Donald Trump's Press Secretary fired; Man mauled by dogs in Brisbane's north

President Donald Trump fired White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia on Friday, just five days into her role. According to El Pais English, the dismissal followed a conversation where Trump suggested Zacharia reconsider the position after a difficult first briefing on Monday, noting that the media was treating her unpleasantly.

Japan Today reported that Zacharia was pushed out after less than a week following a series of blunders. El Pais English stated that the decision was influenced by coverage from Fox News, including an interview with Sean Hannity that criticized Zacharia for presenting herself as a lawyer despite never passing the bar exam. Prior to this role, Zacharia served as a Homeland Security spokesperson and a conservative commentator.

In separate news, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald report that a man was injured after being attacked by two dogs at a park in north Brisbane.
