 3. Daycare loses toddler who nearly gets hit by a car

A West Australian daycare centre has lost an 18-month old boy who was then nearly hit by a car as he wandered in a nearby car park.

WA today reports that a couple, Leeanne and Mark Anderson were leaving the centre about 11am on Wednesday when a young boy stepped in front of their vehicle and they slammed on the brakes.

When they brought the child back inside the centre and asked the crèche staff members if they knew where his parents were, he was identified as a child under their care.

Mrs Anderson said it seemed that the carers were not aware the child had been missing.

“I’m absolutely horrified – my three-month-old baby was in their care yesterday but I will never use the crèche again,” she said.

“What if someone had just walked up and taken my baby’s pram out the door and they didn’t even know about it?

“I can’t believe they have let this happen – the standard of supervision is obviously not good enough.”

City of Bunbury chief executive officer Andrew Brien said the crèche coordinator reported the event immediately to management.

Mr Brien said there were two pool-gate style doors to enter the crèche and although signage is posted reminding everyone to look under their feet and ensure gates are closed, at times both gates are held open as prams enter.

He said the boy escaped while both gates were open.

“All incidents at the centre with the potential to cause injury are treated seriously and steps taken to remove and reduce hazards leading to the event,” Mr Brien said.

5. Cabinet reshuffle likely before next election

By Eliza Borrello

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has entertained the idea of a Cabinet reshuffle, in an interview with the ABC’s 7.30 program.

It comes as Labor applies more pressure on Mr Abbott to sack his Defence Minister David Johnston following allegations the minister and his chief of staff spent thousands of dollars on meals and wine for industry players, who were seeking government contracts.

An investigation is now underway by the Defence Department into the leaking of Senator Johnston’s hospitality receipts.

Asked in the interview whether it was time to change his frontbench line-up Mr Abbott said, “At some stage between now and the next election, quite probably, but this is a good frontbench”.

Earlier on Thursday during Question Time Mr Abbott refused to confirm whether Senator Johnston would still be the Defence Minister next year.

“He [Senator Johnston] has my full confidence, he deserves the full confidence of this Parliament,” Mr Abbott said.

During his 7.30 interview Mr Abbott went on to sing the praises of other Cabinet ministers including Julie Bishop, Scott Morrison and Mathias Cormann.

“Scott Morrison has stopped the boats, everyone thought that couldn’t be done,” he said.

“Julie Bishop has had a stellar year as Foreign Minister.

“Mathias Cormann has been an outstanding Finance Minister, done magnificent work, unsung work negotiating with the crossbench in the Senate.”

Mr Abbott also praised his Treasurer Joe Hockey.

“Joe Hockey has been criticised lately, but I tell you what, I think Joe is going to be one of the great treasurers because he’s someone who bounces back and that’s what he’s doing now,” he said.
