This is the latest from your news feed. It's Tuesday, the eleventh of June. A former labor minister has sided with families of COVID victims who feel outraged that Daniel Andrews was given the nation's highest King's birthday honour, as polling shows ninety five percent of people don't think he deserves it. Amid backlash on Monday, the panel tasked with choosing recipients was also forced to clarify that one of its members, who worked under mister Andrews, wasn't in the

room when the controversial ex premiere was chosen. It comes as a poll of thirty three hundred Herald Son readers found ninety five percent don't believe mister Andrews, who presided over deadly COVID errors, was deserving of the honor. Meanwhile, only four in ten people who voted in a poll by the Age thought he deserved it. Premier Stephen Myles said as today's state budget will be the best ever, despite it containing the second largest deficit in a decade.

To help fund a major pre election cash splash, the state government has spent weeks strip feeding major cost of living announcements. But mister Miles said there would still be plenty new for Queenslanders on Tuesday as he stares down worsening Pole results. Mister Miles insists the government's focus has

not been on the election we back after this. South Australia's richest private schools have prime real estate holdings estimated to be worth more than twelve billion dollars, with one located on a vast holding near the CBD valued at nearly three billion dollars. Some are also eagerly buying nearby land to set themselves up for future expansion, but at the same time are pushing up house prices in some

of Adelaide's most pricey suburbs. Saint Peter's College, on the edge of the CBD, has the most valuable landholding among private schools. It is on a thirty two acre in College Park that will be worth two point eighty six billion dollars if developed. And a twelve year old repeat offender with a record of more than eighty charges is back at home after being caught breaking and entering just three days after he had been freed on bail by

the New South Wales Supreme Court. The convicted car thief, burglar and with a history of being involved in police pursuits in the Double Region in the state's west. The juvenile delinquent was granted home detention for a third time after being rearrested on Sunday morning. Local police, already battling massive crime rates in the region as well as staff shortages, believe the court system has left them down. And those

are the latest headlines. We'll be back with another update for you tomorrow.
