Overview
- The Australian Human Rights Commission and Disability Discrimination Commissioner Rosemary Kayess called for an urgent coronial inquest to examine systemic factors and deliver justice for Leon and Otis Clune.
- Police are treating the deaths of parents Jarrod Clune and Maiwenna Goasdoue and their sons in their Mosman Park home as a suspected double-murder suicide, with a front-door note instructing that police be called and no weapon reported.
- The teenage boys had autism and significant health challenges, and advocates say recent NDIS changes have made supports harder to access, heightening family distress.
- Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said disability authorities are cooperating with police, while NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister defended reforms, noting rising plan budgets and ongoing consultation on planning changes through 6 March ahead of mid-2026 implementation.
- WA Premier Roger Cook said any inquest decision rests with the coroner, as local MPs pressed for one and a community vigil was held to mourn the family and call for answers.
