Emergency services were called to Driftway Drive at Pemulwuy about 10.45pm on Thursday after a man was stabbed several times.

His ute then came to a stop half a kilometre down the road and he died in the driver’s seat.

Police have confirmed the victim and location were known to them.

‘That will form part of our investigation,’ Detective Superintendent Simon Glasser said.

‘He’s not well-known to police.’

Police are yet to determine whether the stabbing is linked to gangland or organised crime.

‘It’s early in the investigation, however, we’ll be certainly looking to see if that is the case,’ Supt Glasser said.

Detectives remain at the two crime scenes on Friday doorknocking residents.

Shocked neighbours recalled hearing frantic screams and the screeching of tyres at the time of the stabing.

‘This is serious high level violence which we can’t tolerate,’ Supt Glasser said.

A Grafton man, 34, faces 20 charges including cattle theft and obtaining financial advantage after allegedly stealing more than 100 cattle from his employer.

A vet allegedly contacted by the man also faces animal cruelty charges for failing to provide treatment to some of his cattle.

The cattleman was asked by his boss to sell 200 breeding cattle, but instead is accused of arranging to sell 114 of the animals, including 45 valuable fullblood wagyu cows, to himself.

Police say the deceptive sale led to a discount of almost $100,000 after the man bought the herd through a third-party at a greatly reduced price.

A search warrant connected to the theft allegedly uncovered a liquid nitrogen storage tank containing bull semen stolen from the employer, worth another $100,000.

Embryos for breeding were also part of the alleged haul.

After his property was searched, police allegedly told the 34-year-old to seek treatment from a veterinarian for six wagyu bulls.

He was bailed to appear at Grafton Local Court on August 11.

‘We’ve increased it by $57 billion over the medium term and by more than $10 billion in the short term, as well.’

Albanese was repeatedly asked if he was concerned that Australia could be threatened with tariffs by the US after his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez opted out of the Nato defence spending pledge.

‘I’m not going to comment on things between Spain and the United States,’ he said.

‘What my job is to look after Australia’s national interest, that includes our defence and security interests and that’s precisely what we are doing.’

Ten passengers and eight crew members from a luxury cruise have been rescued from a remote uninhabited island off the Australian mainland.

Earlier, 60 other passengers made it to safety after they were forced to abandon zodiac boats grounded off Adele Island about 100 kilometres north of the West Australian mainland.

The passengers and guides from Silversea’s Silver Cloud ship were taking part in an expedition tour near the island on Thursday when a fast moving tide caught the group by surprise.

They were stranded in knee-deep water about four nautical miles from the ship.

About 70 passengers and 10 guides were forced to wade 500 metres through a coral reef to deeper water where they were met by a flotilla of zodiac vessels sent from the ship to rescue them.

By sunset, most had been rescued and returned to the Silver Cloud where some were treated for minor cuts and abrasions.

The remaining passengers and crew were stranded in darkness for more than four hours while their zodiac vessels were unable to cross an exposed reef until the tide turned about 10pm.

The Silver Cloud has set sail for Talbot Bay to continue its 12 day cruise of the Kimberley region.
