a supermarket caretaker. Adam and Holly’s ceremony is taking place at Bath Abbey before famous guests head to lavish country estate Kin House. Kin House is located near the pretty town of Chippenham, a 40-minute drive from the centre of Bath. The sought-after wedding venue can accommodate 200 guests on site, with 12 bedrooms suitable for up to 24 guests. The starting price for a full weekend wedding is £32,750, with bespoke menus for different clients. As Adam’s family are based in the East Midlands trains to Bath would cost approximately £100 for a return ticket. Given there are only 12 rooms in the country house, it is unlikely all of his immediate family would be able to stay there if they did attend. If his family won’t be accommodated in the 12 bedrooms on site, there are other pricey options available in the area including Babington House. The stunning estate is a branch of the Soho House group, which is also where Holly enjoyed her hen do at the exclusive Farmhouse retreat in the Cotswolds. Rooms there start at £300 a night. It comes as Adam’s aunt has claimed that the swimmer has ‘said the most vile things a son can say to his mother’ and hit out at ‘group of bullies’ in a series of raging new posts on Tuesday. Adam’s aunt Louise Williams has been weighing in on the feud with posts on threads and clapped back at someone in her comments on Tuesday who criticised her for posting publicly on social media about the family troubles. She furiously claimed that Adam had said ‘the most vile things a son can say to his mother’ and stuck the knife in further by saying her family ‘place real value on love and loyalty’. Louise replied to a user named @nikkkith on threads saying: ‘Another bootlicker. Away with you. If you want to worship fame and fortune go ahead. Our family and friends place real value on love, friendship, loyalty and being there for each other. ‘I hate injustice always have and I will always speak out against it whether you are the King of England or a sycophant like yourself. Unlike you I happen to know all sides of the story. Unlike you I have seen heard and read the most vile things a son can say to a mother. ‘Now unless you can solemnly swear that you have also seen heard and read all those same things I suggest you crawl back into that little dark hole you poked out of. Now having said that I totally respect your right to express your opinion, even though its totally nonsensical, because I am a huge believer in free speech. ‘I’m not a fan though of people who go off half cocked and who don’t possess all the facts. I hope you don’t think that Holly or Adam will be impressed at you insulting his mother or slating me because they won’t flower. So please do us all a favour and mosey on.’ In another post on threads Louise hinted that Adam and Holly were ‘bullies’ as she shared a cryptic post that read: ‘A group of bullies consists of fewer bullies and more sycophants, and the former can’t function without the latter.’ Swimming champion Adam is said to have had his head turned by fiancée Holly’s fame and money – and now feels ashamed of his own working-class family. The pair have banned his mother Caroline from attending their forthcoming wedding – and now family sources blame the explosive feud on him becoming starry-eyed. A source close to Caroline, 59, has given her side of the story for the first time – and told how she feels so hurt she thinks her son sees her as ‘not good enough’ to match up with the Ramsays socially. They told the Daily Mail: ‘Adam has changed so much ever since he has been with Holly. She’s from a celebrity world and his parents are not, and his ego and self-importance has just got bigger. He’s not the lovely boy next door that we all remember him as. ‘Adam has changed and he is almost a bully. He has been so horrible to his mum and he is now trying to exclude her from his life. She is worried sick about all this and can’t believe it is happening. ‘We think Holly has triggered all this, and her parents – the power of the rich and famous.’ The future Olympian was always very close to his mother who would get up at 4am to drive him to swimming events all around the UK as he established himself in the sport in which he would eventually win three gold medals. But when he started dating and then became engaged to media star Holly – and met her celebrity chef father Gordon Ramsay and their showbiz circle including the Beckhams – he is said to have changed. The source added: ‘Caroline is not good enough for his new family. She doesn’t fit into the celebrity mold and she doesn’t look like them and dress like them.’ The Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Monday how Caroline, who suffers from fibromyalgia, was devastated after she was left off the guest list for Holly’s glamorous hen party at the celebrity hotspot Soho Farmhouse last weekend. She was left at home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, looking after Adam’s son George, five, while Holly posted Instagram pictures of her pre-nuptial celebration attended by her mother Tania, her two sisters and Victoria Beckham. Caroline’s anguish was first revealed in a social media post by her sister Louise Williams who hit out at influencer Holly, accusing her of being ‘divisive and hurtful’ over the snub to her future mother-in-law who had ‘opened her home and heart to you’. Louise said on Instagram that Caroline’s lack of an invite to the hen weekend, made worse by Holly’s father Gordon being asked by Adam to attend his stag party, had inflicted ‘a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever’. The source revealed that the swimmer had left his mother ‘heartbroken’ after her sister’s post by contacting her to ban her from the wedding and to tell her she would not see his son George or any future grandchildren again. As the row deepened, Adam is even said to have threatened to disown his family. Caroline herself went public with her distress in an Instagram post which stated: ‘Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how broken your heart is.’ Adam met digital creator Holly in October 2021 when he was on Strictly Come Dancing – where other contestants included her sister Tilly, 24, who is best known for presenting the CBBC cookery show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch. He split from his partner of three years Eirianedd Munro, the mother of his son George, nearly a year later in August 2022, revealing the break-up in an Instagram post which stated that he was ‘sorry’ for ‘letting down’ her and his son. The couple had started dating in 2019 after meeting at the University of Loughborough, with Eirianedd becoming pregnant not long into their relationship. Adam had raised eyebrows over his on-screen chemistry with pro partner Katya Jones on the dance programme, particularly when they performed a sexy routine to Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac on week four. Adam and Holly reportedly began dating in May 2023 and quickly confirmed their relationship the following month when they took a loved-up trip to Rome together, and eagerly documented moments from the long weekend for their followers on Instagram. It was revealed at the time that Adam had also spent time at her family’s £5m holiday mansion in Rock, Cornwall. They got together shortly after Adam took a competitive break from swimming, after battling depression and alcoholism and declaring that he ‘never wanted to see a pool again’ having been left ‘broken’ by his competitive sport. But he started training again, crediting the move on his blossoming relationship with Holly, quality time with his son, his Christian faith and encouragement from his coach who told him to get back in the water ‘just to paddle’. While he went on to find ‘peace in the water’ once more by April last year, when he won the British men’s breaststroke title with his quickest time since 2021, his relationship with his own family appeared to be going far from swimmingly. The source close to his family, described the gradual breakdown of things with his mother, saying: ‘It’s partly because Adam doesn’t feel his family is good enough for the new one he is now part of. ‘She is a size 20 and some may judge her for being fat and ugly, and looking nothing like the beautiful, super slim guests who will be attending the wedding.’ The source said: ‘Caroline has an illness, fibromyalgia, and is in a lot of pain at times, and it has caused her to put on weight. ‘Adam told her that her condition is made up and that if she went back to work, exercised and dieted, she would feel a lot better. He has been so mean to her. He called her a s**t mother. He’s a p***k! She devoted her life to help him pursue his dream.’ The source said that Adam’s parents ‘sacrificed so much’ for him, even putting themselves into debt as he trained for Olympic glory. They added: ‘Caroline is devastated by the rift and doesn’t know what she has done wrong. ‘Adam’s relationship with his mum and dad Mark are at an all time low, and now she’s not coming to the wedding. ‘She had been so excited and really wanted to be involved, and had offered to make lovely table setting name plates, as she is a skillful craftswoman, but she was told her help wasn’t needed. ‘As time has gone on, things have become strained and there have been rows, the tension has been very fraught. Caroline is in pieces and is absolutely heartbroken that it’s gotten to this point. ‘Caroline and Mark put Adam’s career above everything and supported him through thick and thin so for their relationship to have crumbled is so upsetting. ‘They feel that Adam started to grow distant from his family after he met Holly and they started to become more serious. There is a feeling that money is an issue. ‘His family are working class and proud – it’s a stark contrast to the Ramsay family and some members of the family have said it feels like Adam is ashamed of them.’ Adam and Holly’s wedding is due to be held at Bath Abbey at Christmas with guests set to include the newly knighted Sir David Beckham and his fashion designer wife who have been friends with the Ramsays for many years. The family source said it was believed that the only member of Adam’s family now due to attend the wedding was his sister Bethany, with nobody else being able to afford the hotel costs. Bethany was the only member of his family at Holly’s hen celebration at Soho Farmhouse, set in 100 acres of the Oxfordshire countryside. Holly and Adam have documented their romance with a string of Instagram posts, detailing their celebrity lifestyle, including luxury holidays and attendance at events including Wimbledon, along with his swimming achievements. The Daily Mail revealed yesterday how his mother’s Instagram post about her heart being ‘broken’ had attracted messages of support and concern from friends including one who commented: ‘Don’t let them drag you down Caroline. Neither Adam or the Ramsays are worth it.’ The same person added in a further comment: ‘You know, considering they are both supposed to be mental health advocates, they don’t seem to be showing much regard for yours.’ The remark was a reference to the well-publicised mental health struggles of Adam as well as Holly who has talked in the past of her own battle with PTSD, anxiety and depression after being sexually assaulted twice when she was aged 18. She explained on her podcast 21 & Over in 2021 how she had been in therapy up to three times a week, had a three-month stint in a mental health hospital and had given up alcohol. Caroline followed up her original Instagram comment with another post late last night, saying: ‘When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.’ She added a comment to her post, saying: ‘The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most’ followed by a tearful emoji. Comments made in response to her latest post included one from a supporter saying: ‘Sacrifices you made for his success will never be forgotten or unnoticed. I’m also a fellow swim mama. Much love and respect to you.’ Another person added: ‘Sending you hugs. I read why happened and have been estranged by my daughter and her husband for seven months it’s heartbreaking and cruel. Seems to be a trend nowadays.’ Adam’s mother was always known as one of his staunchest supporters during his swimming career, and famously got up at 4am when he was a boy to drive him for 40 minutes to training sessions with the City of Derby swimming club. In a punishing routine which went on for more than three years, she would then hang around for up to two hours before driving him home and going to her own job as a nursery manager while her husband and Adam’s father Mark worked as a caretaker at a Lidl store. Adam won his first Olympic gold in the 100m breaststroke in 2016, and repeated the feat at the 2020 games which were held in Tokyo in 2021 due to Covid. He also got a gold in the mixed relay in Tokyo. He made a roaring return at the Olympics in Paris last year, earning a silver medal and falling just short of gold by an agonising 0.02 seconds in the breaststroke. Holly posted a series of pictures on her Instagram account showing her and her friends and family arriving for her stylish pre-wedding bachelorette celebration at the Soho Farmhouse last Friday. She looked stunning in all white, telling her 400,000 followers: ‘Bachelorette weekend starts now.. I love my sisters and mama so much.’ One picture showed her wearing a long wool coat layered over a long-sleeved top and wide-leg jeans with cream trainers and a cute white bow in her hair while another featured her and Tana walking hand-in-hand. A further picture showed a beautifully arranged table featuring a personalised champagne bottle, and cups labelled ‘Bride’ and ‘Team Bride’. More pictures from later on in the weekend showed Holly in a short white dress, high heels and a bridal headdress while others showed her and guests wearing Adam Peaty face masks. One group shot of her and her guests, including Victoria Beckham, featured alongside a comment, saying: ‘My girls gave me the best weekend, my heart is so full’, accompanied by a heart emoji. Holly and Adam shared the news of their engagement in September last year in sweet Instagram posts when the swimmer praised her for sticking with him through his ‘lowest times’. He also added that she embraced the ‘incredible community’ he has found within Christianity and joined his church ‘without question’. Holly wrote: ‘Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife.’ The pair complemented each other’s posts by including bible verses after Adam revealed religion had saved him from addiction.

