To deter theft, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) should consider requiring airport security personnel to wear body cameras as they give passengers a pat-down or check their luggage. A lawmaker made the drastic suggestion following recent complaints of theft that again tainted the image of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia). Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto made the call after a Naia security screening officer was arrested for stealing a foreigner's watch. The incident was the second theft to be reported in February, the first involving a female security screening officer who was caught on video taking 20,000 yen in cash from a foreigner.

(New York) –  Thai  authorities should immediately drop charges and release a 15-year-old student activist detained for allegedly defaming the monarchy, Human Rights Watch said today. On March 28, 2023, the police arrested Thanalop 'Yok' Phalanchai in Bangkok and accused her of committing lèse-majesté (insulting the monarchy) offenses for criticizing the monarchy during a rally in October 2022 in front of the Bangkok City Hall. At the rally, protesters called for the release of political detainees and for the abolition of royal defamation prosecutions.

The caretaker's cottage at Williamstown Mechanics' Institute is going to be restored. I joined my fellow Strand Ward councillors, Peter Hemphill and Pamela Sutton-Legaud, after Council announced that $450,000 had been allocated in Hobsons Bay City Council's 2023/24 budget to refurbish the cottage. The Mechanics Institute and the cottage have been a feature of Williamstown for well over a century. It's so important we celebrate and maintain these wonderful parts of the history of our city. It's good for community morale to see works get underway to have the cottage become a usable space for our community once again.
