EXCLUSIVE Designer-loving quadriplegic living off the NDIS 'claims to be a KING in his homeland'. The reality is very different - and now he's accused of doing unspeakable acts to his carers
A quadriplegic, designer-clad immigrant on 24-hour NDIS care at his million-dollar waterfront unit has been charged with multiple counts of molesting his female carers. Sohail Aleem Qureshi faces seven charges of sexual assault at his home on the Gold Coast 's Hope Island where he stockpiles expensive Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren goods. Queensland Police have also charged him with one count of fraud, dishonestly gaining benefit/advantage and one of common assault. Despite his disability, Qureshi is accused of assaulting female NDIS contractors during their shifts. Qureshi's condition is described as an 'incomplete quadriplegic' and he retains some restricted movement in his limbs that allows him to still stand unsteadily. While Qureshi was said to have swollen feet and ankles, he required the care workers to 'massage his groin [to help his circulation] because he sits for long times'. Qureshi bragged to his carers that he was a 'very important person' and 'a king of Pakistan' who had 'lots of money and luxury cars, including a Lamborghini', they told Daily Mail Australia. However, Daily Mail Australia understands he is actually a former taxi driver in the US, where he previously lived, and still speaks with an American accent. His charges relate to alleged incidents going back to 2002, after his US-based wife Josephine recruited NDIS workers to care for him at the Gold Coast apartment. The workers made contact with Ms Qureshi via online hiring platforms and were interviewed by her over Skype from her home in Chicago while they attended his unit in person. A female international student revealed Qureshi's wife also boasted about their past moneyed lifestyle, and described her husband's 'cool, expensive wheelchair'. 'Qureshi said he was very rich and had led a rich life in New York,' she said. The carers revealed Qureshi said how much he hated Australia, but loved the NDIS funding he was being given. It is believed Qureshi was disabled by a fall in Brisbane more than four years ago which injured his spine. He started to learn to walk again while receiving NDIS round-the-clock care. 'He told me that Australia is a "s*** country" and that he "can't wait to leave this country",' said one. 'But "the NDIS gives you this funding and 24/7 care and where do you get that?",' she added. One alleged victim claimed the NDIS recipient could move reasonably freely even with his condition, which causes a degree of weakness or paralysis in all four limbs. Despite Qureshi's bragging about his wealthy background, three of his carers told Daily Mail Australia they didn't get paid for their shifts. They say they were told their work hadn't been up to par, they were too inexperienced, and said that the way the NDIS is set up allows for this to happen. Another former NDIS worker, who helped look after Qureshi in 2021, said she got an angry reaction when she complained about not getting paid. She said she found him 'very passive-aggressive' and said the NDIS did nothing to ensure payment, except to the person on the scheme. 'When I didn't get paid, he intimated that it was kind of my fault,' said one carer. 'The problem is the NDIS allows for you not to be paid, so I was owed about $1000 and never go it.' A male worker said Qureshi told him that 'he didn't like certain people among the support workers who came there'. Sohail Qureshi lives on the NDIS in a $1million apartment on the Gold Coast where young female support workers have alleged he sexually assaulted them, while also claiming to be rich and 'a king' Qureshi declined to comment to Daily Mail Australia on the allegations. The NDIS told Daily Mail Australia the safety of carers was a priority. But it admitted the NDIS cannot help if a worker doesn't get paid and must pursue it through the Commonwealth Ombudsman. 'Worker safety and wellbeing is a key part of delivering quality and safe supports to NDIS participants,' it added in a statement 'NDIS workers have the right to feel safe when they are at work. 'NDIS providers are responsible for providing safe workplaces. This includes identifying and managing risks to worker safety and wellbeing, such as worker-related violence. 'Our regulatory arrangements work alongside other legal requirements that apply to NDIS providers, such as the regulation of workplace matters. 'The NDIS Commission works closely with other regulators and bodies where matters relate to workplace laws and disability support worker issues, both at a systemic and individual worker level.'