Celebrities Spark Dialogue on Fertility Challenges

Celebrities Spark Dialogue on Fertility Challenges

The lives of Hollywood celebrities might seem like an open book, yet there are still topics they tend to shy away from. Among these is the sensitive issue of infertility and pregnancy loss, which many stars have traditionally kept private. Even though statistics from the NHS show that one in seven couples face challenges in conceiving, the conversation around this issue has long been considered off-limits. However, in recent years, a number of celebrities have courageously begun to share their personal and often heart-wrenching experiences to offer support to others. Recently, model Kelly Brook opened up about the profound sadness she endured following a miscarriage at six months pregnant. She joins others like Lena Dunham, who has spoken about the emotional toll of having a hysterectomy at just 31, and Jennifer Aniston, who has candidly shared her two-decade struggle to become a mother. Jennifer Aniston The Friends actress revealed last month that she endured a 20-year secret battle to have a baby after undergoing unsuccessful IVF and trying everything to get pregnant. Jennifer has often found herself at the centre of pregnancy speculation over the years, and in a rare interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK she addressed the false narrative that she didn’t want to become a mother because she’s a ‘selfish workaholic’. She said: ‘They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes. ‘That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it – the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic. ‘It does affect me – I’m just a human being. We’re all human beings. That’s why I thought, “What the hell?”’ Jennifer was married to actor Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. They split after he met actress Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith. In 2022, Jennifer tragically revealed she had unsuccessfully tried IVF – and admitted she wished she had frozen her eggs years earlier. ‘It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,’ Jennifer said at the time. ‘My late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard s**t, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be. I was trying to get pregnant. ‘All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. ‘I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, “Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.” You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed. But I have zero regrets.’ Jennifer was aged 35 when she split from Brad and previously said the suggestion he left her because she wouldn’t give him a child was an ‘absolute lie’. Kelly Brook This week Kelly Brook bravely reflected on the heartbreaking moment she lost her baby when she was six months pregnant. The presenter, 45, became pregnant in 2011, while with former fiancé and Scottish rugby player Thom Evans who really wanted a child. Kelly said the ‘horrific’ loss was so scarring, it left her ‘traumatised’ and left her never wanting to try for a baby again. She explained: ‘Lo and behold I had a miscarriage at six months, which was the most traumatic, horrific thing that I’ve ever been through. It was just the most devastating thing. ‘It took me quite a long time for my body and for everything to kind of, I don’t think you ever fully recover from that, but our relationship didn’t survive that and I just had to pick myself back up and just move forward.’ Kelly, who has since married French model Jeremy Parisi, recently revealed that the couple made a conscious decision not to have children together, but admitted the reality still weighs on her mind. ‘The time has probably run out, I don’t know, I just have to get my head around it,’ she reflected. ‘If our marriage doesn’t end up successful in the long term, how would I feel seeing him go on and have children with other people? ‘We made the decision early on that we wouldn’t have children, but I can’t say I wouldn’t be heartbroken.’ Lena Dunham Lena Dunham has also opened up in the past about her painful battle with infertility, feeling betrayed by her body and accepting she will ‘never be a biological mother’. The actress and writer made the difficult decision at 31 years old to have a total hysterectomy to remove her uterus and cervix and an ovary after enduring years of endometriosis-related pain back in 2017. The star suffered ‘years of complex surgeries measuring in the double digits’ and tried alternative treatments such as ‘pelvic floor therapy, massage therapy, pain therapy, color therapy, acupuncture and yoga’. Doctors also discovered she had other medical issues that were causing her pain during the procedure. She previously told Vogue: ‘In addition to endometrial disease, an odd hump-like protrusion and a septum running down the middle, I have retrograde bleeding, a.k.a. my period running in reverse so that my stomach is full of blood.’ Lena has admitted that after her hysterectomy, she became ‘obsessed’ with becoming a mother. In her candid essay for Harper’s Magazine in 2020 Lena wrote: ‘The moment I lost my fertility I started searching for a baby.’ Three years later, the Girls creator revealed she was exploring adoption when a doctor said she ‘might have a chance of harvesting eggs’ with her remaining ovary which was still producing eggs. If her eggs were successfully harvested, she explained to readers that they would ‘be fertilized with donor sperm and carried to term by a surrogate.’ The process, however, did not work and Dunham recalled learning that none of her ‘eggs were viable on Memorial Day, in the midst of a global pandemic’. She added: ‘There is a lot you can correct in life—you can end a relationship, get sober, get serious, say sorry—but you can’t force the universe to give you a baby that your body has told you all along was an impossibility.’ Deciding not to go down the road of IVF again she told People: ‘IVF destroyed my body. ‘Because of what my body has been through, subjecting it to such excruciating pain, only to come to the end and learn those eggs were not viable after working so hard through illness and discomfort and going through anxiety and depression, it is just clearly not something I can ever repeat.’ The Golden Globe winner continued: ‘I had hopes it would, but to be honest, I’d already made my peace about becoming an adoptive mother. ‘When everyone got so excited about there being this possibility that my one ovary could produce eggs, and with IVF and surrogacy, I could maybe still have a biological child, it pulled me away from what I think I already instinctively knew,’ she reflected. In the summer Lena gave fans an update as she revealed she is hoping to expand her family with her husband Luis Felber. ‘I thought I would have the opportunity to experience my fertility and my cycle waning and it never was. Instead it was a very quick, sharp cut-off,’ she explained to The Sunday Times of her hysterectomy. ‘I will say we’re in the process of expanding our family in new ways,’ she added, but she would not expand on the comment, simply explaining: ‘I want to safely meet our children and then figure out how to talk about it.’ Dolly Parton Dolly’s husband Carl Dean died last March at the age of 82, and despite nearly six decades together the pair never had children. The legendary country singer has admitted she has no regrets that they chose not to expand their family in that way. Asked if she regretted her decision on Larry King’s show she said: ‘No, at this day and time I regret it even less. I used to think I wanted children but I don’t have children but looking at the way this world is now I am almost glad I don’t.’ However Dolly had fertility struggles away from the spotlight after revealing in her 2017 book Dolly on Dolly: Interviews and Encounters with Dolly Parton that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 35. The singer went on to have a partial hysterectomy at 36, as she reflected: ‘Suddenly I was a middle-aged woman. I went through a dark time until I made myself snap out of it. ‘We never did think of adopting,’ she added. ‘I guess I didn’t have the time. I had my career and all, I had younger brothers and sisters, so I had that responsibility and that joy and that duty.’ She told Saga Magazine in 2023: ‘I haven’t missed it like I thought I might. When you’re a young couple, you think you’re going to have kids, but it just wasn’t one of those burning things for me. ‘I had my career and my music, and I was travelling. If I’d had kids, I’d have stayed at home with them. I’m sure and worried myself to death about them.’ Elizabeth Day Journalist Elizabeth Day has been incredibly open about her longstanding fertility struggles, revealing how at 46 she has now ‘let go of the dream of conventional biological motherhood’. The star, who hosts the hugely successful podcast How To Fail, tried for a baby for 12 years with the pressures ultimately contributing to the breakdown of her first marriage. She went through two rounds of IVF, miscarriages, egg freezing and surgery on her womb – but eventually the ‘stress’ of the process became too overwhelming. ‘It’s very painful if you think something is meant for you and the universe is not giving it to you,’ she told The Times in September. ‘I think what I’ve gone through is understanding that maybe motherhood wasn’t meant for me, because other things are.’ Her desire to have a child also led her to have a surgical procedure to change her uterus, which she later described as ‘so painful’, and undergo an assisted fertility attempt through egg donation in the US with husband of four years, Justin Basini. While Elizabeth, who is stepmother to Justin’s three children, described herself as ‘much more at peace’ now that she has stopped trying to have a baby, the journalist also admitted that not having a child will cause her ‘sadness for ever’. She said: ‘Not having children will cause me sadness for ever but it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing.’ Selena Gomez While Selena Gomez is yet to have children, the singer has already opened up about how she will be unable to carry them herself due to her complicated health issues. The actress was diagnosed with lupus, a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs, in 2014. And speaking to Vanity Fair last year she revealed that she ‘can’t carry’ children due to medical reasons. ‘I haven’t ever said this,’ Selena told the publication, ‘but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. ‘I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.’ While she acknowledged her path to motherhood will be ‘different,’ the star said she is still as determined as ever to have a child of her own. ‘It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone,’ she said. ‘I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me. ‘It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different,’ she said. Selena expressed that through surrogacy or adoption, the child will be ‘mine.’ ‘At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,’ she expressed. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Hugh Jackman has also been incredibly open about his struggles to have children with his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness. The couple knew they wanted to have kids together from early on and started trying as soon as they were married as the Australian actress was already 40 years old. However unfortunately they struggled to conceive and suffered from a couple of devastating miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF. Hugh explained during an appearance on The Jess Cagle Interview: ‘Because of her age, we started [trying] straightaway when we [got] together. ‘We struggled, a couple miscarriages, [in vitro fertilization] – it was not easy. It was difficult, obviously particularly on Deb.’ Hugh explained that they ‘always wanted to adopt,’ so after IVF failed, they realised it was the right path for them. ‘I remember saying to her, “We always wanted to adopt – let’s just adopt now,”‘ he continued. The former couple felt it was important to adopt a ‘mixed-raced’ baby, with Hugh adding: ‘Our motivation behind adopting was, “Where is the need?” ‘We just knew from talking with people in that space, when we were looking around, that the biggest need is in mixed-race kids. ‘A lot of people go into [adoption thinking] it’s really important to them for the kid to look like them, and honestly, for Deb and I, that just never even was an issue. ‘I want to tell my kids, “Your personality is interesting and it in some ways very much defines you. The color of your skin, whether you’re a male, whether you’re a female, that’s not who you really are. What really defines you is beneath all that.”‘ Benjamin Zephaniah Very few, if any, high-profile male celebrities have spoken out about male infertility, however poet and novelist Benjamin Zephaniah explained that after undergoing tests he realised he has no sperm. After noticing that his friends were having children and he wasn’t he decided to seek medical advice which showed he produced no sperm at all. Speaking in an interview with The Times he admitted: ‘There was a period when I did that thing men do. They look at other men playing with kids in the park and think, “I can’t do that”. ‘But I’ve got such a good relationship with kids all over the world. People are always saying to me, “If you had your own kid, it would probably take away from your relationship with all these other kids,” so I just kind of resigned myself to that.’

Tragic Incident: Employee Fatally Attacks Co-Worker with Sledgehammer at Manufacturing Plant

In a shocking incident that has captured the attention of Minnesota, a man is now facing serious charges after allegedly murdering a colleague with a sledgehammer. The tragic event unfolded on Tuesday at Advanced Process Technologies, located in Cokato, where the life of 20-year-old Amber Czech was brutally cut short. Authorities from Wright County arrived at the scene to discover Czech suffering from severe head injuries and significant blood loss, her condition tragically linked to a sledgehammer found nearby. The grim discovery led investigators to identify 40-year-old David Bruce Delong as the primary suspect. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Delong leaving his area and making his way to Czech’s workstation, where he allegedly committed the heinous act. Adding to the chilling details, Delong reportedly confessed to another employee, saying, “I hit her with your hammer. She is by your toolbox. She is gone.” This admission paints a disturbing picture of the premeditated nature of the crime. Delong later confessed to authorities that he harbored ill feelings toward Czech and had been contemplating this violent act for a while, as reported by KARE. Facing the gravity of his actions, Delong appeared in court on Wednesday, where he is charged with second-degree murder. The case continues to unfold, leaving a community in shock and mourning the loss of a young life taken too soon. Delong allegedly told police that he did not like Czech and had plotted to kill her for some time. KARE reported that Delong made the admission after officers informed him of his rights. Delong, who appeared in court on Wednesday, is charged with second-degree murder. North Wright County Today reported that Advanced Press Technologies produces tanks and various equipment for dairy farms throughout the state. “We are heartbroken by yesterday’s tragedy, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends in this terrible moment. We are also making sure our employees have the support they need and working closely with law enforcement as they continue their investigation,” the company said in a statement issued to CBS. “Production at the facility has been paused for the remainder of the week, and administrative staff are working remotely.” [Feature Photo: Facebook; Wright County police]

New autism research unveiled at global conference in Perth says early intervention could ‘reshape the brain’

New autism research unveiled at global conference in Perth says early intervention could ‘reshape the brain’

