A Belgian tourist feared lost in the Tasmanian wilderness told her family not to worry if she didn't contact them for several days because she was travelling in an area with limited phone reception, her sister says. Celine Cremer — who has been living in Tasmania since the start of the year — set off on a solo road trip earlier this month, with aim of travelling by ferry to Melbourne on June 21.
But she failed to board the Spirit of Tasmania, and as the days ticked by her family became increasingly concerned, reporting her missing on June 26. "We started to be worried last week because we sent her messages and [didn't] have a response," her 26-year-old sister Amelie said.The following day, her white Honda CRV was found at a car park near Philosopher Falls in the state's north-west — where authorities have been focusing their search efforts.Police believe her car was at the falls since at least June 20 — the same day her mobile phone sent its last signal.

Labor MPs ‘break rank’ on government’s 60-day prescriptions policyTwo Labor MPs have broken ranks on the Albanese government’s 60-day prescriptions policy, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. “Government backbenchers are increasingly on edge, even to the point of an out revolt by some who don't think the Health Minister Mark Butler has really thought this through and they want action,” she said.
