New details emerge after golf instructor Darren Golsby allegedly tried to mow down couple at Arncliffe, Sydney
A golf instructor accused of trying to ram two strangers with his car after an argument has been slapped with two AVOs since he was granted bail, a court has heard. Darren Peter Golsby, 50, was arrested after allegedly trying to mow down the couple with his black Toyota Kluger as they walked their dog through Riverine Park at Arncliffe, in Sydney's south, on Easter Sunday. The father-of-two was taken into custody and charged with seven offences before being granted bail the following day. Dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a black puffer jacket, Golsby fronted Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday in relation to the alleged road rage incident and the AVO matters. can reveal the two AVOs — which do not relate to the Arncliffe couple — were issued by police in May on the behalf of one of Golsby's male relatives and a woman. Golsby's lawyer told Magistrate Philip Stewart his client had been released from Sutherland Hospital last Wednesday after being admitted for three months to receive treatment. The court heard Golsby's legal team have paid for examinations to be completed, which his lawyer intends to send to a psychiatrist for the purpose of a report. Magistrate Stewart told Golsby's lawyer his client needed to enter a plea as the case has been before the court for three months, but the lawyer said he had not had a chance to discuss the matters with him because he was in hospital. Magistrate Stewart adjourned all of the matters for a week to allow Golsby and his lawyer to have time to speak ahead of entering a plea. Police were initially called to the intersection of West Botany and Spring St, in Arncliffe, about 8.20am on 20 April to reports of predatory driving. A couple told police they were walking their dog, a staffie, on the verge when they heard a car, allegedly being driven by Golsby, loudly revving behind them. Golsby allegedly narrowly missed them as he drove past, sparking an argument between him and the man. The couple then entered Riverine Park, with Golsby allegedly driving into the park and towards the couple several times, forcing them to have to jump out of its path to avoid being hit. Golsby allegedly exited the vehicle at the scene and was arrested by police. The couple were not hurt but their dog was treated for a minor injury sustained during the alleged incident. In relation to the alleged road rage incident, Golsby has been charged with one count of negligent driving, three counts of stalk/intimidate (one count in regards to the woman and two relating to the man), armed with intent (using a car to intimidate), menacing driving, and destroy property (the sporting field grass at Riverine Park). Under his bail conditions, Golsby is banned from entering Riverina golf park or from being 150 metres of it. He must also not be near or contact any members of the prosecution or witnesses and cannot drive or occupy the front seat of a vehicle. At his bail hearing in April, Golsby's legal team said they anticipate he will plead not guilty and he disagrees with the allegations before the court. The court also previously heard he is married and is the sole breadwinner for the family, employed as a fridge salesman and intermittently working as a golf instructor and Uber Eats delivery driver. Golsby is next due before Sutherland Local Court on August 5.

Father and son found guilty of teen's car chase murder
A high-speed chase turned deadly when a father and son caught up to the car they were pursuing and shot a teenager. John Paul Evans, 57, and his son Keith Evans, 31, faced a trial in the NSW Supreme Court after pleading not guilty to the murder of 19-year-old Jesse Thompson in 2017. The jury was told the pair were in a ute speeding through the streets of Wyong, on the NSW Central Coast, in pursuit of a Toyota Kluger. Keith Evans was holding a shotgun that discharged at Mr Thompson, who was sitting in the back seat of the second car when he was struck. The 19-year-old died from his injuries. After deliberating for more than a week, the 12 jurors returned verdicts of guilty for both father and son on Wednesday morning. The men were convicted of murdering Mr Thompson more than eight years after the teenager was killed in what was framed as an act of retribution. The jury was told Keith Evans had assaulted the teenager's friend, Jayke Rodgers, to the point of hospitalisation in the days leading up to the deadly car chase. On the day of the pursuit, Mr Rodgers and some of his friends retaliated by smashing a glass door at the Evans' family home. They later met with more friends at a local park and piled into the Kluger before becoming involved in a car chase with the Evans' ute. One of the key issues for the jurors to consider was whether Keith Evans intended to fire the shotgun, or whether it was an accident. In delivering its guilty verdict, the jury determined he and his father were responsible for Mr Thompson's death. Both men will be sentenced at a later date.

2026 Hyundai Palisade: V6 and diesel to be axed in favour of four-cylinder and hybrid
Details of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade have been uncovered ahead of second-generation large flagship SUV's scheduled Australian arrival in late 2025. The new Palisade had already been confirmed to bring a hybrid powertrain for the first time – replacing the existing 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder – in order to rival the Toyota Kluger, and Hyundai had previously also said a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine was "under study" for Australia. Now Australian government certification documents confirm the next Palisade will offer a full range of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options, powered by both hybrid and non-hybrid 2.5-litre turbo-petrol powertrains. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. No other engines are included in the filing, signalling the end of not only diesel power but also the 3.8-litre petrol V6 from the new Palisade lineup. The Australian Design Rule documents also show the next-generation Palisade, codenamed 'LX3', has again been approved in both seven- and eight-seat interior configurations. Hyundai Australia could not share any details on the new Santa Fe's powertrain options or otherwise when contacted by CarExpert. The Palisade HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) has been granted approval in four model grades – seven-seat front-drive and AWD, and eight-seat FWD and AWD. The Palisade HEV is already on sale in the US, where it's offered in both FWD and AWD layouts, both priced $US1000 ($1537) higher than equivalent petrol-powered versions. In Australia, the HEV is expected to be priced similarly to the existing diesel Palisade, which is currently priced from $70,800 before on-road costs, although Hyundai is currently offering drive-away deals on certain variants. The hybrid system comprises the Hyundai group's 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine (T-GDI) and six-speed torque-convertor automatic transmission, but adds a single electric motor powered by a 1.65kWh lithium-ion battery. US-market Palisade hybrids are rated at 258hp (245kW) and 339lb-ft (460Nm) of torque, and while these figures cannot be directly carried over to Australian vehicles, our Palisade hybrid should still out-muscle the turbo-diesel's 147kW/440Nm outputs. That will also make it more powerful than the 3.8-litre V6 in the current model, which makes 217kW/355Nm and has official combined fuel consumption figures of between 10.8-11.1L/100km. Based on overseas specs, the Palisade HEV will be marginally thirstier than the diesel, with average consumption of 8.8L/100km against the diesel's 8.6-8.8L/100km. The Palisade's non-hybrid 2.5-litre turbo-petrol four – already seen under the bonnet of the Hyundai Sonata N Line in Australia, where it makes 213kW/422Nm – has also been approved in seven and eight-seat Palisade, in both FWD and AWD forms. ADR documents also confirm the second-generation Palisade will be larger than its predecessor in almost every dimension, growing an additional 65mm to 5060mm in length on a 70mm longer (2970mm) wheelbase. Overseas specs show no change in cargo volume or cabin space between petrol and hybrid versions. The cabin is expected to feature a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, plus a more premium look including 'pixel' lighting elements. Further details are expected to be confirmed by Hyundai Australia as the MkII Palisade's Australian arrival – scheduled between October and December this year – draws near.