A leading international autism expert says children who wait years for diagnosis miss a crucial opportunity to “reshape the brain” through early intervention, unveiling new evidence which suggests a childhood diagnosis is no longer necessarily lifelong. Speaking at a major global conference in Perth on Thursday, University of California professor of psychiatry David Amaral said there was growing evidence autism was “not static” and could change dramatically during a child’s lifespan. “Our research suggests about 10 per cent of children who are diagnosed with autism at age three can improve significantly by the age of 11 to where they no longer meet diagnostic criteria,” Professor Amaral said at the Asia Pacific Autism Conference at Crown Perth. “However . . . they can continue to experience other mental health difficulties that require ongoing support.” Professor Amaral said intensive early intervention could play a role in the improvement, and research was ongoing to ascertain why it was more pronounced in girls and why in some children the severity of the condition increased. Last month, The West Australian revealed thousands of WA children were waiting years for an autism diagnosis as the public waitlist for a developmental paediatrician assessment rose to almost 12,000. Professor Amaral said it was a shame to hear cases of Perth children going through their entire primary school years waiting for a diagnosis, which is required to access support at school and through the National Disability Assessment Scheme. “When you have to wait that long for a diagnosis, you’ve eliminated an opportunity. What the early intervention does is it participates, along with the family, in re-shaping the brain,” he said. “The brain is the most plastic early on; it’s not to say the intervention isn’t going to work (later in childhood) but it’s probably just not going to work as well. “This is a problem in the United States, too, and it’s even worse in middle and lower income families.” Professor Amaral said there was also now convincing evidence that autism developed prenatally, saying: “If you are autistic, you were almost certainly born with autism”. “Today, we know there are more than 200 genes that can increase the likelihood of autism when altered during pregnancy. “I think over the next 30 years we’re going to understand better which genes lead to what forms of behavioural challenges, and that will ultimately lead to more realistic approaches to intervention for those children who have specific genetic predispositions. “What we’re trying to do is not cure autism. We’re trying to improve the quality of life of autistic individuals, which is the hallmark of this meeting, and to reduce challenging co-occurring conditions like anxiety, sleep problems and gastrointestinal problems.” The three-day conference also heard from Professor Stephen Shore, who was diagnosed with autism as a child and non-verbal until the age of four, but is now a leading autism researcher at Adelphi University in New York. Professor Shore said he was given the opportunity to thrive thanks to early intervention led by his parents, who advocated for him and ignored advice from doctors that he should be placed in institutionalised care. “That’s a lesson from my parents, that in order to do meaningful work with an autistic person, you have to meet them where they are and develop a trusting relationship,” he said. “I feel now it’s my mission, to take the good fortune I’ve received and share it with others, and promote fulfilling and productive lives for autistic individuals.” Autism Association of WA chief executive Joan McKenna Kerr said the three-day conference, which will feature more than 200 presenters from 30 countries, was a valuable opportunity to promote ideas, research and leadership. “The field of autism needs leadership, on how we’re going to advocate for young children, and hear the voices of autistic people themselves,” she said. “Those early years are so critical to the future, to how the child sees themselves, how the teacher works with the child, and how the parent sees the child.”

2026 AFL fixture: Which games already have us salivating as full calendar revealed

SYDNEY V CARLTON, Opening Round Thursday March 5, SCG, 7.30pm The biggest trade of 2025 saw Carlton’s spearhead move to the Swans. Can Charlie Curnow finally be the answer to the Swans’ full forward woes and how will his former teammates greet him? We won’t have to wait long to find out in what will be a fiery opening to the 2026 AFL season. ESSENDON V HAWTHORN Round 1 Friday March 14, MCG, 4.40pm The biggest trade that didn’t happen, Zach Merrett will meet the side he was so desperate to get to, only for the trade to fall apart dramatically on the final day. There’s bad blood between Essendon leaders and Merrett, Merrett and Hawthorn and Bombers fans between both Merrett and the Hawks. Everything Merrett does that night could be booed by both sets of fans, but he’s also every chance of doing something special. BRISBANE V COLLINGWOOD Round 4 Thursday April 2, Gabba , 4.30pm It might be the best rivalry of the modern era, with the 2023 grand final opponents unable to get on a run on each other since their September classic. The Lions ended the Pies’ season in the prelim last year after a second-half blitz that left plenty of question marks over Collingwood’s list. But really, the clash could come down to the Ashcroft brothers v the Daicos brothers. GEELONG V HAWTHORN Round 4 Monday April 6, MCG, 1.15pm The traditional Easter Monday clash in what continues to be one of the great rivalries, even in the post-Kennett curse era. Patrick Dangefield wound back the clock in last year’s preliminary final to lift the Cats into the decider, while this season, former Hawk James Worpel has joined Geelong. The Cats continue to defy trends to remain consistently near the top of the ladder, while Hawthorn were unable to get much done at the trade table, leaving some to wonder if their rapid progress has stagnated. COLLINGWOOD V FREMANTLE GATHER ROUND Friday April 10, Adelaide Oval , 5.40 pm Fremantle under Friday night lights and perhaps the most picturesque ground in the AFL. The Dockers will be a primetime commodity next season and will take the centre stage of Gather Round against the biggest club in the land. Fremantle’s last three games at the venue have been decided by 10 points or less, and against a fellow finals contender, you can expect another classic. CARLTON V COLLINGWOOD Round 6 Thursday April 16, MCG, 5.30pm It’s a cliche, but it’s the biggest rivalry for a reason. A packed MCG for Thursday night for two teams that have genuine question marks over them into next year. Can Carlton thrive without Charlie Curnow and move on from a hugely disappointing season, and can Collingwood prove that they are not over the hill with their aging veterans? They’d love to answer those in this clash. BRISBANE V GEELONG Round 10 Thursday May 14, Gabba, 5.30pm It’s unusual to wait until nearly the middle of the season for a grand final rematch, but both these teams are expected to be near the top once again next year. The Cats would hate a repeat of their flop on their last Saturday of September, while Lions fans will be going all out to make sure those wounds stay open. It could be an early taste of finals action. FREMANTLE V ST KILDA Round 11 Saturday May 22, Optus Stadium, 6.30pm Ross the Boss returns to WA with a list that he hopes can finally take St Kilda out of mediocrity. Tom De Koning, Jack Silvagni, Sam Flanders and Liam Ryan all joined the Saints while they kept Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Marcus Windhager. The Dockers have struggled against their former mentor and suffered their worst defeat against the Saints last year before gaining revenge in the reverse fixture. Will St Kilda’s chips-in strategy pay off, or will the Dockers show it takes time to build a contending list? FREMANTLE V GOLD COAST Round 16 TBC, Optus Stadium, TBC It was the best final of 2025, and the Suns will return to the scene of their September heist and could have former Docker Will Brodie in tow. Fremantle would hate to go down again, but the Suns would love nothing more than to prove the win was no fluke. It will once again see two of the best midfields in the comp with Caleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw and Hayden Young against Brownlow winner Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson & Christian Petracca. Simply Box Office. WEST COAST V BRISBANE Round 19 TBC, Optus Stadium, TBC Eagles fans will welcome back their former captain, Oscar Allen, to Optus Stadium, and don’t expect them to give him a warm welcome. Regardless of the gulf in class between the two sides, you can expect plenty of fireworks with the Eagles desperate to show improvement, while Allen will hope to be leading Brisbane’s attack to a fourth straight grand final. Chris Judd torched the Eagles with 24 touches and five clearances in his first game against them in 2008, and Allen may want to make a similar statement while home fans will be ravenous.

Open Heaven 13 November 2025 – Discerning Of Spirits (1)

