A Supreme Court jury in the WA town of Geraldton heard Prunster attacked the mother-of-four with a serrated kitchen knife in the bedroom of their home in the coastal town of Dongara, 350 kilometres north of Perth. Ms Gibbons, 52, gave evidence via video link about the attack on November 12, 2017, which left her with abdominal injuries and a collapsed lung."As I rolled away I got one in my arm. I don't know how many times he stabbed me in the back."

She told the court she walked, bleeding, to her adult son's bedroom and a neighbour took her to the local medical centre.

Snowy 2.0 gets $1.38 billion and approval for initial work to beginThe Government says the business case stacks up and has given Snowy Hydro permission to proceed to the early works stage along with a commitment of up to $1.36 billion for the project. 🐸🔨✅ That's about 8 or 9 Tesla big batteries, which can be built in more places, far closer to the demand, much sooner, and isn't as big a strategic target which can be taken out in one bombardment.
