Destroyed bridges and stolen ballot boxes mar PNG by-election
Extra police and soldiers were deployed for the voting in the Porgera Paiela district in Enga province and all vehicles ordered off the roads to try and prevent election-related violence.
The area was already under a state of emergency because of ongoing outbreaks of tribal fighting.
Enga's police commander Fred Yakasa says polling in and around Porgera township was peaceful but two bridges were destroyed by a candidate's supporters in Mulitaka the site of last year's deadly landslide.

'Still on a call with someone': Details emerge in mysterious death of Australian tourist found 'with a mobile phone resting on his chest' in Thai hotel room
A 23-year-old Australian tourist has been found dead inside a hotel room in Thailand, just one day before he was due to return home. The man, who held Australian citizenship and was born in India, was discovered by housekeeping staff at a hotel in the Thepkrasattri district of Phuket on Wednesday morning. The shocking discovery prompted hotel staff to immediately alert Thai police. 'I saw him lying there with a mobile phone resting on his chest. He was still on a call with someone. The line hadn't been disconnected, and he had died like that. There were no signs of struggle or anything suspicious,' said Police Lieutenant Colonel Thanom Thongpaen from Thalang district station. 'It appeared he had been on the call for about 12 hours. The phone screen had gone dark, but we could still see the call duration and confirm he was on a call. 'We don't know who he was talking to. I tried speaking into the phone, but there was no response. The line remained active, but there was no voice on the other end. The phone was locked, so we couldn't examine it further.' The man was found wearing a black T-shirt and lying motionless on the bed. Bandages were visible on his elbow and wrist, believed to be from a motorcycle accident he had suffered the day prior. Police said there were no signs of forced entry, assault or theft in the room. There were no illegal drugs or alcohol present, only blister packs containing around 10 over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatory tablets, which hotel staff had purchased for him at his request following the crash. 'He likely took the medication before he passed away,' Thongpaen added. 'There is no clear cause of death at this stage, but there are no signs of foul play in this case.' Security footage showed the man had been travelling alone, although friends, also Australians, had reportedly crossed paths with him in Phuket during their separate trips. One friend had dropped him off at the hotel the night before. Hotel staff were able to contact that friend using details provided at check-in. 'One of the hotel staff had a phone number for his friend, who had helped him check in, so the hotel contacted that friend to inform them of his death,' said Thongpaen. The man's family has reportedly requested that no autopsy be conducted and expressed a wish to repatriate his body to Australia as soon as possible. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it is assisting the family. 'The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Thailand,' a spokesperson said. Thai police say the investigation remains open pending further medical examination, although at this stage, there is no indication of suspicious circumstances.

Queensland government announces CFMEU commission of inquiry will investigate entire building industry
An independent inquiry into allegations of a culture of violence within Queensland's construction union will be expanded to investigate crime and corruption across the industry. A bombshell report from barrister Geoffrey Watson SC released earlier this month laid bare a litany of disturbing alleged incidents involving the CFMEU's Queensland branch. Some of the examples alleged union officials told people, "we know where you live" and "there is a bullet with your name on it", while another person was allegedly threatened at a funeral. Shortly after the report was released, the state government announced a commission of inquiry would probe the allegations, with the Watson report noting he feared he had only scratched the surface of violent behaviour. Administrator Mark Irving KC — in charge of the CFMEU since it was placed into administration last year — wrote to Premier David Crisafulli to discuss how to best work with the inquiry. A CFMEU spokesperson said more could be done at an industry level. "The administration believes it is time for employers and state and federal governments to focus on crime and corruption across the industry, rather than a narrow focus on the CFMEU," they said. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie said, following comments and allegations made by Nine newspapers, further action was needed. "The government will expand the terms of reference in the royal commission to investigate the revelations today of criminal gangs infiltrating the building industry in Queensland and the CFMEU," he said. "It's important that this royal commission has all the powers necessary and all the terms of reference as broad, as sufficiently broad as possible, to investigate not only the industrial disputation that we've seen over the last 10 years on construction sites, but also the underworld underbelly, criminal activity, criminal gang links." Mr Bleijie said the terms of reference and a commissioner would be locked in next week, with the inquiry to start in August and run for around a year. It will have the power to call people, including alleged underworld figures, union officials, interstate persons of interest, and developers. Mr Bleijie said he'd written to the federal industrial relations minister for a meeting over concerns that existing enterprise agreements may have involved alleged coercion. "We want workers to be well paid. We want them to go to work safe. But we also want a free and fair negotiation and bargaining with the unions and the construction industry," he said. "I might add, most unions do this freely and fairly all the time. "The CFMEU doesn't, and they put a gun to their head." Opposition Leader Steven Miles, who noted Labor was supportive of the inquiry, said it should not be used to erode workers' rights. "I'd be concerned if Jarrod Bleijie sees this as a mechanism to water down safety and wages on our state's construction sites," he said. "Our construction workforce works very hard. We need more of them, not less, and that would be the result if Jarrod Bleijie got his way of reducing their wages and conditions."

Man stabbed and shot by masked offenders during 'graphic' Gladstone Park home invasion
Police are the seeking public help to identify five individuals behind a "violent and graphic" targeted attack at a home in Melbourne's north-west. The incident occurred early Thursday morning at Trentham Drive in Gladstone Park, where a couple's home was broken into while they slept. Police said five people disguised in hoods and face coverings first attempted to enter through the front door before making it in through a rear entrance. Detective Inspector Adam Tilley said the disturbance awoke the occupants, a 60-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman. The man then approached the offenders, who were in possession of knives, a hammer and a firearm. "An assault has then occurred, quite a graphic assault," Detective Inspector Tilley said. "The 60-year-old male has been struck about the body numerous times with a hammer and also then stabbed about the body. "He has also sustained a gunshot wound to the arm." The man was attacked over five to 10 minutes, police said, and sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital for treatment. Police said the 57-year-old woman, who remained in the bedroom, was also approached and threatened with a firearm but was not injured. Police believe the incident was targeted, saying the group made demands for money and asked about the location of another male who is known to authorities. Detective Inspector Tilley said police were looking into that man's whereabouts and had dispatched a "safety message" to his family. "This is a violent and graphic incident that's occurred here for two occupants at their home," he said. "To be woken by five offenders, let alone [for them] to be armed with a firearm, knives and also a hammer, is extremely concerning to us, and that's why we're really seeking the public's support. "It's a concern that the offenders are still out in the community." An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
