Homicide investigation underway as 65-year-old found dead in Homebush West
Emergency services were called to the property in Courallie Avenue in Homebush West at about 11:30pm on Friday to conduct a welfare check.
Superintendent Robert Toynton of NSW Police's Auburn command said on Saturday the man's body was found in a granny flat at the back of the property.
A knife was found at the home, police said, but the cause of death would be confirmed in a post-mortem.
A 31-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to Auburn Police Station, where he is aiding police with their inquiries.
Police said witnesses, including the people who made the welfare reports, were being interviewed.
Superintendent Toynton said police understood the two men were known to each other but were not related, so the incident was not being treated as a domestic violence matter.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Three charged over alleged Kew East home invasion and stabbing of man
A man and two teenagers have been charged with breaking into a family home in Melbourne's east and repeatedly stabbing a father multiple times after forcing his wife into a bedroom with her children. Police say five people smashed a large window to enter the home on Oxford Street in Kew East about 4am on Sunday. It is alleged they were armed with a machete, knife and garden shears when they confronted the husband and wife, demanding access to a safe before separating the couple into different rooms. The 39-year-old man was then allegedly stabbed 11 times in the face, neck and arms. His 70-year-old and 69-year-old parents were also in the home at the time and were hurt when they tried to help their son, suffering cuts to the arm and leg as well as facial injuries. The husband was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The wife was treated for minor injuries, and the older couple were also taken to hospital. Two children, aged 2 and 3, and a fifth adult were not hurt. Police said four of the alleged offenders fled in the family's car, while the fifth left in the vehicle the group arrived in. The family's car was found in Deer Park, in Melbourne's west. Three males were arrested a short time later. A 24-year-old Caroline Springs man was remanded in custody to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on November 5. The teenage boys were both remanded to appear in a children's court at a later date. They've all been charged with multiple offences, including aggravated home invasion, intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury, false imprisonment and theft. 'I've never seen anything like this. This is awful,' Detective Sergeant Leeanne Trusler said on Sunday. She said the husband also had a broken arm and required eye surgery. She alleged it was a random attack. Police were still searching for the other two alleged offenders.

Abuse proves changes to child care are urgently needed but is the government brave enough to start again?
Multiple stories of children being abused in childcare centres have put governments and their snail-like bureaucracies on notice. There is a growing realisation that the old script about the complexity of the system and long time frames to fix it does not meet the moment. Politicians and policymakers are now in overdrive. The consensus built on collective disgust following these revelations points to a system so broken that it needs fundamental change in the longer term. More on that later. On Friday, federal Attorney-General Michelle Rowland felt the fire of national outrage after she began the day suggesting it could take 12 months to get the working-with-children checks fixed. The tsunami of outrage was predictable: The public is in disbelief that we have built a system incapable of tracking alleged perpetrators or raising red flags. An investigation by the ABC revealed a Victorian childcare worker was sacked for sexual misconduct in 2020 — after an internal investigation found he was grooming and kissing toddlers — and was considered such a risk to children that he was blacklisted from the industry. This worker was allowed to keep his Working with Children Check (WWCC) for years after his sacking. It was not revoked after his sacking, nor after he was slapped with a prohibition order in 2024 that banned him from working in childcare. The story sent further shock waves through the community, and his case demonstrates just how farcical the system is in practice. By Friday afternoon, Rowland promised state and territory governments would "pull out all stops" to close loopholes being used by child abusers this year, just hours after saying it could take up to 12 months. But after a meeting of attorneys-general, Rowland also confirmed there would be no national Working With Children Check system to replace the patchwork of state and territory-administered criminal justice systems. Instead, ministers would work on a national "checking capability" that allowed the states and territories to communicate with each other. "We are not looking to redo individual state systems. We are looking for consistency," Rowland said. The national children's commissioner, Anne Hollonds, welcomed the initial changes but said working-with-children checks need to be more robust. She told me the announcement by ministers on Friday does not make this particular screening tool any stronger, despite the check being the outstanding element that must be addressed. "It does need to be stronger. It is very basic still. It is mostly about police convictions in the past," Hollonds argued. "And I think the name