Latest posts Pinned post from 9.40am Elderly man killed in Canning Vale crash An elderly man has died after a crash in Canning Vale on Wednesday evening. Police said the 78-year-old man was hit by a grey Honda CRV station wagon travelling south on Nicholson Road, just before the intersection with Randford Road, about 6.20pm. He was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital with critical injuries, but later died.

Anyone with information about the crash is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a report online. 9.40am What's making headlines today The fallout and counting from Saturday's election continues across Australia today. Labor will continue preparations for its second term, with a caucus meeting set to occur in Canberra tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Coalition is preparing to appoint a new leader ahead of another three years in opposition. Here's what else you need to know as we start the morning: Anthony Albanese's new cabinet could be sworn in as early as Tuesday morning, following a meeting of caucus on Friday. Albanese is expected to consider changes to his frontbench over the weekend, though senior ministers including Richard Marles, Jim Chalmers, Penny Wong and Katy Gallagher are expected to remain in their roles. Three former Liberal premiers have backed the party's deputy leader Sussan Ley to replace Peter Dutton. Jeff Kennett, Nick Greiner and Barry O'Farrell have all thrown their support behind Ley, while her main opponent for the leadership, Angus Taylor, has also garnered significant support within the party. Greens leader Adam Bandt is set to lose his seat of Melbourne, leaving the minor party in disarray after a string of disappointing election results. Labor has claimed victory for candidate Sarah Witty, though Bandt is yet to concede. The Greens have already conceded defeat in the seats of Griffith and Brisbane, but are ahead in the Queensland seat of Ryan. Dutton returned to Canberra on Wednesday to farewell staff at his Parliament House office, marking his first public appearance since losing his seat of Dickson in Labor's landslide victory. He didn't comment on the Liberal Party leadership contest, instead saying 'the easiest thing for former leaders to do is to maintain a graceful silence'. 9.38am Today's weather 9.33am Welcome to our live news blog Good morning readers, and welcome to our live news blog for Thursday, May 8. Making headlines today is new data showing the growth in Perth's most in-demand schools. The government data reveals Rossmoyne Senior High School has become the state's biggest school for the first time, surpassing the number enrolled at Shenton College by 51 students. Eight public high schools now have more than 2000 enrolments, including Mount Lawley Senior High School, which recorded 2060 students in semester 1. Holly Thompson has the full story. You can read all about it here. Meanwhile, Jesinta Burton has an exclusive story about plans for a no-protest zone around Government House that were considered but ultimately abandoned by the City of Perth council. Documents released under Freedom of Information laws and obtained by WAtoday show the proposal came to the council in January 2024 after an unnamed person — whose identity has been suppressed — raised safety concerns with former lord mayor Basil Zempilas. The concerns related to arrests made over antisocial behaviour, high traffic and more than two dozen buses on St Georges Terrace. The plan involved removing the 'implied licence' of people to protest by standing on the footpath in front of the heritage-listed Government House.
