Legal academic Alan Boulton granted bail over child abuse material charges
A former judge charged after allegedly showing child abuse images to university students has been granted bail and plans to travel to Europe on an expensive trip. Alan Boulton, 74, was charged with three counts of possessing child abuse material after an alleged incident at Monash University's law chambers in the Melbourne CBD in February this year. Mr Boulton's case was brought before the Melbourne Magistrates' Court for the first time on Thursday for a filing hearing. His barrister, Holly Baxter, said her client had been "up front" with investigators, and was seeking permission to travel to Europe while on bail. "He booked the trip. A serious amount of money has been spent on that trip," Ms Baxter said. Ms Baxter said Mr Boulton had travelled overseas during the police investigation and had returned with no issues. The condition was granted by Magistrate Brett Sonnet, who adjourned the case until November, and ordered police to file a brief of evidence by September 18. Details of the allegations against Mr Boulton were not aired in court on Thursday. Victoria Police has previously said that "inappropriate images were inadvertently displayed during a university lecture in the CBD on Wednesday 5 February". Mr Boulton did not attend court in-person, instead appearing via video link wearing a suit and tie. He is yet to enter a plea to the charges. Mr Boulton, a former senior deputy director of the Fair Work Commission and Order of Australia recipient, was charged in July after a five-month investigation by Victoria Police. Properties in the Melbourne suburb of Middle Park and in Sydney were raided by police during the investigation. Monash University said it referred the matter to police and suspended Mr Boulton immediately. He is no longer employed by the university.

'Is that him?': search intensifies for missing man one year after disappearance
Samual Fallshaw's family is still searching for answers a year after his disappearance. The 49-year-old's car was parked at an intersection in regional Australia for days, prompting his family to contact police and launch an investigation into his disappearance in June 2024. Detectives believe Mr Fallshaw may be in the Newcastle area, with witnesses claiming to have seen him as recently as July. As Australia marks Missing Persons Week, police are calling for members of the public to come forward with fresh information regarding Mr Fallshaw's location. Neil Fallshaw, Samuel's father, has struggled with the grief of his son's disappearance. "Whenever we hear of a tragic incident of any kind, we can't help but wonder, 'Is that him?'" he said. The most recent confirmed sighting of Mr Fallshaw was at Penrith Train Station at 3pm on May 28, 2024. His father's suspicions were raised after he saw that Mr Fallshaw's car had been parked at the intersection of Warks Hill Road and Bells Line of Road in Kurrajong Heights for five days. On June 1, the father reported his son missing to police, requesting a welfare check. As a result of the 14-month investigation, police believe that Mr Fallshaw may have travelled to the Newcastle area. He was known to visit Hamilton, detectives said. He was described as being of Caucasian appearance, around 180 centimetres tall, of large build with brown medium-length hair and hazel eyes. Two appeals for public information have been made since his disappearance, but friends and family have not seen or heard from Mr Fallshaw in a year. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or Information is managed on a confidential basis.

Gareth Ward's lawyer calls NSW parliament 'kangaroo court' amid MP's effort to avoid expulsion
A lawyer for Gareth Ward has described state parliament's lower house as a "kangaroo court" as he argued against the expulsion of the NSW MP convicted of sex offences. The independent Kiama MP, who is in custody after his bail was revoked last week, is seeking orders from the Court of Appeal to prevent the legislative assembly from expelling him. Ward's barrister, Peter King, told the court on Thursday his expulsion from parliament would amount to punishment and a denial of procedural fairness. "His existing right as a member of the assembly to speak in the debate to oppose the resolution is lost," Mr King said. "So in short he is to be expelled by a kangaroo court."