itself, Working with Children Check, kind of gives the impression that it is assessing your suitability to care for children, which it is clearly not. It is just checking whether you have police convictions, in most cases." Hollonds believed a more comprehensive check is required to assess the suitability of people who want to care for children. This would give employers more confidence that they are employing the right people, she said. Key to the checks must be the proposed national register of educators, Hollonds said. "That is really, really important. We need to be doing proper referee checks, we need mandatory child safety training on top of their basic early childhood educator training. All of these things will help to strengthen the safeguarding scaffolding that we need, not just in the early childhood sector but beyond." The shadow attorney-general, Julian Leeser, told me he believed the government should be moving towards a "fit and proper person" test. This would fundamentally change the definition of a working-with-children check from one focused on a narrow police lens to one more broadly about character. The federal government wants you to know it is serious about change. On Friday, it launched compliance action against 30 childcare centres. Education Minister Jason Clare said these centres failed to meet National Quality Standards and he would withdraw funding from them if they did not lift their performance over the next six months. On Tuesday this week, we will learn their names and locations, which will be published on the department's website. It is a public naming and shaming that the government hopes will shift the dial. But while all the tough compliance is desperately needed, there are much deeper questions we need to start asking. The prime minister's vision for universal childcare cannot be realised under the current policy paradigm, and the government is facing an internal reckoning. There is a growing consensus that a fundamentally flawed system cannot continue to be expanded. A different model may be the answer — but achieving that would be difficult and would ruffle feathers. The for-profit sector, which has enjoyed the industry's expansion on its bottom line, is likely to be particularly disgruntled. Finance Minister Katy Gallagher said moving towards universal childcare was a policy priority, but that the government needs to work on the workforce and infrastructure before it can commit to moving forward. Her answer demonstrates the government is acutely aware that the system, as it is, cannot be scaled up easily without risks. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has suggested he is open to reforming the current subsidy model when asked if there was an appetite for change. Inside the government, conversations are underway about how childcare centres are funded, and many Labor MPs have made clear their desire to see an overhaul in the for-profit childcare sector. The Greens want a Senate inquiry into the quality and safety of early childhood education and care as soon as parliament resumes. The Coalition on Friday suggested they would back it. Senator Steph Hodgins-May, the Greens spokesperson for early childhood education and care, said real action means more than introducing improved checks a decade after it was recommended. "It means tackling for-profit cowboys sidelining quality and care in favour of profit, and a workforce in crisis," she said. "The government must do more than Band-Aids. It must sit down with everyone in the parliament willing to prioritise the safety and care of our children and enact meaningful reform to keep our kids safe." On Friday this week, education ministers will meet to work on their next steps to reform the system, including a national register. The work is being done to try to reform a flawed system. A big question remains: Does the government need to be brave enough to start again? Patricia Karvelas is host of ABC News Afternoon Briefing at 4pm weekdays on ABC News Channel, co-host of the weekly Party Room podcast with Fran Kelly and host of politics and news podcast Politics Now.

Inside the fringe groups fighting a 'quasi civil war' with self-styled sheriffs and their own court
They gather in a quiet Perth neighbourhood, wearing matching purple polo shirts and lanyards identifying them as "Common Law Sheriff" and "Guardian of the Law". These sheriffs, who look like someone's neighbour, are sworn to enforce the laws of their court. A court that has "convicted" a prime minister, "sentenced" premiers, and "ruled" on a child protection case. But this court has no legal authority, it's run by the Sovereign Peoples Assembly of Western Australia (SPAWA). The sheriffs seem cautious. Wary of being dismissed as a cult, they've never spoken to mainstream media before. Their spiritual guide, crown Leith Masters, speaks with meditative conviction, describing their organisation as, "The gathering of people to enact law". "[The government] is not the authority, it's the public servant. We're the authority, the people are the authority, working in law," she says. Often described as sovereign citizens, SPAWA and groups like it believe the government is illegitimate and people should live under a natural, God-given law that is superior to any of the rules that govern society. Using pseudolaw — a collection of legal-sounding concepts and arguments that have no basis in actual law — they target what they see as oppressive institutions. Two of the group's sheriffs were recently jailed for contempt of court. The sentencing judge described the group's