Queensland woman refuses to pay for $1.6million farm as fight erupts during settlement
The buyer of a $1.6million farm in Queensland has attempted to pull out of the deal at the eleventh hour due to a list of grievances including the disappearance of two goats, the wheelie bins which were not emptied and the lawn was not mowed. Neveen Moussa was due to pay farm owner Mellissa Gai Eather the balance purchase price for the home and 3.04 hectares of land in Tamborine, Queensland, on April 24. But she refused, instead suing Ms Eather a month later for 'breach of contract' in the Supreme Court of Queensland in May with a list of issues she found. Ms Moussa claimed two goats which had been included in the fee for the home on Greensward Road were gone, court documents seen by The Courier Mail said. The issues included full bins, unmowed grass, a broken front gate, cider bottles and paint cans littered around, and a lack of vacuuming in the garage, shed and patio. She also complained she was not left small furniture for the property's tiny home, nor did she receive the 'map of the fruit trees, their number, type and location'. The court heard a special condition in the contract said 'two rubber swans in the dam' and 15 chickens would be included in the sale. It was not suggested the rubber birds were missing from the home. Ms Moussa's legal claim tried to force Ms Eather to hand over the keys to the home within seven business days of her anticipated legal win. During the case, the homeowner denied there was a breach of contract. In the Supreme Court on July 7, Justice Glenn Martin ruled there was no breach of contract, deciding Ms Eather would receive unspecified damages on a future date. 'Ms Moussa, in her statement of claim, appears to treat all the breaches … as breaches of conditions of the contract,' Justice Glenn said in his decision. 'It is difficult to understand how, for example, an option to purchase two goats could be regarded as an essential term of the contract. 'Likewise, it is not obvious that failure to empty a wheelie bin would constitute a breach of an essential term. Nevertheless, these were relied upon by Ms Moussa.' During the case, Justice Martin found Ms Moussa 'was taken to have admitted that none of the breaches... were of essential terms'. 'Ms Moussa is taken to have admitted that she was not entitled to refuse to settle on 24 April,' he said. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, which was last sold in December 2021 for $1.38 million, is still listed on Domain and as for sale. The property is located under an hour from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, sitting between the two cities and slightly inland. It has renewable energy-friendly features including solar panels and solar hot water. A 5-m deep dam filled with silver perch is also on the property, fitted with a jetty and a pump for irrigation. There are citrus, avocado and pomegranate plants in the landscaped garden as well as two separate outdoor living areas, including the tiny home.

5 US immigrants deported to Eswatini in Africa are being held in solitary confinement
Five immigrants deported by the United States to the small southern African nation of Eswatini under the Trump administration's third-country program are in prison, where they will be held in solitary confinement for an undetermined time, a government spokesperson said. Thabile Mdluli, the spokesperson, declined to identify the correctional facility or facilities where the five men are, citing security concerns. She said Eswatini planned to ultimately repatriate the five to their home countries with the help of a United Nations agency. In cell phone messages to The Associated Press on Thursday, Mdluli said it wasn't clear how long that would take. The men, who the U.S. says were convicted of serious crimes and were in the U.S. illegally, are citizens of Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen and Laos. Their convictions included murder and child rape, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said, describing them as "uniquely barbaric." Their deportations were announced by Homeland Security on Tuesday and mark the continuation of President Donald Trump 's plan to send deportees to third countries they have no ties with after it was stalled by a legal challenge in the United States. Here's what we know and don't know about the deportations: A new country for deportees Eswatini, a country of 1.2 million people bordering South Africa, is the latest nation to accept third-country deportees from the U.S. The Trump administration has sent hundreds of Venezuelans and others to Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama, and deported eight men earlier this month to South Sudan, also an African country. The deportees to South Sudan are citizens of Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam and South Sudan. They were held for weeks in a converted shipping container at a U.S. military base in the nearby country of Djibouti until a Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for them to be finally sent to South Sudan. The U.S. also described them as violent criminals. Eswatini's government confirmed on Wednesday that the latest five deportees were in its custody after landing on a deportation plane from the U.S. Local media reported they are being held at the Matsapha Correctional Complex, outside the country's administrative capital of Mbabane, which includes Eswatini's top maximum-security prison. The men's fate is unclear The Eswatini government said the men are 'in transit' and will eventually be sent to their home countries. The U.S. and Eswatini governments would work with the U.N. migration agency to do that, it said. The U.N. agency — the International Organization for Migration or IOM — said it was not involved in the operation and has not been approached to assist in the matter but would be willing to help 'in line with its humanitarian mandate.' Eswatini's statement that the men would be sent home was in contrast to U.S. claims they were sent to Eswatini because their home countries refused to take them back. It's unclear how sending the men to Eswatini would make it easier for them to be deported home. There was also no timeframe for that as it depends on several factors, including engagements with the IOM, Mdluli said. 