Open Heaven 13 November 2025 Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Discerning Of Spirits (1) Open Heaven 13 November 2025 TOPIC – Discerning Of Spirits (1) MEMORISE: “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” – 2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJV) READ: 1 John 4:1-3 (KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 6-7 Open Heaven 13 November 2025 MESSAGE Many children of God have fallen into the devil’s trap because they lacked the gift of the discerning of spirits. Usually, the messengers that the devil sends to believers appear as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). They usually seem harmless and very Iikeable, such that believers let their guards down around them and put their trust in them. By the time such believers realize that they are dealing with the devil’s agents, major damage would have been done, and they would have lost ground to the devil where their destiny is concerned. However, if such believers have the gift of the discerning of Spirits, they will get an inward witness, warning them about the devil’s agents. Some Christian ladies have married occultic men who disguised themselves as born-again Christians because they did not have the gift of the discerning of spirits. Likewise, some believers have engaged in businesses with the wrong people because they lacked the gift of the discerning of spirits. Christian employers should not only look at the qualifications of the people they intend to employ; they should also be sensitive to discern the kind of spirits they carry so they do not impact their organizations negatively. In 1980, I attended the wedding ceremony of one of my three close friends at the time. When I got to the venue, one of the other two friends welcomed me warmly and was doing everything to make me comfortable by offering me all kinds of drinks, food, and souvenirs. Suddenly, I heard God say, “He is your enemy.” I was shocked because I was really close to him and thought I knew him so well. However, I started treading carefully around him from that day on. Sometime later, I confronted him with what God told me, but he denied being an enemy. Some months later, we met again to discuss issues concerning the church after the death of my Father in the Lord. There, he showed his true colours and said, “From the day you came into this church, I hated you.” Beloved, if you don’t have the gift of the discerning of Spirits, you most likely will commit the error of making an enemy a friend and a friend an enemy. This is why you must ask God for the gift of the discerning of spirits so you can truly know the spirits controlling the people around you. I pray that every devil disguised as an angel of light around you will be exposed, in Jesus’ name. Open Heaven 13 November 2025 PRAYER POINT Father, please give me the gift of the discerning of spirits. Open Heaven 13 November 2025 HYMN 28 – Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah! 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!Pilgrim through this barren land;I am weak, but Thou art mighty,Hold me with Thy powerful hand:Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!Feed me now and evermore (2ce) 2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,Whence the healing stream doth flow:Let the fiery, cloudy pillarLead me all my journey through:Strong deliverer! strong deliverer!Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce) 3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,Bid my anxious fears subside:Bear me through the swelling torrent,Land me safe on Canaan’s side:Songs of praises! songs of praises!I will ever give to Thee (2ce) 4 Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,Long to dwell with Thee above;And to know in full communion,All the sweetness of Thy love.Come, Lord Jesus!

Popanyinning farmer Tim Haslam serves as the face of burns education in emotional DFES Lived Experience video

Popanyinning farmer and critical burns survivor Tim Haslam was brought to tears during the re-telling of his family’s harvest fire tragedy for the regional emergency services’ latest endeavour to promote fire safety. About 60 people gathered at Thomas Hogg Oval in Narrogin on Sunday from across the Great Southern and Perth to be the first to watch the three-part short video series, DFES Lived Experience Resource Pilot Project. Mr Haslam said after surviving such severe burns, he used his second chance to team up with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services a year ago to film and help advocate for fire awareness. DFES will present the series during events and training sessions. In the videos, Mr Haslam focuses on the critical errors he made during the 2023 bushfire that nearly cost him his life. He said despite being taught fire safety from a young age and attending fires in the area as a volunteer firefighter, when at the centre of an un-controlled harvest fire, he still made several near-fatal mistakes. Ms Haslam said he hoped to encourage people to truly consider what they would do when in the middle of a fire, because although he had safety knowledge, he found he was unprepared and panic-stricken when the flames sparked. “If something good can come out of something bad, then that’s good,” he said. Tragedy struck the Haslam family on December 20, 2023 when a fire started on their property, Coogabbie farm. Mr Haslam said his first thought was “I got to get out of here”, and the panicked idea was the catalyst to subsequent critical oversights. The then 65-year-old ran from his header to his nearby ute, which had a flat tire and became bogged when he tried to drive away. Mr Haslam left his ute and planned to run from the blaze, but tripped in the barley stubble and fell directly into the fire. Wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, Mr Haslam suffered severe burns on his hands, arms, face, and legs. He also lost his boot during the fall, meaning his foot was uncovered when standing in the fire. Mr Haslam was rescued by his farmhand who noticed him in a smoke clearing. He was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth by rescue helicopter, where he spent 10 days in intensive care unit — seven of them in a coma — with 38 per cent of his body severely burnt. Hospitalised for four months, Mr Haslam underwent 13 operations. He lost the ends of his fingers. His finger joints and the corners of his mouth are webbed together. He also struggles to walk, and said his abdomen was a “patchwork” of skin grafts. Mr Haslam said the most important safety measure was to “stop and think”. “I’ve been around fires all my life and I still made these mistakes,” he said. “PPE, think for a couple of seconds to assess the situation, and whatever you do, don’t get out of your gear or vehicle because I could have also been run over in the smoke. “If you get out of your vehicle I can almost positively tell you you’re going to perish. If you stay in your vehicle I can almost guarantee you you’re going to live.” Mr Haslam noted if in an unharvested paddock, a vehicle will burn, so it is critical to extinguish, wet, or harvest the area around the vehicle to make a safer circle of stubble. In the video, his wife Sally said they were lucky to have an outdoor shower because her husband was immediately put under cold water while waiting for emergency services — a move she said was pivotal to his survival. Ms Haslam said since he was not wearing protective clothes and had none on hand, DFES volunteers had to clean the burnt skin from the paddock, so it was important always to have personal protective equipment to hand. Mr Haslam also urged farmers to think of the impact a fire would have on their families, as all their lives were changed in an instant. Mr Haslam said his empty work diary meant his son had nothing to go off when suddenly bearing the brunt of the entire farm business. His wife had to move to Perth and become his primary carer throughout his recovery. “It was harder for them than for me because I was in a coma and whacked out on drugs, but my family had to actually live it,” he said. Mr Haslam said his family’s support was “extraordinary”.

Sinister plot straight from Mohanlal movie? Terror module planned serial bomb blasts using 32 cars, says report

The perpetrators of the Delhi Red Fort car blast had a more sinister plan in mind as they wanted to execute serial bomb blasts using as many as 32 vehicles, a report claimed. Quoting intelligence sources, an Amar Ujala report said that the Hyundai i20 that caused the blast near Red Fort Metro Station and another Ford EcoSport that was later found, were part of the arsenal that was being built for the serial blasts. Both the vehicles were modified for the explosives to be fitted in. ALSO READ | Delhi Red Fort blast suspects had a second car: A red Ford EcoSport They wanted to target multiple locations and were in the process of acquiring more vehicles for the blasts, Amar Ujala quoted a source as saying. As many as eight terrorists were entrusted with finding and equipping the vehicles so that a coordinated attack could take place across cities in the country, the report added. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were to be used for these simultaneous attacks. Interestingly, the shocking plot has an eerie similarity to the 2006 Malayalam action drama 'Baba Kalyani' in which the protagonist, portrayed by Mohanlal, foils a terrorist plot to target the temple town of Pazhani. They plan to bring in multiple IED-laden old cars to the vicinity of the temple in large container trucks to execute serial blasts. Fertilisers bought to make explosives The probe team had learnt that the suspects had bought 20 quintals of NPK fertilisers worth Rs 3 lakh from Gurugram and Nuh, the Amar Ujala report said. NPK fertilisers are three-component fertilisers with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content, which can reportedly be used to extract explosive materials. According to investigating agencies, Dr Muzammil Shakeel became inclined towards Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an offshoot of ISIS, after maintaining contact with associates of slain terrorists between 2021 and 2022. ALSO READ | Delhi Red Fort Metro blast: Police track down Ford EcoSport of suspect Dr Umar Un Nabi in Faridabad Authorities believe that these chemicals may have been transported to Dr Muzammil's rented rooms in Dhauj and Fatehpur Taga, from where around 3,000 kg of explosives were recovered. Some weapons and explosives were also recovered from Dr Shaheen's Swift Dzire, which was in the possession of Dr Muzammil. Investigators believe that the car explosion in Delhi was triggered in panic and desperation as police continued raids and nabbed suspects who were part of the module. ALSO READ | Faridabad terror module was in touch with Jaish, blast suspect Dr Umar un Nabi, imam met handlers in Turkey A DNA test has confirmed that the man behind the wheel was Dr Umar un Nabi, a senior doctor at Al Falah University and a suspect in the Faridabad terror module, who managed to evade arrest during the police raids.