ideology as "extremely dangerous", adding that "dangerous ideas breed dangerous people". Leith Masters insists they aren't a radical movement and are nothing to be frightened of. SPAWA is just one of a growing coalition of groups engaged in what one adherent described as a "quasi civil war". Many dismiss the label "sovereign citizens", but during COVID these groups were united by their rejection of the legitimacy of governments and courts. They believe a new age is coming that will put regular people at the top of the social hierarchy. It's playing out across the country, with some people refusing to pay council rates, register cars, or carry licences; acts they frame as a fight against tyranny. Experts and judges warn that when people "pick and choose" which laws they obey, there's a risk the situation escalates from seemingly victimless civil disobedience to violence. SPAWA members believe their own court has superior authority over traditional courts because it is run by community members, not judges or lawyers. In 2022 they conducted their own jury trial and convicted former prime minister Scott Morrison, and every premier in Australia who was involved in the response to COVID-19, with a sentence of 30 years imprisonment. In video of the trial, one woman cries in celebration of the decision. SPAWA sheriff Alan Wallace says their trials aren't just symbolic. "They've come before a jury and it is serious … they've committed crimes," he says. "We heard the evidence as set out. There's no judges or magistrates in there. There's just an adjudicator. "When they are found guilty of a charge they could get a jail sentence or a fine. "We can't impose that at this stage because the police won't recognise our court orders. The only tools we have is psychological." SPAWA's court has also held a trial on children being removed from parents by the Department of Communities. When law professor David Heilpern was a magistrate in regional NSW he was sentenced to a term of imprisonment by a different sovereign citizen group. "I was sentenced to five years jail by some sort of common law court, and I was served with those documents telling me that I was imprisoned … I suppose I really just treated it as theatre," he says. "On the other hand, where they make orders for the return of children that the family court have placed, then that has consequences for those much less protected … [by] high walls and security systems." "Psychological tools" are not the only tactic deployed by these groups. When SPAWA's court or grand jury delivers a judgment, it is the duty of their common law sheriffs to serve the resulting orders to the relevant parties. With clipboard and documents in hand a group of sheriffs approach the offices of Western Australia's land titles authority, Landgate. The documents concern mortgages held by farmers. "We've had up to 40 or 50 jurors vote unanimously on these orders around Australia," Donna says. When asked about the outcomes she hopes to achieve, she says: "Farmers get their farms back." Some time later, Donna emerges smiling. Landgate took the documents. "Just taking them and accepting them and having them lodged and put on file I think is a good win." Landgate later told Four Corners it reviewed the roughly 200 pages and won't take any further action as it "is of the view that they do not disclose any legal merit". Donna says their action is part of a co-ordinated effort, with sheriffs across the country serving documents to a variety of courts, police stations and government bodies. These sheriffs are keen to emphasise that they do not want any kind of "scuffle" and they're peaceful. They smile at the suggestion that their group holds dangerous ideologies, or when asked about the FBI's classification of sovereign citizens as domestic terrorists. Mandy Seneno says that's just spin attempting to discredit the movement "At the end of the day, law is the superior jurisdiction and that is going to win out eventually," she says. Many of these groups converged during the COVID era, when perceived government overreach and mandates prompted them to question the legitimacy of the entire legal and governmental framework underpinning society. One unifying event was the 2022 anti-vaccine mandate Convoy to Canberra — which Four Corners has confirmed is the largest protest ever held on the steps of parliament. A recurring theme in our conversations with members of these groups is the fear of being disarmed. In some states police have revoked the gun licences of people identified as having sovereign citizen beliefs, fuelling suspicions in the movement that authorities are seeking greater control over the population. "Who's got all the guns? No time in history has a population been disarmed [where there] has there not been genocide. And this is what they're doing here now," SPAWA sheriff Alan Wallace says. His claim that disarming a population inevitably leads to genocide is a US National Rifle Association talking point which is disputed by historians. Watch as Four Corners embeds with key figures in the movement that's testing the limits of Australian law, tonight from 8:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview. Associate professor of law at the University of South Australia, Joe McIntyre has been charting the rise of pseudolaw. He worries about where it ends "once you start feeling angry and you start saying, 'we can pick and choose which laws we obey.'" "People who are angry and willing to choose which laws to obey or not, do start making death threats. They do start threatening people. We have