'We are not yet in a position to determine the timelines for the repatriation,' she wrote. Four of the five countries where the men are from have historically resisted taking back some of their citizens deported from the U.S., which has been a reoccurring problem for Homeland Security. Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the administration was happy the men were 'off of American soil' when she announced their deportations. Another secretive deal There have been no details on why Eswatini agreed to take the men and Mdluli, the government spokesperson, said "the terms of the agreement between the U.S. and Eswatini remain classified.' Eswatini has said it was the result of months of negotiations between the two governments. South Sudan has also given no details of its agreement with the U.S. to take deportees and has declined to say where the eight men sent there are being held. Some analysts say African nations might be willing to take deportees from the U.S. in return for more favorable relations with the Trump administration, which has cut foreign aid to poor countries and threatened them with trade tariffs. The Trump administration has also said it's seeking more deportation deals with other countries. Rights groups have questioned the countries the U.S. has chosen to deal with, as South Sudan and Eswatini have both been criticized for having repressive governments. Eswatini is Africa's only absolute monarchy, meaning the king has power over government and rules by decree. Political parties are banned and pro-democracy protests have been quelled violently in the past. Several rights groups have criticized Eswatini since pro-democracy protests erupted there in 2021, citing deadly crackdowns by security forces and abusive conditions in prisons, including at the Matsapha Correctional Complex, where pro-democracy activists are held. ___ Associated Press writers Mogomotsi Magome and Michelle Gumede in Johannesburg contributed to this report.

Manchester Airport suspect: I thought police would batter me to death
A man who attacked police at Manchester Airport feared he would be 'battered' to death by an officer, a court heard. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, is accused of assaulting three Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers as they tried to arrest him on the evening of July 23 last year. Pc Zachary Marsden and Pc Ellie Cook, armed officers, attended the Terminal 2 car park pay station area with Pc Lydia Wardafter, an unarmed officer, after reports that a man fitting Mr Amaaz's description had headbutted a member of the public. Giving evidence at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, Mr Amaaz said he had acted in self-defence and in defence of his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, when he was grabbed at the ticket machine with no explanation. He said a police officer, Pc Marsden, took hold of his arm, adding: 'All of a sudden I remember him grabbing the back of my neck and trying to force me to the ground. 'I was frightened. Honestly I believed if he took me to the ground I thought he would have battered me to the point where I was dead and he would have killed me.' Imran Khan KC, defending, asked: 'Why did you think that Fahir?' Mr Amaaz said: 'Because it's not like it has not happened before in the past, that some police officers have abused their powers and as a result of that people have died.' Mr Amaaz said he stayed on his feet and looked up to see his brother being punched in the face 'repeatedly'. He told the court: 'Honestly I was shocked. I thought: 'What the hell are these lot doing? Why are they punching him in the face?' We have police officers in our family.' Mr Khan said: 'Did you think there was a legitimate reason for them grabbing you in the way they did?' Mr Amaaz said: 'If there was I would have expected them to give me that reason and communicated to us in some way.' Mr Amaaz went on to strike the two female officers, who were both knocked to the ground, with Pc Ward suffering a broken nose. He said he kicked out at one of the officers to 'get him away' from Mr Amaaz and then punched Pc Cook for the same reason. Mr Amaaz said then he saw Pc Marsden pointing what he thought was a gun – in fact a Taser – at his brother. He said: 'Honestly I believe this guy is about to shoot and kill my brother. I think I shouted: 'No!' I didn't want him to pull that trigger.' He ran towards Pc Marsden and struck him from behind before Pc Cook fired her Taser at him, the court heard. Mr Amaaz said: 'I believed I had saved my brother's life then all of a sudden if feels like all the energy has just gone out of me. It felt like the soul being sucked out of my body and everything went stiff.' He said he thought he was 'dying' as he held on to Pc Marsden as they both fell backwards. Mr Amaaz told the jury that he had no hostility towards the police and that another brother, Abid, was a serving GMP officer. He added that his uncle was a GMP officer for 30 years before his retirement and that six cousins were also employed by GMP. Mr Amaaz is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden and Pc Ward, causing them actual bodily harm. He is also accused of the assault of emergency worker Pc Cook, and the earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at a Starbucks cafe in T2 arrivals. Mr Amaad is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden, causing actual bodily harm. Both men, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, deny the allegations.
