Paul Papalia resigns; robotic vacuum explodes; China missile test | 7NEWS

Western Australian Labor Minister Paul Papalia announces his resignation from Parliament due to a family member's serious illness, ending a career spanning 26 years in the Navy and multiple ministerial portfolios since 2007. His departure will trigger a by-election in the beachside electorate of Secret Harbour, 50 kilometres south of Perth, with One Nation emerging as a potential challenger to Labor's historically strong hold on the seat. A separate incident sees a 25-year-old Brabham man in critical condition with burns to 75% of his body after his robotic vacuum exploded in his kitchen.