seen violence internationally." In the US, there have been a series of recent violent incidents fuelled by anti-government beliefs, including: the 2010 shooting of two police officers during a traffic stop in Arkansas; the 2014 heavily armed assault on a Georgia courthouse; and last year alone, five shootouts with police. In Australia, these groups have moved beyond being occasional administrative headaches and now rank among the judiciary's top concerns, according to experts Four Corners spoke to. David Heilpern recalls the first time he encountered pseudolaw arguments in his courtroom. "A smattering of people came before me talking what I thought was an entirely different legal language, which was along the lines of 'I am not that person. You must capitalise my name, you have no authority. You didn't take an oath over right to a jury' and sort of a mishmash of what we now know as sovereign citizen approaches," he says. "I just was quite staggered and surprised. Where has this come from?" John Quaremba doesn't call himself a sovereign citizen, but he's using many of their arguments to wage what he calls "lawfare" against our courts. He rose to prominence in the so-called freedom movement during COVID and has amassed thousands of followers online. The one-time law student has signed a document which he believes cancels his legal status in the mainstream system. "I'm cancelling power of attorney of my legal persons and all relevant trade names back to the permanent domicile of the land and soil jurisdiction of Terra Australis, commonly known as the Commonwealth of Australia," he reads from the document. He says this allows him to live his life according to a set of principles he calls "common law". John tried, unsuccessfully, to use a range of legal and pseudolaw arguments when he represented himself in an Adelaide court last month. He was found guilty of a string of offences, including driving unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured and with someone else's plates on his car. It hasn't deterred him. From his houseboat he's set up the Self Represented Litigants Association to help other people represent themselves in court. "I think that my own process and experience being at the coalface, learning from all this … I'll be able to help thousands and thousands of Australians." David Heilpern says there is "absolutely no legitimacy to any of it". "That has been found by courts at every level and in every state in Australia, and at every level in every country in the world." These groups appear to be having some success at a local government level — pushing their agenda, and bombarding councils with questions. Shayne "Cush" Allison is leading the charge in his corner of north-west Tasmania. A former councillor, Cush argues grassroots action targeting local councils is the most effective way to challenge the government. "You can enact a lot of changes if you have a fair council and proper debate. And people are voting on their community to start with and then their region and then their state rather than voting for an idealism of a government or an opposition or a party." A controversial symposium he held near Devonport last year called Unity in Community was described as a "sovereign citizen event" by the media. It's a label Cush rejects. "It's a total oxymoron, same as conspiracy theorist. It's just branding people names." Cush's primary aim seems to be increasing scrutiny of local council decisions, placing a significant burden on officials. "I'm just about integrity, accountability, transparency, regional sustainability." One council in the region estimated that responding to a single resident's 140 questions over a year cost nearly $14,000. Earlier this year, a motion which alleged that COVID vaccines are contaminated was moved at Kentish Council's AGM. Cush and his supporters backed the motion and it was passed by attendees 22 to 12. Kentish Mayor Kate Haberle told us decisions to do with vaccines are not a matter for council, and they're required to act as directed under the Public Health Act. Cush's strategy is part of a coordinated national effort. In Victoria, sovereign citizen linked groups have overwhelmed local governments with petitions and protests, forcing event cancellations and public bans at meetings. In Western Australia, groups have pressured over a dozen councils to ask state and federal governments to consider banning further COVID vaccines. Meanwhile, in New South Wales and Queensland, another sovereign citizen group has walked into council offices and police stations, declaring they no longer hold any jurisdiction. Dr McIntyre says these movements are "affecting our institutions of law and the efficacy of our law and therefore it's impacting upon our society". "All law is politics. All law is social. Law is how we order our society. Law is the device by which we pull together 30 million people to live in a small space." Mr Heilpern is still grappling with how the law, and our broader society, should treat these ideologies. "This is something that has occupied my mind a lot. What do we call it? What is the essence of it and is it justified to call it a trauma reaction? Is it justified to call it a cult? Is it justified to call it a delusion? "Myself, I think it really is akin to a cult … a complete delusion and exception of the reality that the rest of us in society accept. "Once people go down that rabbit hole it seems very, very hard for them to get out." Watch Four Corners' full investigation, Lawfare, tonight from 8:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
