The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.6%, marking the fourth interest rate increase this year and reaching a 15-year high. A 13-metre beached whale carcass at City Beach has attracted great white sharks close to shore, prompting authorities to deploy drumlines with the 31-tonne whale drawing thousands of spectators, with some exhibiting dangerous behaviour by climbing on the carcass, prompting authorities to establish an exclusion zone and schedule removal to landfill. A 22-year-old thief who stole spirits from a Dan Murphy's store in Carine was caught after his getaway in a stolen Mazda failed when he couldn't release the handbrake, with tradie Adam Breen, pursuing and performing a citizen's arrest on Daniel Geoffrey Scott, capturing the incident on camera which went viral online.
