Coles makes change in hundreds of stores, Bindi Irwin's big personal reveal: Australia news live

The extreme winter heat is continuing, with abnormally high temperatures expected this weekend in Queensland.

Brisbane could reach 35C on Saturday, while Ipswich could hit 37C, the Bureau of Meteorology states.

Birdsville could break its August record tomorrow, just days after setting a new record last sunday with 38.4C. The town is expecting 39C for Friday.

This is becoming more and more common in supermarkets but it's still startling to see.

Supermarkets around the world are ramping up their anti-theft measures to crack down on a rise in shoplifting. The cost of living crisis continues to hit hard, with more and more people turning to theft.

Bindi Irwin has revealed she will likely only have one child after her difficult battle with endometriosis.

Speaking with husband Chandler in a video shared to YouTube this morning, Bindi says fans have been continuously asking about the possibility of further children and she asked people to refrain from asking such personal questions, even if they mean well.

"Remember to be careful when you ask this question because you never know what's happening in someone's life," she said.

"It's a really tricky question for many people who maybe can't have another baby.

"We feel very lucky to have Grace, she is our beautiful girl but she will probably be our one child."

Ok, this is impressive.

So the buzz about Oasis' reunion continues with tickets for their 2025 tour set to go on sale this weekend.

And there's been plenty of rumours about additional performances, particularly Glastonbury festival.

With many surprised Manchester is not the location of their first gig back, plenty of fans believe this is because they will later be announced as a headliner for Glastonbury, which will be before the first concert in Wales.

But Oasis have tried to put those rumours to bed, saying they won't be doing any festivals in 2025. See the band's brief statement below.

In some breaking news now, two people have been found dead inside a home in Brisbane’s north.

Police were called to a house on Kentville Street in Mitchelton about 8.50am before a crime scene was declared at the residence, and an investigation is underway.

Police have cordoned off half the street and a man was seen being escorted from the area in a forensic suit by police.

The mother of the baby left with severe burns after hot coffee was poured over him in a Brisbane park says she wishes she had been the target.

“My baby boy didn’t deserve this, no one does. I wish he poured the hot coffee all over me and not my boy,” she said on social media.

Police say a man fled the scene after allegedly pouring the coffee over baby Luka, who had been on a picnic with his mother in Hanlon Park in Brisbane at noon on Tuesday.

The nine-month-old has since undergone surgery for burns to his face and chest at Queensland Children’s Hospital and has reportedly suffered serious burns to 60 per cent of his body including his face, neck, chest and arms.

A Sydney council has started work on a giant sign blocking harbour views after more than 290 trees were illegally destroyed last year.

Lane Cove Council will erect the seven metre by two metre sign on the foreshore of Woodford Bay near the affluent suburb of Longueville.

Council announced this week it was continuing to build a case for lodgement in court against those responsible for cutting down the trees.

"The legal case and banner installation are important steps in our commitment to seeking the strongest possible recourse response to send a message that we stand tall against tree vandalism in Lane Cove," they said.

Coles has binned single-use plastic produce bags in Western Australia as the state nears its single-use plastic ban.

The supermarket will replace the bags with compostable ones which can be placed in home composts or some council's bins accomodating compostable waste.

Coles partner Planet Ark’s Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Gilling said it was a "step in the right direction" and urged shoppers to avoid using bags supplied by the supermarket for their produce altogether.

Well this is certainly an interesting attempt to win votes.

AFL great Anthony Koutoufides is offering Melburnians a free Monday morning coffee in his bid to become Melbourne lord mayor.

He says he's desperate to revitalise the CBD after the pandemic, and is offering workers a free caffeine hit if he wins the upcoming local council election.

“Let’s put smiles back on people’s faces again.. a free coffee can make a big difference," he said, the Herald Sun reported.

The finer details of the proposed scheme including costs and how coffees can be redeemed are yet to be finalised, the publication reported.

In what is becoming a disturbingly common occurrence, another lithium-ion battery fire has occurred at a Sydney home overnight.

It left two people in Roseville with burns as they tried to remove the e-skateboard that had caught fire as it charged.

Authorities are once again urging people to remember the following lithium battery rules:

• Always charge larger devices, such as e-bikes, e-scooters and power tools, away from living spaces and exits.

• Never sleep or leave home with your lithium-ion battery devices charging.

• Once a device has recharged fully, disconnect it from the charger.

• Use a replacement battery or charger from the manufacturer and never ‘mix and match’ components.

• Beware of cheap, substandard lithium-ion battery devices.

• Never leave devices charging on beds, sofas or around combustible materials.

• Do not touch a device or lithium-ion battery that is emitting vapour or gas, or is on fire. Immediately evacuate the area and call Triple Zero (000).

A Queensland grandmother's body has been found 800km from home in bushland near a main tourist area.

Wendy Hansen, 63, was last seen at an ATM in her home town of Monto, 120km inland from Bundaberg, on February 29 this year.

Her disappearance was reported to police when she didn’t return home, and police found CCTV footage of her driving on Queensland’s main highway, 400km south, from later on February 29.

Queensland Police continued their public push for information in the ensuing months.

But on Thursday, NSW Police revealed Ms Hansen’s body was found on June 18.

Her remains were found half buried in bushland near Jordan Esplanade in Coffs Harbour.

A woman who rushed to help her friend's baby after hot coffee was poured over him at a Brisbane park has recalled the devastating moment.

“This man was standing above him, behind him, and poured a Thermos of hot coffee over him. He just started screaming,” Zara Mazza said as she struggled to hold back tears on The Project.

"All I could hear was his mum screaming that it’s hot. ‘It’s hot, it’s hot coffee’, so I ran back and as I ran back picked up my water bottle and dumped it over him.”

Her account left The Project hosts visibly emotional with Waleed Aly almost speechless.

“This is really, really hard. I don’t... I don’t think any of us know what to say to you because we have never really seen anything quite like this,” Aly said as he thanked Mazza for coming on the show considering the circumstances.

The nine-month-old has since undergone surgery for burns to his face and chest at Queensland Children’s Hospital and has reportedly suffered serious burns to 60 per cent of his body including his face, neck, chest and arms.

Police continue to search for a man they believe is aged between 30 and 40 and have released images of a man to the public.
