Sam Wood, a 46-year-old fitness entrepreneur, is being held at Brisbane's high-security Wacol prison following his denial of bail on charges of choking and assaulting his wife Snezana during an argument in Noosa. Police moved him from Maroochydore to the secure facility after Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim deemed him too risky for release, despite Wood’s legal team planning further bail applications. The court heard Snezana feared for her life as she was choked and thrown against walls during the altercation in their holiday unit.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