EXCLUSIVE Gruesome new details emerge of the horrific injuries teenage boy suffered in a terrifying shark attack - as hero rescuer reveals how young surfer was savaged as he tried to fight it off
One of the heroes who raced to the aid of a teenage boy savagely mauled in a shark attack has revealed the horrific scene they found as they pulled him from the surf. The 16-year-old had his arm almost ripped off by the two-metre shark as he surfed at Cabarita Beach on the NSW far north coast near Byron Bay on Sunday afternoon. Brazilian Thiago Collel has revealed how he raced down to the shoreline to help after he heard the youngster's screams when the suspected bull shark attacked. But as rescuers tried to pull him to safety, the shark followed the injured teenager into the shallows to continue its attack until one rescuer punched it and it finally swam off. Mr Collel, who had been watching a seal in the water nearby, revealed the shocking extent of the boy's gruesome injuries that left his arm dangling by a thread of sinew. 'When I got to the shore, he had been dragged in by a group of people including an off-duty paramedic who happened to be walking on the beach at the time,' he said. 'His bicep was destroyed - you could see all the muscle, flesh and bone,' he said. 'He lost a scary amount of blood. I was covered in it.' Mr Collel, 39, said they took the teenager to a nearby car park where the off-duty paramedic applied a tourniquet to stem the bleeding and saved the teen's life. The volunteer surf lifesaver at nearby Rainbow Bay said his training immediately kicked in during the life-threatening emergency. 'We were just trying to keep him calm, holding his head and making sure he was okay,' he added. 'I just kept talking to him and he told me how he fought off the shark by kicking and punching it away. 'It was full-on but wasn't so scary because I think I knew what to do and was so focused on making sure he was stable.' The boy suffered injuries to his right upper arm, wrist and right leg, with rescuers stalked by the creature as they tried to carry him out of the water. A video of the moments after the attack shows another brave rescuer racing into the water and punching the shark as other beachgoers fled. 'Oh my God, that's the shark,' a shocked onlooker was filmed screaming in the clip. A female added: 'Oh f***. That's really scary!' A surfboard was used as a makeshift stretcher to carry the teen to safety. The teen was airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, where he remains in a serious but stable condition. Mr Collel, who has lived in Australia for several years, said he hoped to be reunited with the shark survivor once he is in a stable condition. 'I would like to go visit him in hospital in the coming days,' he added. 'He should be proud of how calm and strong he remained throughout it all - he was covered in lacerations to his arms and legs.' NSW paramedic Ben Mumford praised the brave bystanders who rushed to the boy's aid. 'There were a few brave people in the water that helped him out of the water,' Mr Mumford said. 'There was also a couple of off-duty paramedics on the scene that assisted him until we arrived.' A second helicopter was deployed to locate the shark, but the aerial search was unsuccessful. The species of shark involved remains unknown, but locals believe it was a bull shark, although some feared it was a two-metre great white. NSW Shark Smart had tagged and released a tiger shark at the same beach three days earlier. Yesterday's incident has rattled locals, who have been urged to stay out of the water. Cabarita Beach will remain closed for 24 hours. In 2020, locals were 'traumatised' after a surfer was forced to boot a 'four-metre shark' as it took a bite from his board off the Tweed Coast. Terrified witnesses saw 'hardcore splashing' as up to 30 surfers raced out of the water after the man tried to flee as the shark left what appeared to be a tooth embedded in his foilboard off Cabarita's Headland.

Indigenous inmate complained about being bitten by a spider before dying just days away from his release
An Indigenous inmate has died just days before his release after he told prison staff he had been bitten by a spider. Aboriginal man, Wayne Green, 41, was bitten inside Parklea Correctional Centre in Sydney and, two weeks later, died in Westmead Hospital about 9.55pm on Friday. He received medical treatment after alerting staff to symptoms of severe chest pain. Mr Green was first treated by St Vincent hospital staff, the private health provider inside the Sydney prison, and was subsequently transferred to Westmead Hospital when his condition deteriorated. A spokesperson for the private operators of the prison, MTC Broadspectrum confirmed the Indigenous inmate died on Friday. 'The man had been transferred from Parklea Correctional Centre to hospital at about 12.55pm for treatment,' they told Daily Mail Australia. 'MTC extends our sympathies to his family, friends and the wider Aboriginal community.' The prison operators are working with Corrective Services NSW and NSW Police 'who investigate all deaths in custody regardless of the circumstances'. Medical staff were told about the spider bite on Friday after treating the inmate for chest pain, according to The Daily Telegraph. It's understood the spider bite may have happened two weeks prior to Mr Green's death. Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology reports before a cause of death can be confirmed. Mr Green was due to be released from Parklea on July 11. The MTC spokesperson revealed a 'protest' broke out at the prison on Saturday following the Aboriginal man's death. 'About 9.00am on Saturday, June 28, in response to the death, a group of inmates conducted a peaceful protest in an accommodation unit,' they said. 'After a period of negotiation, the majority of inmates were voluntarily secured in their cells. A small number of inmate representatives then spoke with centre management. 'At about 12.30pm, inmates were released from their cells, and normal routine recommenced. 'There were no injuries to staff or inmates during the incident, and nothing was damaged.' Mr Green's death will be subject to a coronial inquest.