State Opera goes Into the Woods for Jubilee program When it rains it pours, and October was a month of back-to-back 2026 program announcements from across the South Australian arts landscape. But we’d be remiss not to mention State Opera South Australia, who have also unveiled their spread for the company’s 50th-anniversary year. That includes the return of former Adelaide Festival artistic director Neil Armfield to helm a production of Gioachino Rossini’s La Cenerentola (known to her friends and stepsisters as Cinderella). Set to run at Her Majesty’s Theatre from May 7 – 16, it will feature with mezzo soprano Anna Downsley donning the glass slipper alongside Teddy Tahu Rhodes. Local Sondheim-heads will also be treated to the Tony-winning musical Into the Woods in August, with Adelaide’s own Hugh Sheridan donning the apron in the lead role of The Baker. The show will run from August 22 to 29, as State Opera turns Her Majesty’s into a South Australia’s fairytale heartland with a family-friendly production of Constantine Costi’s Hansel and Gretel running on alternate dates at the same venue. “Anniversaries are not just about the past,” State Opera artistic director Dane Lame says of the milestone year. “They are about asking what opera should mean for the next fifty years. For me, the answer is simple: opera must be without borders. From Mozart’s grand tour to Joan Sutherland on the world’s stages, opera has always crossed boundaries. And so must we.” Visit the State Opera South Australia website for the full program, including a Golden Jubilee Gala Dinner that’s still to be announced. Samstag names 2026 scholarship recipients Yuriyal Bridgeman (Papua New Guinea/Queensland), Teresa Busuttil (South Australia) and EJ Son (New South Wales) have been revealed as the Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship recipients for 2026. The long-running program supports artists to pursue studies at international arts institutions, stumping up fees for one academic year along with travel expenses and a tax-free(!) $75,000 allowance. This year’s crop was selected by Samstag director Erica Green, along with celebrated visual artist Nell and Stephen Atkinson, program director, contemporary art, at the University of South Australia. “All three artists demonstrated a strong understanding of where their practice was currently situated, the direction they hoped to take, and how their proposed program of study would assist the development of their practice,” Green says. “This will be a turning point for each of the artists – the consolidation of their practice to date and the beginning of a new chapter,” adds Nell. Bridgeman will use his scholarship to travel to Germany to access some of the largest collections of Papua New Guinea cultural material outside the region, while Busuttil will visit Portugal to engage with the Mediterranean perspectives and inheritances of her Maltese family tree. Son, who was among the finalists in this year’s Ramsay Art Prize, will complete a Master of Fine Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles. Local artists in pole position For decades South Australia’s ubiquitous concrete-and-steel Stobie poles have provided a roadside canvas for artists of every stripe, with occasionally controversial results. Last week the Helpmann Academy unveiled twelve new additions to the Stobie art canon, with a street’s worth of new works from three emerging artists – Tieyuan (Vivian) Zhou, Crista Bradshaw, and Ange De Palma. Since launching in 2022 this collaborative project between SA Power Networks and the Helpmann Academy has brought works by 15 artists to poles around the state. As part of this year’s program, the three selected artists spent time working with multi-disciplinary artist Christine Cholewa to develop their concepts. “With this project it was really important that it be community based, with the local community in mind,” de Palma says of the experience. “A lot of the work talks about connection, people, and housing. It also reflects the shapes of the blocks and the streets that are around this area. The people of Thebby love their post code so they can now take a photo of themselves next to their post code with The Wheaty in the background.” Find out more about the project here. Tarrkarri question gets short answer And in decidedly un-breaking news, at the press conference announcing the 2026 Adelaide Festival program late last month, InReview had to ask Premier Peter Malinauskas for an update on Tarrkarri, the long-mooted Aboriginal Culture Centre on North Terrace. It had, after all, been almost exactly six months since he told us “The Tarrkarri dream for us is still alive” while announcing the new state cultural policy back in March. The multimillion-dollar project, which was officially paused following concerns over a cost blowout, was once slated to open this year. Upon hearing the Premier speak this time around, it seemed even a term like ‘dream’ might be too optimistic. “The short answer is no,” the Premier said. “Tarrkarri continues to remain something the government is engaged in as an opportunity.

Adelaide’s hospitality scene has gone through various eras in the last five years. There was Covid – we were forced to stay inside, and ordering takeaway was equivalent to dining out. Next came the post-Covid boom: we started spending cash, though we were restricted in numbers and forced to our seats. Most recently, we entered the post-Covid lull. The cost-of-living crisis kicked in and people became more conservative with spending. Five years on from the pandemic, we peer into a crystal ball to see what hospitality will look like in the future, and how dining habits will change in postcode 5000. We will be happy to pay for quality When we ask what consumer habits have changed, Hains & Co co-owner Marcus Motteram says diners “drink less but they drink better quality”. “Covid was a really fascinating time – we had all these capacity restrictions, yet our turnover was fairly similar,” Hains & Co co-owner Marissa Galatis-Motteram adds. “They’d been stuck at home all this time now, desperate to get out. They had all these savings and they couldn’t spend it during Covid, and they went hard,” Marcus says. “In that time, they experimented. ‘Let’s try a more premium whiskey. Let’s have a more expensive cigar’. They’ve maintained those habits, so they’re drinking less but drinking better quality – that’s what we’re finding,” she says. Marissa says customers are “going to more tasting events and educational events”. “And they’re learning that a good tequila is made out of 100 per cent agave and you’re like, ‘right, that’s why I used to get so trashed and hungover back when I was 21 because I’m sure the tequila was not 100 per cent agave’,” she says. People are also ordering different cocktails as “customer tastes” have changed. “They’ve become far more discerning in what they drink. So back in 2015, vodka was it. Then slowly gin started,” Marissa says. “And now, instead of people calling out ‘I’ll have a gin and tonic’, they’re calling their gin brands: ‘I will have a Never Never Pink Pepper gin with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic’ instead of just a ‘gin and tonic’.” There was once a time when “everyone used to just like sweet cocktails”. Now, negronis and whiskey sours are some of Hains & Co’s best sellers. “I think people have moved away from that a little bit and they are looking for cocktails like a perfectly balanced margarita,” she says. “You can go to a place and have a proper margarita, and you can go somewhere else and you get a margarita, and you’re like ‘this is so sweet. What have they put in there?’” We will want an experience The Big Easy Group’s Vardon Avenue spot has gone through three different iterations since they took the venue on board in 2019. In 2023, they rebranded Yiasou George – a Greek restaurant – to House of George – a Mediterranean restaurant. Then in June this year, it was transformed to Tarantino’s, a New York-style Italian restaurant representative of where they think “dining is going”. They noticed the House of George “concept itself was a little bit broken”. Alex Bennett of The Big Easy Group says in the days of House of George, it delivered “really good food, a great experience, a lovely venue and the people who came loved it”. “But the concept itself was…not quite right for the times: it was all big, communal food for large groups,” he says. “We were seeing more and more that our group size was getting smaller, so a group of two couldn’t really come and have the House of George experience.” Oliver Brown of The Big Easy Group says La Louisiane, another venue in the group’s portfolio, showcases the ethos of experience-based hospitality. “We wanted to lean into that [at Tarantino’s], and La Louisiane has been a prime example of that transformative experience where you go down and you could be anywhere in the world,” Oliver says. “You have the snail shots, martinis on arrival and live music.” Oliver thinks this experience-based hospitality model is a result of viral TikTok trends and the inevitable evolution of the dining landscape. “I think people go to cafes for dates, [but] when I was younger, you’d only go to a bar,” Oliver says. “And I think people are drinking a bit less and a bit more responsibly [which] means that people are choosing to come and spend their money on a nice dinner. “We definitely see it at La Louisiane, you’ll have early 20-year-olds come and have a $250 dinner, and that’s their night. They’re not going out, whereas before, people would go out and they’d save that $250 for like, 18 Fire Truck [cocktails].” Trends will emerge from our phones Oliver says “the food element is actually getting more pronounced”, which is a result of the “TikTok effect”. “People want to be out and people are eating a little bit more and showing the food they eat a little bit more,” he says. Rylee Cooper, content creator and founder of social media pages Date Night Adelaide and The Hobby Club, sees different trends appearing on social media before landing on the plates of Adelaide diners. “Obviously, we had the rise of matcha as the trending occurrence, and we had the rise of the Mont Blanc that was there for a bit. Food and drinks within the hospitality industry seem to follow very similar trends to those seen on social media,” Rylee says. “But they come and they go really… but I can pretty much guarantee that all the stuff that occurs on social media and other countries in other places, if it’s covered enough, will eventually end up here, purely because people are talking about it and it’s trending.” Rylee believes social media encourages “product development” and is a “really good place for inspiration” and “for businesses to come together and do something [interactive]”. “The latest slew of jazz nights is probably the easiest way to see that conceptually. That was something that [emerged online] in Europe or maybe in America,” she says. “We had one here, then we had two here. Now suddenly, there’s like 10 places that do jazz nights.” Rylee says experience-based hospitality is the future. “I mean, hospitality doesn’t mean food, right? Hospitality means the vibe at the place when you enter it. So absolutely: I think as much as good food is important…the vibe and the ambience and the service have always been a core factor as to what makes people think positive or negative things about it,” she says. “I think in Adelaide, especially, we’ve seen a really good shift towards people wanting to create community and being much louder and much more intentional with it. “When there’s so many options and so many varieties to pick from, you need to do something that’s going to make you stand out.” This article first appeared in The Blueprint Edition of CityMag, released in spring of 2025.

