Dovetail lawyer sues start-up and founder over ‘personal relationship’
Brushing aside earlier vow, Biden pardons son
The first indicator was the sudden appearance of a farmers’ market a few years ago. But when Pilates studios and small free libraries started popping up in my suburb of Beaconsfield recently, I knew the gentrification was well under way. You know where you live is upscaling when hipster husbands happily fill crocheted shopping bags with overpriced organic produce while munching on homemade kale cookies. My working-class hamlet’s upward trajectory was assured once designer dogs started to replace the marauding mutts.

Credit: Fremantle Farmers' Market Beaconsfield is only a short bike ride to the South Fremantle cafe strip, South Beach and the port city, so it was just a matter of time before it shed its blue-collar charm. When we first moved into the 6162 postcode more than 16 years ago, there wasn’t a single McMansion in the street. Now our quaint, ramshackle 1960s cottage has slowly been dwarfed by shiny, two-storey, white boxes. Thankfully several lush gum trees, home to quirky birdlife, have avoided the chop. While some of the new abodes are architecturally uninspiring, the revamp has brought something wonderfully unexpected: a tranquillity and quietness that is oddly comforting. However, lurking just beneath this harmonious narrative of urban life is the dangerous new weapon of surveillance technology. Home owners want their gentrified space kept safe, so every house appears to be fitted with CCTV cameras and “smart” video doorbells. I’m reluctant to stroll to the letterbox in my elephant undies or mix up my recyclables with household waste, fearing some upbeat digital native will expose me on TikTok as a biosphere-destroying boomer. Sometimes when a place goes through a dramatic spruce-up there can be a beige homogeneity. But there are still shops run by several European families that migrated to the area post World War II. The local independent grocer, the Grocer and the Chef, serves up the most scrumptious continental rolls anywhere in WA. Whatever apocalypse befalls humanity, this eatery will be the first place raided. The newly opened Beaconsfield Wine Bar has further elevated the rundown shopping strip. The community was clearly craving a boutique watering hole with a tantalising selection of vino, beer and cocktails, combined with zesty, tapas-sized portions of Parisian-inspired delicacies, because the joint is always packed.

Credit: Brendan Foster It wasn’t that long ago the suburb was dubbed “Beacy Bronx” because of the ongoing antisocial behaviour in one of WA’s last remaining public housing precincts, Davis Park, but there are many places a good deal more terrifying and nasty and anyway, the public housing estate has since been bulldozed to make way for affordable homes and a retail hub. Ironically, Davis Park will form part of the Heart of Beaconsfield masterplan, along with the former South Fremantle TAFE site and Lefroy Road quarry. It will undoubtedly follow the script of urban intensification and send house prices through the roof. Not that the suburb needs a leg up after recently joining the $1 million club.

Credit: Brendan Foster Although given the median house price in Perth is now just a tick under $900,000, according to Domain , Beaconsfield isn’t part of some selective sorority. Sadly, the musicians, artists and colourful characters who gave the area grittiness and style are being displaced because of the skyrocketing prices. I am not advocating some proletarian uprising against the gentrifiers who have no hankering to rip the heart and soul out of the place. I understand the pull of the suburb for young families given the array of parks, schools and shops. Although any Millennials who giddily tell me which Hogwarts house they belong to will get poked in the eye with their Harry Potter wands. Loading Beaconsfield hasn’t totally shaken its shabbiness. You can still hire a truck, get a tattoo, and risk toxic shock syndrome via a two-day-old pie from one of the local delis. Despite the urban renewal, there is a strong egalitarian sensibility about the suburb, which I find appealing. You get the sense people would have your back. A few years ago, the NAB Charitable Giving Index named Beaconsfield WA’s most charitable postcode, even though the weekly wage was seven per cent below the state’s average, and noted the strong community spirit in the area. This is very admirable considering our household members dive under the couch when we hear the rattling of a collection tin. Not everyone benefits from gentrification, but I have no desire to be trapped in a neighbourhood frozen in time, where the only cup of coffee I can get is from the local servo. And the glacial rebirth of Beacy has morphed it into a walkable suburb. Coffee, food and booze are only a stroll away. Surely, that’s the Holy Trinity of a village life.

