The Filipina-Australian girlfriend of Las Vegas mass-killer Stephen Paddock has arrived back in the US.

Marilou Danley was taken through Los Angeles airport by FBI agents on Tuesday night in a wheelchair after flying in from the Philippines.

Ms Danley is due to face questions about the massacre and the reported $US100,000 her boyfriend transferred to her in the Philippines before he killed 58 people and injured more than 500 others as he fired from a 32nd-floor hotel suite into a country music festival on Sunday night.

The 62-year-old former Queensland resident, who left Australia in 1989 and lived with Paddock in Nevada, will be escorted to Las Vegas.

“We have a lot of questions,” Las Vegas Undersheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters.

Her sister who lives in Queensland says Marilou is a good person and knew nothing about Paddock’s plot.

“I know that she didn’t know anything as well, like us. She was sent away so she would not interfere with what he was planning,” her sister, who remained unidentified, told Seven News.

“She didn’t even know she was going to the Philippines until Steve said ‘Marilou I found you a cheap ticket to the Philippines’.”

“He sent her away so he could plan what he was planning without interruptions. In that sense, I thank him for sparing my sister’s life. But that won’t compensate the 59 other people’s lives.”

“No one can put the puzzle together. No one except Marilou. Because Steve is not here to talk anymore, only Marilou can maybe help.”

Las Vegas sheriff Joseph Lombardo says Ms Danley is “a person of interest” and hopes she will provide a “substantial amount” of information on Paddock’s motives.

2. Faulty pregnancy tests that are “unreliable and inaccurate” removed from shelves.

Batches of do-it-yourself pregnancy tests have been removed from sale in Australia after they were found to be unreliable and inaccurate.

The move was sparked by the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s review of self-pregnancy tests that rely on detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, in a woman’s urine shortly after conception.

“Some devices were found not to work reliably and accurately and have been corrected or removed from the market,” the TGA said in a statement, AAP reports. “All devices remaining on the market have been shown to work reliably and accurately.”

Pregnancy kits that failed the test include:

• PregSure Digital – recalled and cancelled from sale
• PregSure test strips – recalled and cancelled from sale
• QuickVue One-Step hCG urine test kit – removed from sale by manufacturer
• One Step Pregnancy test – removed from sale by manufacturer
• First Response Digital Pregnancy Test/ First Response Test & Reassure – manufacturing fault corrected

3. ‘No’ campaign denied from second venue, as Bob Hawke attacks survey.

A second venue has pulled out of hosting a Coalition for Marriage rally against same sex marriage following a move by the city’s casino.

The University of Tasmania refused to host the ‘no’ event as did Wrest Point Casino, Hobart’s Archbishop Julian Porteous said on Wednesday.

“Upon making inquiries to the University of Tasmania to secure a venue for the event, the university decided the event did not meet its criteria,” the Archbishop said in a statement, AAP reports.

The casino pulled out of hosting the event, despite the venue hire fees being paid in full, he continued.

This comes as former Prime Minister Bob Hawke savaged the same sex marriage survey during a Q&A session at the National Press Club on Wednesday.

“It still requires a vote of the parliament, whatever the result of the vote is,” he told reporters in Canberra.

“It costs $122 million bloody dollars. Can you imagine a prime minister would make a decision in these stringent times to spend $122 million dollars on a process that can’t produce a result.”

Mr Hawke said the money would be better spent bridging disadvantage among indigenous Australians or on education.

Former Bachelor Matty J has become an uncle (again!).

His sister, Kate, has given birth to a baby girl called Millie, her second child after son George who is 17 months old.

Matty J told Be Kate is still in hospital after giving birth on Monday but “she’ll be out soon”.

Matty J and his girlfriend Laura Byrne began dating after last season’s The Bachelor.

From all accounts, things are going well – judging by the introduction to his “nearest and dearest” photographed above.

A Danish inventor charged with murdering Swedish journalist Kim Wall in his home-made submarine had video footage on his computer showing women being violently killed, a court has heard.

A police prosecutor on Tuesday said officers found images “presumed to be real” of women being strangled and decapitated on the hard drive of Peter Madsen’s computer in a laboratory he ran.

That, together with new post-mortem evidence showing Wall was stabbed 15 times in the abdomen and genitals, as The Guardian reports, the case is building against Madsen.

Madsen denies murdering Wall, telling police the computer was not his and that Wall died accidentally when she hit her head on a heavy hatch cover inside the submarine.

The 30-year-old freelance journalist went missing while covering a story on Madsen and his home-made submarine. On August 23, police identified a headless female torso washed ashore in Copenhagen as Hall’s.

6. Students caught cheating in HSC exams.

Some Victorian students sitting their final high school exams have been caught texting friends for answers and copying multiple choice questions, an education authority has found.

Up to 68 students cheated in their exams, including one found texting another student, while five others copied multiple choice answers off another teenager, a Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority report released on Wednesday showed.

The students were nabbed in 2016 and several received penalties for the breaches, which included a reduction of final grades or having their exam mark lowered.

It serves as a reminder to students around the country embarking on their final exams this week.

The head of the US Senate Intelligence Committee said on Wednesday there was a general consensus in the panel that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.

Evidence on the issue of the collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign is still being examined, Republican Senator Richard Burr told reporters on Wednesday.

"The issue of collusion is still open... We continue to investigate both intelligence and witnesses," Burr said.

The committee had interviewed "everybody who had a hand" in an intelligence assessment, which concluded Russia meddled in the election, he said.

"I think there is a general consensus among members and staff we trust the conclusions," Burr told reporters.
