Services across the country for National Police Remembrance Day on Friday will honour police force members who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty, including the two young officers killed at the fatal Wieambilla shooting in December.
At the 2023 commemoration, constables Rachel McCrow, Matthew Arnold and Anthony Woods will be remembered with touchstones added to the National Police Memorial Wall.
“Outside of work, they were loyal friends, full of laughter, a devoted daughter and dedicated son – they impacted the lives of everyone around them,” the statement read. Separately, the life of Western Australia Police Force Constable Anthony Woods, who was killed in June this year as a result of injuries he sustained during an arrest, will also be commemorated.

Senate Chair Bridget McKenzie was clearly upset Qantas did not provide a detailed submission when other airlines, including Virgin and Rex, did.

Ms McKenzie asked Mr Goyder about the percentage of Qantas’ former CEO Alan Joyce’s bonus that was withheld – Qantas then had to take questions on notice, which “frustrated” Ms McKenzie, according to Mr Boyd. The inquiry included a fiery exchange between Labor Senator Tony Sheldon and Mr Goyder over the illegal sacking of ground staff during the pandemic.
