NSW MP decries anti-Chinese violence in Sydney
Speaking in NSW parliament after a violent attack on a Chinese couple in Sydney, Chinese Australian MP Jason Yat-Sen Li says 'racism doesn't need to be proven in court to be real in people's lives'. Li argued for tackling the root causes of youth crime: 'poverty, disengagement and trauma to young people and their families'. Li said he and the member for Hefron, where the incident took place, had met with the attorney general, the minister for police, police command and as well as representatives from youth justice, housing, education and multicultural groups

BREAKING NEWS Mum of missing teen Pheobe Bishop admits the 'worst could have happened' in heartbreaking video
The grief-stricken mother of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has admitted the 'worst case-scenario could have happened' to her daughter as she begged the public to share any information about her disappearance with police. Kylie Johnson's voice wavered as she fronted cameras for a video appeal shared by Queensland Police on Saturday, over two weeks after Pheobe was last seen leaving a home in Gin Gin, Bundaberg, on the morning of May 15. 'This investigation will not be over for me until we find Pheobe,' she said. 'I still hold hope that Pheobe will come home but I have to consider the possibility that she also won't. 'If the worst-case scenario has happened, I at least need to know where she's resting. I need to know where Pheobe is. 'My daughter wouldn't just disappear. Someone knows something. 'As a mum, I'm asking you to come forward with your information. 'Please speak to police if you have any information, big or small. You can report information to police anonymously, via PoliceLink or CrimeStoppers.

Arsenal success can spur Australia to continental title, says Catley
May 31 (Reuters) - Defender Steph Catley says her UEFA Women's Champions League title win with Arsenal last week will act as motivation to secure continental glory with Australia when the country hosts the Women's Asian Cup next year. Catley and compatriots Caitlin Foord and Kyra Cooney-Cross were part of the Arsenal squad that defeated Barcelona in Lisbon last Sunday, before flying to Melbourne to feature in the Matildas' 2-0 win over Argentina on Friday. The game was the first in a two-match series against the South Americans as the Australians continue preparations for the continent championship in March 2026, when they will attempt to win the Asian title for the first time in 16 years. "I think it just gives you a little taste of what's possible," Catley said of the Champions League success. "But to actually do it, it makes me think about my career and the things I really want to achieve, and winning silverware with the Matildas has always been top of my list. "So, definitely, it makes me hungry. I've got a taste of trophies and (winning the Asian Cup) would mean a lot to me if we were able to do that. "It's coming up now, it's very close so it's good for the three of us to have the taste of that and be able to lead that hunt for success for our team." The Australians last won the Women's Asian Cup in 2010 with a victory over North Korea and have since finished as runners-up in 2014 and 2018 before exiting the 2022 edition in the quarter-finals. And while the Matildas reached the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup on home soil in 2023, they were eliminated in the group phase of the Olympic Games last year, prompting coach Tony Gustavsson's departure. The Swede has not been replaced on a permanent basis, with Tom Sermanni filling the role in an interim capacity, but Catley is confident the team is moving in the right direction as the Australians continue to unearth new playing talent. "Maybe it hasn't been the most successful few years but we still believe we can achieve something special," said Catley. "You see a player like Charli (Grant) come in tonight and she looks like she's been in the team for a few years, and we're still finding gems like that. "I think coming into a major tournament, that's the most important thing that you can try to do, is have a bit of depth there and some competition."
