Andrew Powell isn’t in the news — it’s about a Canadian dingo cull in Queensland, not the British composer born in 1949.
On January 19, 2026, 19-year-old Canadian Piper James was found dead on Queensland's K'gari island, her body surrounded by dingoes. An autopsy indicated drowning as the likely cause, with dingo bites occurring post-mortem. Following observations of aggressive dingo behavior, Queensland authorities euthanized six dingoes from a pack of ten to enhance public safety, sparking debate over conservation and tourism impacts.
