Searchers have found a missing Queensland coalmine worker dead a day after he became trapped in a roof collapse. The man was inside the Curragh mine in central Queensland when the collapse happened about 3pm on Friday. There were fears he was as deep as 1km underground. One worker was safely recovered yesterday, while specialist teams worked through the night to stabilise the site and access the second individual.

The court heard that health director-general Dr David Rosengren had consulted with executives of the state's hospitals and health services at 10am on 28 January, the same time that Nicholls held a press conference announcing the ban and a subsequent review. In a statement to parliament on Tuesday, just hours after the verdict, Nicholls issued a "written ministerial direction" to reinstate the ban until the review had been completed, saying the court ruling had focused on the improper process behind the ban's enactment, not whether it was appropriate. 'I am satisfied it is appropriate and in the public interest that I issue a written ministerial direction,' he said, according to The Guardian. The new directive's provisions are believed to match those announced in January.

A crocodile discovered lying in a luxury Queensland resort's pool has been removed by wildlife rangers, with the state's environment regulator issuing new warnings about the reptiles. Two TikTok users posted footage of what appears to be a juvenile crocodile in the lagoon-style pool at the Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas, in far north Queensland, on Saturday afternoon. I don't want to alarm anyone, but there is a crocodile in the Sheraton pool, Lisa Keller says in her TikTok video.

The attack took place in a holding enclosure, an area designated for trained staff only, just after cleaning of the main enclosure was completed.

There's some confusion about how to proceed because nothing really happened to rule on Kelly never lost the ball or left the field or was held up. In the end, they play it as if it was held up, the Blues put up a kick and the Maroons field it, but make an error early in the set to give the Blues another chance.

Reflecting on this photo, I feel emotional, as my husband now battles stage 4 metastatic melanoma, and it feels as if he's trapped behind the glass.
