CAIRNS TRAGEDY- 8 CHILDREN DEAD

Some terrible news out of North Queensland, where eight children have been stabbed to death in the Cairns suburb of Manoora.

UPDATE:
It's understood the children were aged between 18 months and 15 years.

Dozens of police have swarmed to a home in Murray Street , and it's believed a 34 year old woman has been taken to hospital with stab wounds.

Police at the scene say the situation is 'well controlled'. they say the woman is stable and is assisting them with their enquiries.

They say it will be some time before they can establish the relationship the victims had. They also say they're unable to say whether the children were members of the same family or not.

Far North Queensland detectives have requested police assistance from Brisbane.

30 DEC 2014 UPDATE: AIR ASIA DISAPPEARANCE

As the search for the missing Air Asia passenger jet enters its third day... it's been revealed a student at Monash University was on board the flight.
Monash Uni student Kevin Soetjipto is believed to be on the missing jet

News Corp's reporting Kevin Alexander Soetjipto had been studying on a student visa, and was due to graduate in 2015.

Soetjipto is originally from Malang in Indonesia, and had been travelling from there to Singapore with his family when the plane disappeared.

The pilots had only just requested a change in flight path due to bad weather, when the plane disappeared completely from radars.

So far, searches have revealed no leads. An Australian search plane had spotted some debris in the Java Sea, but that's been dismissed as nothing to do with the missing plane.

Meantime, investigators are looking into an oil slick to work out whether it's from a boat, or a plane.

A total of 162 people were on board the flight when it disappeared.. including 17 children and 1 infant.

A bikie has been charged after a drug bust on the Gold Coast.

The alleged Hells Angels member has been charged with more than a dozen offences after a raid in Southport.

Superintendent Jim Keogh has exclusively told Southern Cross Austereo police have been monitoring the Enid Street home for about a month and more people are expected to be charged.

"Ironically, while we were raiding the premises, more people came along to buy drugs," said Superintendent Keogh.

SNAP ELECTION?!
Mark it in your diary...

Word is, that's when we'll be heading to the polls for a State election.

There's talk Campbell Newman's gearing up to announce a snap election, sometime today.

The Premier's only just back from holidays... and things are relatively normal (he's been out for his usual run, already), but there's talk he'll head to the Governor's place this morning to sign the papers.

It's officially GAME ON when it comes to the State Election.

Campbell Newman's made a trip up to the Governor's this morning to lock in a poll date of January 31.

Betting agencies are onto it, installing Newman and his LNP as the favourite to lead Queensland 2015 and beyond.

The Premier confirmed the January 31 polling date on Twitter this morning...ironically when Twitter was broken.

Newman, or his media crew, also jumped onto Facebook.
And the Premier fronted media this afternoon...saying he made the call on when we'll vote late Sunday and this poll was the most important in many years.
This is a fantastic state to live and work and raise a family ... but there is much uncertainty around at the moment. Uncertainty in Australia and uncertainty in the world, and it's really important we keep Queensland on track to secure that bright future.

VIDEO OF BABY WITH GUN LEADS TO ARREST
A couple in the US has been arrested, after Police discovered videos of a baby girl playing with a gun.

At one stage, the toddler puts it in her mouth.

Delete Edit Image
Police in Indiana arrested the 19 year old man after he tried to sell a handgun to an undercover officer... they then searched his phone and recovered the video, leading to the arrest of the child's 22 year old mother.

Apparently, the mother told officers the girl was holding a pellet gun; investigators say it was a .40-calibre handgun.

They say the gun's magazine appeared to be removed but it's not clear if ammunition was in the chamber.

Evansville police described the acts as "mind-numbing" and said they had never seen anything like it before

Now, the couple faces charges of child neglect and recklessness with a dangerous weapon.
