A woman has been charged by police following allegations that she laced a colleague’s curry with snail bait. The incident, which has prompted a formal investigation, remains under review as authorities process the evidence related to the alleged poisoning.

In a separate matter, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is facing criticism regarding a pledge to provide free abortions across the state.
