The Greens in New South Wales are pushing for a ban on police using sniffer dogs in public spaces. They argue it infringes on privacy. In a separate incident, a five-year-old boy was found dead in a home, allegedly duct-taped into a sleeping bag and blindfolded. Police are looking into the circumstances surrounding the boy's death. Other news includes updates on public safety in the Northern Beaches and Albury Wodonga, as well as a case where a teen's sentence was reduced following an appeal. The reduction reflects ongoing legal reviews.
