Silvey is the author behind a number of popular books, including the Jasper Jones novel.

Silvey was charged by police in January after authorities raided his home and seized electronic devices.

He appeared in Fremantle Local Court in WA this morning to plead guilty to two charges.

The man charged with the murder of Kumunjai Little Baby was scheduled to appear in Alice Springs Local Court via video link today, but a last-minute application meant that Jefferson Lewis was excused from the court appearance.

Lewis has been charged with one count of murder and two other charges that cannot be disclosed for legal reasons.

The prosecutors requested a long adjournment and the case is set to return to court on 30 July.

Heartbreaking new details have emerged about the fatal boating accident near Ballina in northern New South Wales.

Three people were killed, including two volunteers from the local marine rescue crew.

Four others were rescued.

The marine rescue crew was responding to a yacht that was in distress.

Six members of the rescue crew went out before their vessel rolled over.

Four crew were saved and two men aged in their 60s and 70s died.

Ballina Mayor Sharon Caldwalder spoke with the ABC earlier today about when she realised something may be wrong.

A third body has also been located, believed to be the yachtsman who was in distress.

And a settlement has been reached over the high-profile legal fight between US actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

The former co-stars were set to begin a trial in two weeks where both were set to testify.

The legal battle began in 2024 where Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of their film It Ends With Us.
