Police find pic of kids ‘bound with duct tape'
A 44-year-old man has been charged with multiple offences in Queensland after police found a mobile phone containing an alleged image of two young children bound with duct tape. The man was arrested by detectives from Queensland's Emerald Criminal Investigation Branch following investigations into illegal weapons and illicit drugs on a property in Emerald, 70 kilometres west of Rockhampton, in May. Police found a mobile phone at a property containing an alleged image of two children aged just three years old bound with duct tape. Police allege the man can be seen pointing what appears to be a firearm at the children in the photo. It will also allege the image had been forwarded on to several other people after being taken. The children were known, but not related to the man, police said. Officers identified the children and ensured they were both safe. The 44-year-old has been charged with unlawful possession of category H firearms, dangerous conduct with weapon and two counts of deprivation of liberty. He was given strict bail conditions and is expected to appear in the Emerald Magistrates Court on August 26. It comes as detectives last week arrested and charged a 59-year-old man with supply of dangerous drugs and sexual offences against a child after concerns were raised by concerned community members in a separate unrelated incident in Queensland. Police allege the man provided dangerous drugs and committed sexual offences against a child between June and July 2025. The man has been charged with the grooming of a child under 16 years, rape, supplying dangerous drugs to a minor and breach of bail. He has been remanded in custody to appear in Emerald Magistrates Court on Tuesday. Officer in Charge of Emerald CIB Detective Sergeant Dylan Brook thanked the community members for coming forward to help the victim survivors. 'I would like to thank the community members for having the courage to report the matters to the police and supporting the victim survivors,' Detective Sergeant Brook said. 'The Emerald police are committed to supporting victims of sexual abuse with compassion and work diligently and tirelessly to hold offenders accountable through the court system.'

‘I'll start whacking you, dog': Man abuses woman, passers-by in Cairns CBD
A man has been filmed intimidating and abusing a woman in front of a crowd watching a busker in the Cairns CBD, while also violently lashing out at members of the public who stepped in to intervene. Footage posted to Reddit over the weekend showed the man, wearing a white T-shirt, shorts and a bum bag, threatening the woman in the middle of the busy strip, repeatedly wandering away and back towards her as he hurls abuse. 'Do something and I'll start whacking you, dog,' he says. 'I'll start whacking you, dog. Do something, c**t.' The man intimidatingly pushes his face into the woman's as he continues to threaten her. 'Sir, that's not how you talk to a lady, yeah?' the street performer chimes in over the microphone. An elderly man with his partner man then approaches in an attempt to defuse the situation. 'What the f**k you going to do, dog?' the man yells, pushing the man backwards causing him to drop his phone. 'Do something, c**t!' The busker asks onlookers to get the police as the fracas explodes. The woman prods the man with a bottle, sparking a furious reaction as he begins chasing her. As another member of the public attempts to hold the man back, he turns and strikes him in the side of the head and attempts to start a fight. He then turns his attention back to the woman, following her around the square before kicking and punching her. The man eventually walks away, with a police officer seen arriving a short time later. 'Hey, lady, go straight to the cop shop, just get some help,' the busker tells the woman. 'Yes I do think the police will help you. They're right there. Police, violent individual running that way.' The user who posted the footage said they had provided the video to police. 'If he's willing to behave like this in public, imagine what he is capable of behind closed doors,' one commenter wrote. A Queensland Police spokeswoman told 'Police are aware of this matter and investigations are continuing.'
