Solidarity among Queenslanders has been on full display in Queensland’s record-breaking flood, with residents mobilising in choppers, tinnies and jet skis to rescue neighbours and strangers, and townsfolk sheltering at the pub. 

It’s been revealed one of Melbourne’s worst teen offenders stole vehicles valued at $1m in a four-week crime spree during which he was caught and released on bail three times. 

A fifth man has been charged over the murder of bikie boss Alen Moradian, who was shot in broad daylight in Sydney earlier this year, as CCTV emerges of two men fleeing the scene carrying a firearm. 

And Adelaide’s fickle and hectic weather will continue into the Christmas holidays bringing in both sunny and rainy days.
