About 4.30am, a 37-year-old man was walking near the corner of Karda Way and Yongka Road in Hamilton Hill when he was shot in the stomach.

He was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital via ambulance for treatment of serious injuries.

Following extensive inquiries, on Thursday detectives arrested four people.

Here’s what’s making headlines today:

  • In the days leading up to Xi Jinping’s Washington visit, one of the main things on President Donald Trump’s mind was the physical appearance of the White House.

  • After whipping through a couple sudden reversals, stocks ended a shaky day of trading on Wall Street roughly where they began.
  • Britain is engulfed in a new row over asylum seekers after 781 arrived in a single day on small boats in the English Channel, with video footage showing one man leaving a young child in the water in his scramble to board a boat.
  • The head of the NSW police union has rebuked One Nation leader Mike Newman for using frontline officers for “point-scoring”, after he highlighted a recruitment photo of a young Indigenous officer wearing an Aboriginal flag pin to criticise “DEI political positions”.

Good morning all and welcome to Friday’s live blog as we count down to bounce down tomorrow afternoon. We hope you’re wearing purple today for the occasion.

What does 40,000 rowdy Dockers supporters flowing into the usually laid-back port city of Fremantle mean for one of its biggest pubs?

Gage Roads at the A-Shed overlooking the working port has done the math and the estimates are eye watering.

Gage Roads expects to pour 2000 of its Purple Reign pints on Saturday.

Owner Good Drinks Australia’s head of hospitality Miles Hull said they will sell about 1200 serves (or half a tonne) of chips, 1500 pizzas and 7000 pints – 2000 of which they expect will be their Purple Reign beer brewed especially for these finals.
