  Victoria’s Healing After the Manhunt | Melbourne News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  A year after Victoria’s largest manhunt following the tragic deaths of two police officers, the community is healing—and thriving. The intense search, sparked by suspect Dezi Freeman’s escape into the bush, turned a region already battered by bushfires and pandemic into a focal point of national attention. Locals like Jo Marsh witnessed the chaos firsthand, while businesses from wineries to adventure guides suffered immediate setbacks—Mount Buffalo National Park even shut down for weeks. Yet, resilience shone through: tourism rebounded, businesses recovered, and visitors returned to embrace the area’s natural beauty. As the anniversary nears, memorial gardens will honor the fallen officers in Bright and Wangaratta, offering a moment of reflection and unity. With hope in their hearts, residents look ahead—not just to recovery, but to celebrating what makes this place truly special.

  Batteries Backfired in WA Energy Market | Melbourne News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  Western Australia’s massive battery push to ditch fossil fuels just hit a snag—those same batteries caused electricity prices to triple overnight, baffling experts and raising alarms. Owned by state power company Synergy, the batteries didn’t just fail to stabilize the grid; they actively spiked demand at a time when prices were already soaring—and lost money in the process. Now, with batteries controlling over 90% of energy market pricing, concerns grow that companies could game the system to profit from other energy sources. As WA bets big on batteries to power its renewable future, how they’re managed will determine whether they truly lower costs—or just create new headaches.