Trump Signs Bill to End Longest US Shutdown

Trump Signs Bill to End Longest US Shutdown

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump signed a bill Wednesday to end the longest government shutdown in US history -- 43 days that paralyzed Washington and left hundreds of thousands of workers unpaid while Republicans and Democrats played a high-stakes blame game. The Republican-led House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to approve a Senate-passed package that will reopen federal departments and agencies, as many Democrats fume over what they see as a capitulation by party leaders. Trump lashed out at Democrats as he put his signature to the bill later in the Oval Office, urging Americans to remember the chaos when voting in hotly contested US midterm elections in a year's time. "Today we are sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion," said Trump, surrounded by gleeful Republican lawmakers including House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson had earlier pointed the finger at the minority party in a withering floor speech before the vote. "They knew that it would cause pain, and they did it anyway," he said. "The whole exercise was pointless. It was wrong and it was cruel." The package funds military construction, veterans' affairs, the Department of Agriculture and Congress itself through next fall, and the rest of government through the end of January. Around 670,000 furloughed civil servants will report back to work, and a similar number who were kept at their posts with no compensation -- including more than 60,000 air traffic controllers and airport security staff -- will get back pay. The deal also restores federal workers fired by Trump during the shutdown, while air travel that has been disrupted across the country will gradually return to normal. Trump falsely accused Democrats of costing the country $1.5 trillion. While the full financial toll of the shutdown has yet to be determined, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it has caused $14 billion in lost growth. - 'Not backing away' - Johnson and his Republicans had almost no room for error as their majority is down to two votes. Democratic leadership -- furious over what they see as their Senate colleagues folding -- had urged members to vote no and all but a handful held the line. Although polling showed the public mostly on Democrats' side throughout the standoff, Republicans are widely seen as having done better from its conclusion. For more than five weeks, Democrats held firm on refusing to reopen the government unless Trump agreed to extend pandemic-era tax credits that made health insurance affordable for millions of Americans. Election victories in multiple states last week gave Democrats further encouragement and a renewed sense of purpose. But a group of eight Senate moderates broke ranks to cut a deal with Republicans that offers a vote in the upper chamber on health care subsidies -- but no floor time in the House and no guarantee of action. Democrats are now deep in a painful reckoning over how their tough stance crumbled without any notable win. Democratic leadership is arguing that -- while their health care demands went largely unheard -- they were able to shine the spotlight on an issue they hope will power them to victory in the 2026 midterm elections. "Over the last several weeks, we have elevated successfully the issue of the Republican health care crisis, and we're not backing away from it," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told MSNBC. But his Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer is facing a backlash from the fractious progressive base for failing to keep his members unified, with a handful of House Democrats calling for his head. Outside Washington, some of the party's hottest prospects for the 2028 presidential nomination added their own voices to the chorus of opprobrium. California Governor Gavin Newsom called the agreement "pathetic," while his Illinois counterpart JB Pritzker said it amounted to an "empty promise." Former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg called it a "bad deal.

2 onions, roughly chopped 2 sticks of celery, roughly chopped 2 carrots, roughly chopped ½ bunch of thyme 6 peppercorns 2 bay leaves 6 cobs of corn, with dirty or old outer leaves removed, the rest intact ½ gram saffron 450g arborio rice 50ml olive oil 2 shallots, finely diced 150ml white wine 150g parmesan, finely grated 150g butter, cubed juice of 1 lemon 50g fresh truffle In a stock pot, bring the onions, celery, carrots, half the amount of thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves and water up to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Place the whole cobs of corn into the stock pot, drenched into the stock as much as possible, then place a lid on top allowing the corn to steam in the stock for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and the corn from the pot, then carefully peel the outer leaves off, placing them back into the pot. Remove the kernels from 2 of the corn cobs using a knife and set aside. Put the empty cob into the stock pot. Blowtorch the outside of the other 4 cobs, remove the lightly blackened kernels, and set aside. Put the empty cob back in the stock pot. Allow the stock to cook for a further 5 minutes, then switch off and strain. Take 1 cup of the hot stock and place into a measuring jug. Add the saffron and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Place the saffron-infused stock, and the golden kernels from the 2 cobs of corn into a food processor. Blitz to form a bright yellow paste. To cook the risotto, in a heavy based pan on a medium heat add the olive oil, shallots and arborio rice. No need to preheat the pan, we want to make sure we coat the rice in oil, gently sealing the rice and cooking the shallots without creating too much colour. Once the rice and shallots are sealed (a little colour may start to form) add the wine and stir, allowing the wine to reduce. We want to reduce it to the point the rice starts to stick to the pan. The same goes for when we add the stock. Add the hot corn stock 1 ladle at a time, stirring to distribute, then allow to reduce. Push down any rice that sticks to the side of the pot keeping the surface fairly even to allow the stock to hydrate the rice evenly. With the second ladle of stock, add the sweetcorn and saffron puree. Stir to combine, then continue adding the stock and cooking until the rice is cooked to your liking. I like my risotto to settle on the plate, rather than build in height, so make sure the risotto is still a little ‘wet’, and the rice al dente. Remove from the heat, then add the torched corn kernels and half the truffle finely grated. Stir and allow to sit with the lid on for 2 minutes. Add parmesan and butter, then stir vigorously to work the starches and emulsify, resulting in a creamy end result. Add lemon juice and season to taste. Garnish with fresh thyme and the rest of the truffle shaved or finely grated. This article first appeared in the September 2025 issue of SALIFE magazine.

34 lakh Aadhaar card holders identified as 'deceased' in West Bengal, UIDAI informs EC

p>Kolkata: About 34 lakh Aadhaar card holders in West Bengal have been found to be 'deceased' since the identity card was introduced in January 2009, UIDAI authorities informed the Election Commission..The UIDAI authorities also communicated to the EC that about 13 lakh people in the state never possessed Aadhaar cards, but have since died..The information was shared during a meeting between officials of UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) and the state's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar Agarwal, amid the ongoing enumeration exercise of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls..SIR 2.0 | Despite stirs, Bengal, Tamil Nadu lead in enumeration form distribution, Kerala drags its feet.The meeting followed an EC directive asking all state CEOs to coordinate with Aadhaar authorities to verify voter data and identify discrepancies.."The EC has received numerous complaints regarding ghost voters, deceased voters, absentee voters, and duplicate names in the rolls. The UIDAI data on deceased citizens is expected to help us in detecting and removing such entries from the electoral rolls," a senior official from the CEO's office said on Wednesday..Following the enumeration phase and publication of the draft rolls on December 9, if applicants are found to have submitted forms with names that have been removed from the Aadhaar database, they could be summoned by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) concerned for verification, he said..Poll officials said they were also gathering information from banks since Aadhaar is linked to most accounts.."Banks have provided data on accounts where KYC updates have not been completed for years, aiding the identification of deceased individuals whose names still appear on voter rolls," the official said..The SIR process is currently in progress across West Bengal to root out dead and fake voters. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are conducting door-to-door verification by distributing enumeration forms based on the 2025 electoral rolls and by subsequently mapping the data provided by applicants in those forms with the 2002 electoral rolls when the exercise was last held..According to information from the CEO's office, more than 6.98 crore (91.19 per cent) Enumeration Forms have been distributed in the state till 8 pm on Wednesday..The presence of ghost, deceased, or duplicate voters in the draft roll may lead to disciplinary action against the responsible BLOs, officials said..The Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) have been instructed to ensure accuracy and vigilance in the verification process, they said.

