Police investigating alleged assault on young boy in Cairns childcare centre
Queensland police are investigating after a child was allegedly injured at a Cairns childcare centre last week. Police said initial information suggested a child "sustained minor injuries" at the Mayfield Early Education centre on Fretwell Road in the Cairns suburb of White Rock last Thursday. It is alleged the boy was struck with a mop. A Mayfield Early Education spokesperson said a worker at the centre was stood down after the alleged incident on Thursday and the employee was fired on Friday. "We ran our investigation and interviewed the educator on Friday which resulted in termination of their employment," they said in a statement. The spokesperson said it was working with the Queensland Police Service and other authorities. "On Monday morning we reached out to the family involved to offer support through this situation," they said. "Given the need to protect the privacy of those involved we will not be making any further public comment on the matter." The child's family has declined to comment. A spokesman for the Queensland Department of Education said the Early Childhood Regulatory Authority was undertaking an investigation and had referred the allegation to Queensland police. "The safety and protection of all children in Queensland early childhood education and care services is our number one priority," the spokesman said. "Where steps are inadequate to ensure the health and safety of children, the Queensland Early Childhood Regulatory Authority does not hesitate to take robust and appropriate action, including prohibition and prosecution."

Fourth Townsville police shooting since January prompts call for inquiry
Police have shot four people in Townsville in the past year, but the state's police union is resisting calls for a review into the way shootings are investigated. A 29-year-old man remains in a critical condition after being shot by officers in a shopping centre loading dock in the western Townsville suburb of Thuringowa Central on Sunday. Police said officers from the Special Emergency Response Team were called in as the man was wanted for alleged "serious criminal offences". However, Queensland Police did not share what those alleged offences were or the circumstances leading up to Sunday's shooting, as a police ethical standards investigation was underway. It comes after an officer shot and killed an armed man in the Townsville suburb of North Ward two weeks ago. Police also shot a 17-year-old girl in the abdomen after she allegedly threatened them with a knife in June, and a first-year police officer shot a man "experiencing a mental health episode" three times in January. The Queensland Council for Civil Liberties has repeated calls for a systematic review into police shootings. President Michael Cope said it was "simply not good enough" for the shootings to be referred to the Ethical Standards Command, which only reviewed individual incidents. "We accept that there unfortunately are circumstances in which police have to use their guns," he said. Mr Cope said a royal commission or the Crime and Corruption Commission could conduct such a review. "This may not be anything to do with police conduct, we just simply don't know what the causes are," he said. "It seems to me that any member of the public would want to know why police shootings in Queensland the last few years seem to have been extraordinarily high in comparison with the rest of the country." Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior said every police-involved shooting should be examined individually. "This just demonstrates that police are operating in a work environment that has never been as dangerous as it is right now," he said. "You need to look at each individual incident on its own merits. The fatal shooting in Townsville last week will be referred to the Queensland Coroner. In recent years, multiple people experiencing a mental health episode have been fatally shot by Townsville police, including the case of Steven Angus, who was shot dead hours after hospital discharge. A spokesperson for the Coroners Court of Queensland told the ABC last week it was in discussions with the Queensland Mental Health Commission and the Queensland Police Service about ways to examine systemic issues associated with police-related deaths. Queensland Police would not comment on whether the man shot in Townsville on Sunday was armed. But Mr Prior said the man shot did threaten officers. "I understand that he was hiding underneath a stairwell," he said. "It will be alleged that he made certain threats towards police when he was confronted." Mr Prior added that the male officer who fired the shot had five years' experience in the Special Emergency Response Team. Queensland Police media also declined to comment on the circumstances of the shooting. The Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission will have oversight of the Ethical Standards Command investigation.

Ex-MKR contestant Anthony Mu on trial over alleged assaults
A former My Kitchen Rules contestant is facing court, accused of assaulting children known to him over several years. Anthony Mu, the husband of fellow contestant Clauden Uamaki-Mu, has pleaded not guilty at Richlands Magistrates Court, Queensland, to seven charges, including assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault. The alleged victims, now adults, were known to the couple during the time of the alleged incidents, police said. The pair competed on the 2023 season of the Channel 7 reality cooking show. They were known for their Italian-inspired cuisine and ran a food market stall selling traditional dishes. One alleged victim told the court on Monday she was punched, slapped and tackled through a wall by Anthony during one incident. The trial is continuing in the Magistrates Court, with more details expected later on Monday.
