1. Three Adelaide kids found safe and well
Three young South Australian siblings — Ethan and Jayden Lawson and Sienna Dodd — have been found safe and well after a two-day search.
Ethan, 12, Jayden, 10, and Sienna, 6, had last been seen when they were dropped off football training on Wednesday night, Nine News reports.
Following an extensive search by police, they have been found and placed with “appropriate authorities”, superintendent Ian Parrot said on Friday.
“A man has been detained by police at this time for breaching his bail, but importantly the children are safe and well,” he added.
Police said yesterday they believed the children were with their father, Dylan Lawson, and their mother Shantelle, Guardian Australia reports.
It remains unclear exactly where the children were during the two days they were missing, however.

2. ALP and Libs tied in latest poll
The latest pre-election poll has found the Liberal Party and the Australian Labor Party are still tied on 50% of the two-party preferred vote, according to Guardian Australia.
The poll of more than 2,000 voters showed no change in the two-party preferred vote. It also revealed little change in the primary vote.

#7 why is she a sex worker? She is a murdered woman irrespective of what she did for a living
Agree! Her life is not defined by her work and she certainly deserves respect. How about a young woman was brutally murdered?
Why is it a she? Surely she is just a murdered human being regardless of her sex?
'But Gittany’s barrister Stephen Odgers SC argued yesterday at the NSW Court of Appeal that Rathmell’s memory of the incident was “unreliable,"' BECAUSE....???
I was wondering what reason that scumbag was going to come up with. Pretty flimsy to me.
We had a good laugh in my criminal law class that Gittany chose a judge not a jury - it's a lot harder to appeal as a lot less room for error on a point of law with a judge. The Judge did a very tight and thorough judgement. I sincerely hope it fails.
And irony of ironies - the new girlfriend was in that lecture, I don't think the lecturer realised as we all had a laugh!