Jessie Hui’s artistic practice reflects her personal exploration of self-care. Her light and playful depictions invite the audience to take the time to consider their own processes and how they might take better care of themselves. Hui’s work features an animated, graphic aesthetic that suggests we shouldn’t take things too seriously. Born in Hong Kong, Hui is now based in Kaurna Land, Adelaide. Over recent years, self-care has become a central focus of her work, and her exhibition, thoughts are just clouds, important clouds, continues this exploration. Hui explains, “It’s from a perspective of reflecting on myself, my thoughts and feelings in everyday life and what I’ve been through. I hope that resonates with other people as well.” This exhibition addresses indecision in life choices and views these feelings from a third-person perspective. Hui captures moments of hesitation and overthinking, asking herself: “Why am I thinking like this? Why am I feeling like this? Why am I struggling? Is that good?” The themes explored are universal and by making light of her own experiences, she hopes the audience can approach these negative moments with a more positive outlook. Hui describes her pieces as “an everyday scene of me” through which she grapples with choosing between different options. For example, the painting titled Studio illustrates Hui feeling stuck about what to paint next and explores the feelings and emotions involved in making a decision. “I have so many ideas in my head, I can do this, I can do that, but I’m not sure which one to choose, which one to go with,” she explains. For Hui, this process is neither negative nor positive; rather, it exists in the space in between, where decisions are pending before she commits to one option or another. She ponders, “Should I choose wisely, or should I just have fun and move on? It’s like with many things in life – how can I make the right decision? What’s best for me?” In her work, Magician’s Table, Hui portrays herself reading a book titled ‘Ultimate Cooking’ while grappling with the dilemma of what to cook. Surrounded by various options, she reflects, “I wish there was a cookbook telling me exactly what to do, outlining the magic of cooking and providing some guidelines.” The composition includes rotting vegetables, symbolising the passing of time and indicating that she needs to make a decision – any decision. In addition to the paintings, Hui presents limited edition prints titled, To Do List and Workaholic. These prints focus on the idea that there is so much to do, but they offer different perspectives. On one hand, there is so much to do she doesn’t want to wake up, yet at the same time, there is so much to do she can’t go to sleep. For Hui, painting is a way to help resolve these life dilemmas and find the balance she believes is necessary for self-care. “The paintings aren’t on the negative side but instead they are two positive sides in between. I think self-care is like that – it’s not always good, not always bad. There’s not one way to deal with it.” Thoughts are just clouds, important clouds, reflects the many decisions we must make on a regular basis and the feelings and emotions associated with them. Hui suggests there are no right or wrong choices; sometimes, we simply need to make a decision and get on with life. Jessie Hui: thoughts are just clouds, important clouds continues until November 29 at Praxis ARTSPACE, with an artist talk on Saturday November 22 at 11.30am

The Liberal Party has opted to ditch its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, but will stick with a key climate change treaty. Liberal sources confirmed the party’s climate policy following a shadow cabinet meeting on Thursday and weeks of division over the issue which has threatened Sussan Ley’s leadership. The party will remain within the international Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, which requires members to increase their emissions targets every five years, the sources confirmed. The decision follows a five-hour meeting between all 51 Liberal MPs and senators, where a majority spoke in favour of ditching Australia’s net-zero goal according to people in the room. Climate Change Authority chair and former NSW Liberal treasurer Matt Kean told ABC radio ditching net zero or delaying climate action was another form of denial selling. Championed by the conservative faction, the party’s climate shift hits Liberal moderates who see their chances of winning back vital inner-city electorates diminished as a result. Moderate frontbenchers including NSW senators Andrew Bragg and Maria Kovacic have flagged their difficulty in remaining in shadow cabinet if the party endorses backing away from its existing net-zero pledge. Once the party announces its policy, it still needs to negotiate a shared position with junior coalition partner the Nationals. A joint partyroom meeting has been scheduled for Sunday, when the political partners are expected to seal a final deal on the issue. Energy spokesman Dan Tehan unveiled a list of 10 principles informing Thursday’s decision, including the two “foundational principles” of keeping the nation’s power supply stable and affordable while also taking action to reduce emissions. The list also includes a promise to extend the life of ageing coal power plants for as long as possible, lift the ban on nuclear power and scrap a series of Labor policies Liberals say amount to “sneaky carbon taxes”. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the opposition dropping net-zero would take Australia backwards. “They’re walking away from climate action because they fundamentally do not believe in the science of climate change,” he told reporters in Sydney. “Australians cannot afford to keep paying the price of coalition infighting when it comes to climate policy and energy policy.”

South Australian mining company Havilah and multibillion-dollar copper player Sandfire have struck an agreement this morning to take advantage of a major copper-gold deposit in the state’s northeast. Announced today, the pair would advance the Kalkaroo Copper-Gold Project and establish an exploration partnership across the “highly prospective” Curnamona Province, 450 km northeast of Adelaide. Shares in Havilah surged 27.7 per cent on the back of the announcement. The site was situated east of copper giant BHP’s copper province in the state’s far north which was comprised of three mines, including the immense Olympic Dam underground mine. In a joint announcement to shareholders, the companies said the agreement would create “a rapid pathway to unlock one of Australia’s largest undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits by bringing together Australia’s largest listed, independent copper producer and a local partner and proven explorer”. Sandfire would commit $30 million to exploration activities over the next two years under the agreement, and would acquire an 80 per cent interest in Kalkaroo from Havilah for up to $210 million, comprised of cash and Sandfire shares. The larger of the two partners, Sandfire, said it could expand the existing ore reserve and would undertake a pre-feasibility study to test the extent of the ore body. Association of Mining and Exploration Companies CEO Warren Pearce said the “discovery of the Kalkaroo deposit, combined with copper prices at record highs, makes this agreement with Sandfire both timely and strategically significant”. Havilah is an AMEC member. “South Australia has long been recognised as a leading copper province, and this deal will help unlock further opportunities, delivering benefits for the state and its communities,” he said. “The partnership between Havilah and Sandfire to advance the Kalkaroo copper‑gold project marks a major step forward for the Curnamona province and for South Australia’s resources sector. “Junior explorers play a critical role in identifying new opportunities, and this collaboration between Havilah and the established copper producer Sandfire highlights the strength and value of South Australia’s mining industry.” Sandfire CEO and managing director Brendan Harris said the company was “thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Havilah team to de-risk the Kalkaroo copper-gold project”. He said it was “in a preferred jurisdiction with ready access to key road, rail and energy infrastructure and ground water supply, and skilled labour from Adelaide, Broken Hill and the broader regional community”. “We also look forward to working with the South Australian government and other local stakeholders to advance this important project by leveraging our core capabilities and investing in the region,” said Harris. “The decision to move into the Curnamona Province in South Australia is fully aligned with our strategy and has the potential to replicate our successful entry into the Kalahari Copper Belt.” Havilah technical director Dr Chris Giles said the company was “very pleased” to reach the agreement with Sandfire. “Immediate value for Havilah shareholders will be realised via an upfront payment, which also gives Havilah a direct stake in Sandfire’s successful global mining operations via the share component,” Giles said. “Exposure to longer-term value is also achieved via Havilah’s retained 20 per cent interest in Kalkaroo. “The funding under the exploration strategic alliance will allow us to accelerate regional exploration in South Australia with the objective of transforming the highly prospective Curnamona Province into Australia’s next major copper province, centred on the Kalkaroo project development.” The deal required regulatory and shareholder approvals. Kalkaroo’s neighbour BHP recently announced it would spend $840 million on expanding its Olympic Dam copper mine in order to boost its copper base from 1.7 million tonnes to 2.5 million tonnes each year. While Olympic Dam already extended hundreds of metres underground, the company was yet to find the bottom of the deposit. BHP’s stable of Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill mines combined was the third-largest copper resource in the world. Silver, uranium and gold were also mined across the resources. The company had already announced a smelter refinery project to expand refinery capacity and increase copper production to approximately 500 ktpa, and potentially up to 650 ktpa. This would involve the development of a two-stage smelting process, and expand refining facilities to produce cathode copper, gold and silver. At the time of BHP’s expansion announcement in October, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas said the expansion of Olympic Dam was key to a net-zero emissions future. “Copper is the key to electrification of transport fleets, for building renewable energy infrastructure, and for energy generation, distribution and storage,” he said. “South Australia is at the epicentre of copper. BHP realises that, which is why it is investing billions of dollars in South Australia, to unlock the next massive copper opportunity – and it starts with massively growing Olympic Dam.”
