‘Helpless': Aussie teen cannoli chef battling Meta over Instagram ban

An Aussie teenage pastry chef, who relies on Instagram for his successful cannoli business, is battling with Meta after his Instagram page was banned with 'no warning' while he's studying for the HSC. Zufi Abdul, 18, said he feels 'helpless' after his 'Cannoli Boss' page, which reportedly boasted over 140,000 followers, was closed by the social media giant on July 11. The Year 12 student, who is currently studying for his HSC trials next month, was told a video he shared to the platform had breached community guidelines relating to child abuse and nudity – a claim he denies. In the 16-second video, which was also shared to TikTok, the teenager can be seen jumping around with his head in his hands, while the caption reads: 'My mum yelling 'Zufi! Go Do York Work'. It then cuts to clips of Mr Abdul buying ingredients, showing off his various cannoli creations and talking to customers at a store. 'Okay … I'll do my work … Cannoli hustling, not schoolwork,' he captioned the video. TikTok has seemingly taken no issue with the video, which has not been removed from the social media platform since it was posted on July 8. But Mr Abdul, who fell in love with cooking during lockdown, has been left confused as to why it was unexpectedly removed from Instagram. 'There was no warning, I was straight-up banned,' he told 7News. 'I knew I definitely didn't do anything wrong,' he added. 'I feel like my reputation is absolutely shattered.' When he appealed the decision, he claims he was 'told by them to seek legal counsel if I wasn't happy with their decision and wanted to take it further'. The 18-year-old had also visited Meta's Australian headquarters in Sydney to try and solve the issue, 7News reports. Mr Abdul said he is working to track down customers to reimburse them for orders he can no longer fulfil. 'I feel helpless,' he added. 'I rely on Instagram.' He is hoping Meta will reinstate his account and issue an apology.

Outback Wrangler Matt Wright: NT Supreme Court trial faces delay

A celebrity croc wrangler and reality television star will have to wait another week before facing the jury for his high-profile crash conspiracy trial. On Wednesday, Matt Wright was told his jury would only be selected next Tuesday, six days after his NT Supreme Court trial was anticipated to begin. The 45-year-old Netflix reality television star of Outback Wrangler has pleaded not guilty to three allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice following the death of his co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson three years ago. The 34-year-old father was killed after his helicopter crashed into a paperbark swamp at the King River in Arnhem Land on February 28, 2022.

Picture: Pema Tamang Pakhrin Mr Wilson was dangling in a sling from a Robinson R44 during a crocodile egg collecting mission when the chopper went down, killing him and critically injuring his 28-year-old pilot Sebastian Robinson. It is alleged that on three occasions over a seven month period Mr Wright attempted to compromise the investigation into the chopper crash. Mr Wright entered his pleas on Monday, but has faced repeated delays to start the four-week trial due to ongoing legal arguments On Wednesday, Justice Alan Blow said he did not want a jury to be selected, only for them to be left waiting over the Territory Picnic Day long weekend. 'We're not going to be ready to empanel the jury tomorrow,' Justice Blow said. 'If we are ready to empanel them on Friday, I don't want to because I don't want them to hear opening speeches and then go away for a three-day weekend.' He said he would advise the Supreme Court staff that the jury pool — which is expected to include hundreds of Territorians — would have to be called on Tuesday, August 5. Both prosecution and defence teams agreed with the decision to delay the hearing. Zizi Averill Journalist Zizi Averill is the police and crime reporter for the NT News, based up in Darwin.

Alleged Miznon restaurant protester Antwany Arnold refused bail

Footage of pro-Palestine protesters demonstrating outside an Israeli restaurant has been released as one alleged protester was refused bail. Antwany Arnold, 50, is alleged to have committed assault, affray, riotous behaviour and criminal damage after allegedly throwing food and chairs outside Miznon restaurant on Hardware Lane on July 4. Mr Arnold, who was described in court as a 'familiar face' in Melbourne's pro-Palestinian protest movement, returned to the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday as magistrate Michelle Mykytowycz refused to grant him bail. The accused man reacted by clapping his hands in a slow exaggerated manner as he beamed in to court from the Metropolitan Remand Centre. A protester, alleged by police to be Antwany Arnold, is caught on camera throwing chairs outside Miznon restaurant on July 4, 2025. Picture: Supplied/ Magistrates' Court of Victoria. Handing down her decision, Ms Mykytowycz found Mr Arnold represented a 'real and ongoing risk' to the welfare of the community, noting he had a history of not complying with bail conditions. She said the father-of-five had already allegedly breached his bail conditions 'more than once' by attending a protest in the CBD, and she was not satisfied that he would follow bail conditions. Antwany Arnold was arrested on July 8 alongside two women. Picture: Victoria Police. The court was told the accused man had been arrested on July 8 over his alleged involvement in a protest outside the Israeli restaurant, which was targeted by 12 to 15 protesters in the evening of July 4. In CCTV of the incident, played in court last week, protesters gathered in the outdoor dining area, chanting slogans including 'death, death to the IDF', 'out, out, Israel out' and 'Israel is a terrorist state'. Ms Mykytowycz told the court it was alleged Mr Arnold was the person chanting on a microphone at the rear of the group and threw cauliflower and upturned chairs and tables after patrons had left. A glass door at Miznon was damaged. Picture: NewsWire / Nadir Kinani At one point footage allegedly showed a second protester sticking their finger in a diner's food, 'a frankly repugnant act', Ms Mykytowycz said. 'You risk alienating the very community amongst which you wish to be heard – arguably you already have,' Ms Mykytowycz said. 'Ultimately, a court will be required in each instance to assess the general character of your utterances and behaviour. This will also include an assessment of whether your behaviour on each occasion constitutes a lawful protest.' He was supported in court by other activists. Picture: NewsWire / Diego Fedele During a hearing last week, Mr Arnold's lawyer Tim Hutton told the court that his client had a long history of involvement in the pro-Palestinian protest movement in Melbourne. He said the alleged offending was not driven by anti-Semitism but a 'most passionate condemnation' of the Israel Defence Forces and their actions in Gaza. 'It is a condemnation of the atrocities and war crimes they've committed,' Mr Hutton said. 'That chant is not specifically calling for the murder of individual IDF soldiers but calling for the end of that organisation.' Mr Hutton flagged that the head charge of affray would be contested. Mr Arnold was remanded into custody and will return to court next month.
