Perth mother found dead in bushland, and everything women are talking about today.

Rex Orange County - the British musician whose real name is Alexander O’Connor - has been charged with six counts of sexually assaulting a woman.

As per The Sun, on June 1, the 24-year-old allegedly assaulted the woman twice in London’s West End and then four times the next day, including once in a taxi and on three instances at his home in Notting Hill. The woman is over the age of 16.

O’Connor appeared at Southwark crown court on October 10. He pleaded not guilty to all six charges and was released on unconditional bail.

“Alex is shocked by the allegations, which he denies, and looks forward to clearing his name in court,” a representative for the musician said in a statement. “He is unable to make any further comment because of the ongoing proceedings.”

A provisional trial date has been set for 3 January 2023.

A month after the event in question, the musician announced that he was cancelling his upcoming tours overseas due to “unforeseen personal circumstances”.

“This is the last thing I want to do,” he wrote. “I love touring and I am so sorry to be letting anyone down. I look forward to getting back to it as soon as I can.”

Australia has condemned "disturbing" reports Iranian kids are being arrested on school grounds in response to nationwide protests.

As rallies rage across Iran after the death of 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini, Australia has called out Iranian security forces for their heavy-handed approach.

Amini died while being held by morality police, who'd arrested her for allegedly wearing her headscarf too loosely.

After footage emerged showing security forces attacking protesters with tear gas and live ammunition, Foreign Minister Penny Wong issued a statement condeming the "heavy-handed repression" of protests.

"Particularly disturbing are reports of attacks on children, and the arrests of students on school premises," she said. "Any form of violence is unacceptable, especially against children."

"We continue to support the people of Iran and their right to freedom of expression and equality for women and girls."

Human rights groups estimate at least 185 people have died in the demonstrations, including 19 children.

Senator Wong has backed calls for an independent body to perform a full investigation into Amini's death.

In celebrity news, Lizzo has seemingly hit back at Kanye West's comments about her weight. 

In a recent Fox News interview, the rapper said it's "unhealthy" for people to promote being overwegiht.

"When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots – they attack her for losing weight," West said.

"Because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it's actually unhealthy."

"Let's get aside whether it's fashion and Vogue, which it's not, or if someone thinks it's attractive – to each his own. It's actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it's unhealthy."

When asked why media would want to promote unhealthiness, West replied, "It's a genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can." 

Lizzo appeared to address his comments during a concert in Toronto over the weekend where she took to the stage with the words "My Body My Choice" projected onto her body.

The 34-year-old told the crowd she was "minding my fat, Black, beautiful business" before saying, "I feel like everybody in America got my mother******* name in their mother******* mouth for no mother******* reason."
