Young Aussie dad fighting for life in ICU after scooter crash in Bali
A Queensland man is in a critical condition in a Bali hospital after a devastating scooter accident left him with multiple fractures and internal injuries. Bundaberg local Keanu Neilson is currently heavily sedated in an ICU ward in the holiday hotspot with doctors battling to save his life. The father-of-one suffered a broken nose and pelvis, fractured cheekbone and temple, a snapped upper arm, and internal bleeding on the brain in the crash. He underwent emergency surgery on Thursday, but remains in a serious condition, with fears he may not survive without urgent, ongoing care. Mr Neilson's family and friends have launched a desperate plea for help to fund the life-saving treatment he needs. In Indonesia, all medical care must be paid up front as there is no public healthcare system. Mitch Lamb has started a GoFundMe to help cover the rising hospital bills that could otherwise stand in the way of his friend's recovery. He said Mr Neilson's three-year-old daughter Ellie is waiting for her dad to come home, not yet understanding the full extent of what's happened. 'Waiting back home is his beautiful three-year-old daughter, Ellie, who keeps asking when her daddy is coming home. We're doing everything we can to make sure the answer to that question is: soon,' Mr Lamb wrote. The father-of-one suffered a broken nose and pelvis, fractured cheekbone and temple, a snapped upper arm (pictured) and internal bleeding on the brain in the crash The crash has turned life upside down for Mr Neilson's family. His partner, brother and sister-in-law have remained by his side at every moment. Describing the dad as one of the 'kindest, most vibrant souls' he's ever known, Mr Lamb said seeing him unconscious and broken was nothing short of heartbreaking. 'But we believe in miracles, and we believe in the power of community,' he wrote. 'Let's rally around Keanu. So Ellie can hug her daddy again, and their little family can begin the long journey of healing, together.' 'Whether it's $5 or $500, every single dollar gets us closer to saving his life. 'And if you can't donate right now, please share the page far and wide. The more people who see it, the faster we can act.' The fundraiser, launched earlier this week, has already started gaining traction, with supporters expressing their hope for a full recovery.

Fremantle Chamber Orchestra: Teen violinist Ellie Malonzo to lead anniversary show
The Fremantle Chamber Orchestra is continuing its 20th anniversary celebrations with a musician who was not even born when it held its first performance. 15-year-old violinist Ellie Malonzo will take centre stage for the orchestra's Strings of Winter concert at the Fremantle Town Hall next month. She has won 11 first prizes at international competitions and performed in the USA, Vienna, Canada, London, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. When she was 12, Ellie became the youngest soloist to perform with the FCO. Her teacher Paul Wright will perform with her and solo, as well as conduct the FCO. Other performances include cellist Melinda Forsythe playing Romance by Franchomme, and Adagio from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto featuring Michael Hodgkins. Audience members will be able to enjoy the show from the town hall's newly refurbished balcony. The $600,000 project by the City of Fremantle to upgrade the balcony area and increase the venue's capacity was completed last month. Builders from heritage restoration specialists CLPM re-levelled the tiers, increased the balustrade height, installed new seats, handrails, carpet and floor lighting and completed general restoration works. One of the new features is an area for patrons with accessibility needs and their companions, with lift access from the adjacent Walyalup Civic Centre building. A row of seats from when the balcony was added in 1895 and a row of seats and seat ends from the Art Deco period have been refurbished and retained for display purposes. The city is deciding what to do with the remaining seating components salvaged during the works, which are stored in its civic collection. The balcony project was made possible by a Commonwealth Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program grant from the Federal Government. The FCO will perform on Saturday, August 9, at 3pm at the Fremantle Town Hall as part of the city's 10 Nights in Port Festival. Tickets are available via Performances will also be held in Menora on August 10 and Geraldton on August 22. For tickets, visit trybooking.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A YOUNG woman has never counted calories and still guzzles fizzy drinks, but has been able to lose 4 stone 6 lbs. In just six months, Ellie Hornett, the self-proclaimed 'professional yapper,' shifted the weight without using Mounjaro and has now revealed the 10 things she swears by to slim down. