Drua will be different on Saturday: Harris

Former Swire Shipping Fijian Drua assistant coach who is now part of the Western Force coaching staff, Brad Harris, says the Drua may be hurting from two losses on the road but they’ll surely turn up a different side on Saturday in Lautoka.

Harris who is the Force defense coach, was also an assistant to Simon Raiwalui for the Flying Fijians at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

He says the two recent successive losses for the Drua were against two tough teams.
‘They played two top teams away on the road and a lot of teams have tough results when they play in Auckland and Christchurch so we under no illusion mate when the Drua play at home in Lautoka, Churchill Park, it is going to be a challenge’.

The Great Western Highway, linking Sydney to the state's west, is shut after damage to a 19th-century bridge was discovered.

Over the weekend the eastbound lanes were shut but overnight on Sunday further cracks and movement were identified, forcing the closure of the westbound lanes.

Geotechnical crews remain on the scene conducting assessments and emergency repairs, but the timeline for reopening is unclear.

The main road linking Sydney to western New South Wales has shut after cracks were detected in a bridge built by convicts.

The Great Western Highway is shut in both directions after further safety concerns were identified.

Transport for NSW said crews had been working around the clock carrying out thorough geotechnical assessments at Mitchell's Causeway, also known as the Convict Bridge, after a defect was identified last Thursday.

On Monday morning, cracks were identified in the pavement of the westbound lane and geotechnical monitoring confirmed movement of the road's sub structure.

Transport for NSW deputy secretary road maintenance and resilience Matt Fuller said safety was the priority.

Highway fully closed at Victoria Pass after new defects discovered

UPDATE MARCH 9: Both lanes of the Great Western Highway at Victoria Pass have been closed following the discovery of further defects.

Cracks in the pavement were identified on Sunday night, March 8 and geotechnical monitoring confirmed movement of the road's sub structure.

This means both lanes are now closed between Lithgow and Mount Victoria until further notice, with diversions in place.

Transport for NSW Deputy Secretary Road Maintenance and Resilience Matt Fuller said safety is the priority.

"Following the information received in the early hours of this morning, we have closed both lanes of the highway to ensure safety for the travelling public," Mr Fuller said in a statement on March 9.

Western Power: 563 work laptops worth $1 million stolen over two and half years

More than a million dollars worth of computers belonging to Western Power have been stolen or lost in just two and half years, it has been revealed.

From July 2023 to December last year the agency responsible for the state’s electricity network lost or had stolen 563 computers, laptops and tablets — the equivalent of one for every five employees — raising questions about its ability to manage the security of taxpayer funded electronic equipment.

“If this is the standard at which we’re operating it’s a wonder the government gets by at all,” Shadow Energy Minister Steve Thomas said.

In the same period 198 Western Power-owned mobile phones were reported lost or stolen, costing taxpayers $143,000.

The Gingin shire president says volunteer firefighters are frustrated about the amount of time spent monitoring pole-top fires waiting for Western Power to confirm isolation.

Emergency services are unable to extinguish a pole-top fire until a Western Power worker can travel to the site and confirm power isolation.

WA Local Government Association president Karen Chappel says Western Power and regional councils need to work together to find a better solution.

Regional shires in Western Australia say Western Power's slow response time to pole-top fires is stretching local resources and putting stress on already fatigued volunteer firefighters.

Sam Harper's rapid-fire 76-ball century has laid the foundation for Victoria's strong opening day at the WACA, helping the visitors to 7-338 against Western Australia.

Fresh off the best BBL campaign of his career, Harper blitzed 119 from 109 balls for the ladder-leading Victoria in the Sheffield Shield on Monday morning.

The 29-year-old unleashed an array of cover drives and powerful strikes down the ground as his side made a solid start in a match in which victory would all but book a spot in the Shield final.

One of 2025’s best Western movies is now streaming at home

The Thicket, the acclaimed 2025 Western movie starring Juliette Lewis (Yellowjackets) and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), has been made available to watch at home.

Streaming through the service NOW, the Western thriller is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by cult author Joe R. Lansdale (Cold in July, Hap and Leonard).

In the film, Dinklage plays Reginald Jones, a fierce bounty hunter recruited by a desperate man (Levon Hawke, Blink Twice) to track down a ruthless killer known only as Cutthroat Bill (Lewis).

To carry this out, Jones rallies a band of unlikely heroes, including a “grave-digging ex-slave (Gbenga Akinnagbe, The Wire) and a street-smart woman-for-hire (Leslie Grace, In the Heights)”.
