Description

Western Australia faces critical emergency situations as severe weather and bushfires cause widespread outages, leaving residents unable to reach Triple Zero. A bushfire in Geraldton results in one home lost, with arson suspected. Meanwhile, a plane crash off Rottnest Island highlights the importance of air safety and the quick response of emergency teams. Families push for action on asbestos, as mesothelioma cases rise, and the WA government responds to a landmark report on forced adoptions, but has not yet committed to a redress scheme.