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An influencer has revealed that in just six months, she lost 4 stone 6 lbs without using fat jabs Credit: TikTok/@elliehornettx 2 Ellie Hornett got candid on her impressive weight loss and claimed that she still drinks fizzy drinks and eats chocolate Credit: TikTok/@elliehornettx So if you're struggling to lose weight and don't want to rely on fat jabs, then you've come to the right place. Posting on social media, the 5ft 1inch blonde beauty, who topped the scales at 12 stone 6 lbs in November 2024 but since May 2025 weighs just 8 stone, got candid on 'healing her relationship with food' and shared exactly how many steps she does every single day to stay looking trim. Never counting calories In a short clip uploaded online, Ellie got candid on her weight loss and revealed that the first piece of advice she swears by is to never count calories but instead, to be calorie mindful. She said: 'I've never counted calories, I wanted it to be sustainable and that won't be sustainable for me, I do portion control and be calorie mindful - I don't cut out any food groups, if I want to have chocolate I will, I'll just have it in a smaller portion.' Healthy mindset Secondly, Ellie stressed the importance of learning about food groups and grasping a healthy mindset. But having said this, she claimed adopting this mentality can be 'the hardest thing' for many. Start as you mean to go on Additionally, Ellie starts the day off as she means to go on and instead of downing hot chocolates and chomping on croissants first thing in the morning, she has green tea and water, to encourage healthy habits throughout the day. Fasting Not only this, but the fourth piece of advice Ellie lives by is having a smaller window of eating. The influencer recognised that she doesn't start eating until 2pm, as she acknowledged that once she starts, she 'won't stop.' Get moving Not only this, but exercise is key for Ellie, as she shared her fifth and vital part of weight loss. I'm a 'former fatty' who lost 12 stone WITHOUT jabs - being slim means I don't have to eat in the car to avoid judgement She added: 'Walking is what really did it for me - obviously exercise is so tailored to your lifestyle - I unintentionally do 20,000 steps a day because I've got a manual job.' Ellie claimed that she tried going to the gym but was left feeling 'burnt out.' However, the weight started 'falling off' her when she increased her steps from 10,000 to 20,000 a day. Zero calorie fizzy drinks As well as walking, Ellie also praised Coke Zero as a helping hand in her weight loss. She claimed that every time she wants a sweet treat, she will instead ship a zero calorie drink to help her 'look past' her cravings. Stay hydrated And not only does she like a fizzy drink from time to time, but she also drinks lots of water too. Once you start looking after yourself and putting yourself at number one, it will equate to all aspects of your life Ellie Hornett Eating right Following this, Ellie revealed her eighth piece of advice, as she stressed: 'Don't eat too little - when I first started my weight loss journey I had such a low food intake, I was angry, irritable and wasn't moving as much, but when I started eating more and the right stuff with the right nutrients, I started moving more and it actually started falling off quicker than when I was eating less.' Push the plate back Ellie then explained how learning to 'push the plate back' has also helped her to lose weight. The NHS 12-step plan to help you lose weight FROM faddy diets to dodgy detoxes - most of us have heard it all before when it comes to weight loss. But burning fat can be easy and mostly free. In fact, the NHS has a whole load of medically-approved tips for weight loss and shedding body fat once and for all... Don't skip breakfast Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry. Eat regular meals Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar. Eat plenty of fruit and veg Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals. Get more active Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone. Drink lots of water People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need. Eat high fibre foods Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils. Read food labels Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan. Use a smaller plate Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. Don't ban foods Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance. Don't stock junk food To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice. Cut down on alcohol A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain. Plan your meals Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list. 'It took me so long to unlearn the behaviour of eating everything just because it's on my plate - if I'm genuinely hungry obviously eat the lot, but I've now learnt if I'm not hungry I'm just eating it because it's there,' she shared. Put yourself first Finally, this content creator stressed the importance of taking care of yourself and putting yourself first, as she concluded: ' Once you start looking after yourself and putting yourself at number one, it will equate to all aspects of your life.' Social media users react Ellie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @elliehornettx, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 83,700 views, 4,916 likes and 145 comments.
