Western Australia Police have taken a teenager into custody following the death of a woman in Perth. Officers were called to a residence in the northern suburbs on Wednesday, where they discovered the body of a woman. Authorities confirmed that the teenager, who is related to the victim, was arrested at the scene and is currently assisting investigators with their inquiries. No charges have been filed as the investigation remains in its initial stages.

## Victorian Teachers Scheduled for Industrial Action
In a separate development, the education sector in Victoria is preparing for planned industrial action this Thursday. The Australian Education Union (AEU) has directed its members to participate in a stop-work protest, which is expected to affect public school operations across the state.

The industrial action stems from ongoing negotiations between the union and the state government regarding a new enterprise bargaining agreement. The AEU is seeking improvements to teacher workloads, increased support for students with disabilities, and salary adjustments.

The Victorian Department of Education has advised parents and guardians to expect disruptions to classroom instruction and school supervision throughout the day. While some schools may remain open, others have signaled that they will be unable to maintain normal operations due to the anticipated number of staff participating in the protest.

The state government and the union remain in discussions, with no formal agreement reached on the outstanding claims.
