D4vd charged, gas tax inquiry + the 'Aussie values' plan

The murder charges against musician D4vd—real name David—have sent shockwaves through the music world, with the Los Angeles District Attorney charging him with first-degree murder, sexual acts with a minor, and body mutilation in connection with the 2025 death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Authorities allege the killing was motivated by a desire to protect his music career after she threatened to expose their relationship. The case, which broke after her body was found in a Tesla registered to him, has drawn intense scrutiny due to the timing—just days before the release of his debut album, Withered. Meanwhile, Australia’s political landscape is roiling over the Coalition’s new migration policy, which proposes social media screening, country-based visa restrictions, and a formal 'Australian values' clause. Migrants from Syria, Iraq, and India express fear and alienation, calling the policy xenophobic and divisive. Labor MP Ed Husic strongly opposes the plan, calling it discriminatory and politically reckless, while championing a 25% tax on uncontracted gas exports—a move backed by polling and cross-party support. Husic argues that Australia has long been shortchanged by multinational gas companies, and that a new tax would fund national resilience. Despite internal government hesitancy, he insists the issue is too urgent to ignore, warning that failure to act risks political irrelevance.
