Well...

I have heard Donald Trump say that they're very close.

For some time.

Billy, I could say a lot about that, but I'll leave it at that I think it may make for an awkward Christmas or Thanksgiving in the US this year around the family, the Trump family table.

It's Monday the 25th of May.

Here's what's making headlines this evening.

A coronial hearing in Victoria has heard new details about the deaths of two police officers shot dead by Desi Freeman at his Poropanka property last year.

The officers attended the rural property around 300 kilometres northwest of Melbourne to execute a search warrant over alleged child sexual abuse offences in August.

The coroner's court was told five officers negotiated at length with Freeman before Detective Leading Senior Constable Neil Thompson was shot in the face and neck climbing through a window...

and Senior Constable Vadim Devart Hotart was shot as colleagues fled for cover.

Freeman then returned to the scene and wounded a third officer before fleeing and texting his wife to do the same.

He was shot dead by police near the Victoria-New South Wales border on the 30th of March, ending one of Australia's largest manhunts.

And today's good news.

The population of platypuses reintroduced to native parklands in Sydney's south has grown to 20 known individuals.
