07.01.2022 Sunken vessel retrieved as investigation into Broome boat tragedy continues A boat which sank off Broome, resulting in the drowning death of a Perth man, has been retrieved from the water. The No Rush was moored off Gantheaume Point when it began taking on water just after midnight on Monday.... After attempting to pump the water out, the four passengers, all men in their 70s, made the decision to abandon ship. Three men swam to a nearby whale watching boat and were rescued, but the fourth attempted to swim to shore and did not make it. His body was eventually located by Broome Marine Rescue volunteers and retrieved from the water by police on Monday morning.

03.01.2022 Only Two Countries Have Come Out of COVID Better It's official: Victoria hasn't found a new coronavirus case in four weeks. While it's difficult to know for certain, it's widely believed a 28 day period without any cases found is good evidence the virus has been effectively eliminated in Victoria.... It's a remarkable turnaround, and a result some critics said couldn't be achieved. The nation has now managed a streak of 40 days with a seven day average below 20, and most recent cases are overseas arrivals in hotel quarantine. That streak comes after a peak of more than 500 in early August. Only two countries Singapore and China have reached a peak of that magnitude and then improved to keep the average below 20 for longer than Australia. The biggest threat to Australia maintaining its grip on low or non-existent case numbers is now the hotel quarantine system. With many Australians trying to come home in time for Christmas, and a worsening global situation, the number of cases being found in returned travellers has been slowly increasing since the end of August.
