Former NSW Police Officer on Trial for Sexual Assault of Three Male Colleagues

Matthew Stephen Cameron, a 33-year-old former NSW Police constable, is on trial in Sydney District Court on 10 charges including nine counts of sexual touching and one count of sexual intercourse without consent involving three younger male colleagues between December 2021 and April 2023. The defence claims all acts were consensual, while the prosecution argues his senior rank and role as gay liaison officer constituted an aggravating factor. Cameron resigned from the force after an investigation began in mid-2023.

Food charity frustrated after Broken Hill council says no land available for homeless camp

Feeding Friends, a food charity in Broken Hill, NSW, sought council land or an unused building to establish homeless services including a food outlet, laundry, and transitional camp, but was told no land is available. Mayor Tom Kennedy stated initial findings show no land, requiring the charity to acquire land independently amid rising demand due to cost-of-living pressures. Legal expert Derwent Coshott noted the lack of a proper legal framework for homelessness in NSW, relying on non-enforcement policies, while charity president Don Barron emphasized the need for three-tier government collaboration to address homelessness affecting families living in cars.