Syrian government forces withdraw from central city of Homs as insurgent offensive accelerates BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian opposition war monitor and a pro-government media outlet say government forces have withdrawn from much of the central city of Homs. The pro-government Sham FM reported that government forces took positions outside Syria’s third-largest city, without elaborating. Rami Abdurrahman who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it. Losing Homs is a potentially crippling blow for Syria’s embattled leader, Bashar Assad. An archbishop's knock formally restores Notre Dame to life as winds howl and heads of state look on PARIS (AP) — France’s iconic Notre Dame Cathedral has formally reopened its doors for the first time since a devastating fire nearly destroyed the 861-year-old landmark in 2019. The five-year restoration is widely seen as a boost for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline, and brings a welcome respite from his domestic political woes. World leaders, dignitaries, and worshippers gathered on Saturday evening for the celebrations under the cathedral's soaring arches. The celebration was attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ Trump is welcomed by Macron to Paris with presidential pomp and joined by Zelenskyy for their talks PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron has welcomed Donald Trump to Paris with a full dose of presidential pomp. And they held a hastically-arranged meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy on a day that's mixing pageantry with attention to pressing global problems. The president-elect's visit to France is part of a global a celebration of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral five years after a devastating fire. Macron and other European leaders are trying to win Trump’s favor and persuade him to maintain support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion. Trump isn't back in office but he's already pushing his agenda and negotiating with world leaders NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is making threats, traveling abroad, and negotiating with world leaders. He has more than a month-and-a-half to go before he’s sworn in for a second term. But the president-elect is already moving aggressively to not only fill his Cabinet and outline policy goals, but also to try to achieve his priorities. In recent days, Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, two of the country’s largest trading partners. That led to emergency calls and a visit. And he's warned of “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas doesn't release the hostages still being held captive in Gaza. South Korea's president avoids an impeachment attempt over short-lived martial law SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol has avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law. Most of Yoon's ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea. A survey suggests a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party. But the party also apparently fears losing the presidency to liberals. Days after gunman killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO, police push to ID him and FBI offers reward NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing. But they have made some progress in their investigation into Wednesday's killing of the leader of the largest U.S. health insurer, including that the gunman likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene. The also found that the gunman left something behind: a backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Police are working with the FBI, which on Friday night announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. UnitedHealthcare CEO's shooting opens a door for many to vent frustrations over insurance The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO has opened the door for many people to vent their frustrations and anger over the insurance industry. The feelings of exasperation, anger, resentment, and helplessness toward insurers aren’t new. But the shooting and the headlines around it have unleashed a new wave of patients sharing such sentiments and personal stories of interactions with insurance companies. Conversations at dinner tables, office water coolers, social gatherings and on social media have pivoted to the topic. Many say they hope the new amplified voices can bring about change for companies often accused of valuing profits over people. 2 Pearl Harbor survivors, ages 104 and 102, return to Hawaii to honor those killed in 1941 attack PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — The bombing of Pearl Harbor 83 years ago launched the United States into World War II. Two survivors returned to the Hawaii military base on Saturday for a remembrance ceremony on the attack's anniversary. Both are over 100 years old. They joined active-duty troops, veterans and members of the public for an observance hosted by the Navy and the National Park Service. A third survivor was planning to join them but had to cancel due to health issues. The bombing killed more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen. An explosion destroys an apartment block in a Dutch city, killing at least 3 and injuring others THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An explosion and fire has rocked a neighborhood in the Dutch city of The Hague, killing three people and injuring other people and destroying several apartments. The cause of the disaster is unclear. Emergency authorities said four people were rescued from the rubble and taken to the hospital. The mayor said rescuers were no longer looking for survivors but for eventual bodies, but could not specify how many people might still be unaccounted for. Residents of the northeastern neighborhood of Mariahoeve in The Hague heard a huge bang and screams before dawn. Dutch authorities have deployed a specialized urban search and rescue team to find victims. How 'Mufasa' rose with Aaron Pierre and Blue Ivy's voices along with new Lin-Manuel Miranda music SAN DIEGO (AP) — When Aaron Pierre was cast as Mufasa, the weight of following in the late James Earl Jones’ legendary footsteps was enough to rattle any actor. But instead of letting the pressure roar too loudly, he harnessed his nerves to breathe fresh life into his young lion character. Pierre found parallels between himself and his character while filming his leading role in “Mufasa: The Lion King,” which opens in theaters Dec. 20. He took the reigns as the new voice of Mufasa after Jones played the iconic King Mufasa in both the 1994 and 2019 versions of Disney’s “The Lion King.” The prequel offers a fresh exploration into Mufasa’s origin story.
