When Belinda Jane learned at Christmas that her mother had secretly transferred the family farm to one of her siblings, she says the loss went far beyond an asset valued at about $1million.

The 46-year-old, the eldest of seven children, said the decision fractured the family and highlighted the dangers of making significant inheritance arrangements without proper legal advice or open discussion.

Ms Jane said her 72-year-old mother transferred the 64-hectare farm in East Gippsland—land that had been in the family for generations—to one of her sons without speaking to her other six children.

Ms Jane began investigating after becoming suspicious of her sister-in-law’s behaviour at Christmas 2025. She obtained the title documents and discovered that the sheep farm had been gifted to her oldest brother as an early inheritance.

“My mother had basically given her whole inheritance to one of my brothers and had not told us, keeping it a secret for 12 months,” she told the Daily Mail.

When Ms Jane asked why the transfer had not been disclosed, she said her mother replied: “Oh, I meant to, but life got in the way.” Ms Jane said that might explain a delay of a week or two, but not a year.

According to Ms Jane, her mother had frequently spoken about preserving the farming legacy left by her father.

“I said to her, ‘But you neglected to ask whether any of your other children wanted to be part of that legacy,’” she said.

Ms Jane said she was deeply concerned that her mother had not sought independent legal advice or discussed the decision with her children before effectively excluding the others from an asset in which they felt they had an interest.

She said several of her siblings had previously shown interest in buying land or becoming involved in the farm, but were never offered a genuine opportunity to do so.

“I’ve never been interested in the farm, but I know some of the others were,” Ms Jane said.

Some siblings had even offered to purchase blocks from their mother, she said, but the discussions broke down after she proposed what they considered to be exorbitant prices.

“I never thought anything would be equal when she passed away, but I thought it would be somewhat fair,” Ms Jane said.

She stressed that the dispute was not chiefly about money. Instead, she said, the secrecy and lack of consultation had damaged trust and left six siblings feeling excluded from a major family decision.

“Mum’s lack of trust in us and lack of communication, honesty and transparency, all of the above, have brought up old hurts for us six other children—and the feeling that we weren’t wanted by her.”

Ms Jane said the dispute had strained relationships across generations, including among the family’s eight grandchildren. Some relatives are now uncomfortable attending long-standing gatherings at the property.

“I think that’s when Mum’s really going to notice,” she said.

‘Mum has just stuck her head in the sand and refused to answer some pretty simple questions from the beginning, such as: Who did you talk to? Who did you get advice from? Why did you do this? Why didn’t you tell us?

‘She has flat-out refused to answer those questions. She has since attempted to answer some of them, but she doesn’t seem to see the real issue, which is that she has neglected all the other kids.

‘I’m particularly upset for a few of my siblings who do a lot for her. I don’t. I live in the city, and I’ve never had a great relationship with her.

‘But if you can’t give credit to those kids who still do so much for you… my sister lives around the corner from Mum, and she’s constantly helping her out.

‘Another brother has been very close to Mum, not the one who got the farm, and I just don’t understand how she has seemingly forgotten all that and handed it over to one child.’

Ms Jane said she was also concerned about her mother’s future care after giving away a major asset that could potentially have funded aged care. 

‘I asked her what are you going to do when you can’t look after yourself anymore and need to pay for some sort of care, wherever that is?’ 

‘And her response was, “God will provide.”‘

She said she decided to speak publicly because she believes families need to have open conversations about wills, estate planning and inheritance before disputes arise.

‘I have never been one to shy away from talking about things that most people don’t like to discuss. The only way to educate people is for someone to talk about it.’

Daily Mail contacted Ms Jane’s mother for comment, but she refused to speak.

Ms Jane’s family dispute comes as Australia enters what has been dubbed the ‘Great Wealth Transfer’, with trillions of dollars in property, superannuation, investments and other assets set to pass from older Australians to younger generations.

The Productivity Commission has estimated Australians aged over 60 will transfer about $3.5trillion in wealth over the coming decades as the Baby Boomer generation ages. 

More than $120billion was transferred through inheritances and gifts in 2018, more than double the amount in 2002, with inheritances accounting for about 90 per cent of transfers. 

The Commission has projected the value of inheritances could increase around four-fold in real terms by 2050 as Australia’s population ages and decades of rising property and investment values swell the estates being left behind.

The second marriage of an Australian man filmed beating a puppy to death and eating it during a traditional wedding ceremony in Indonesia may already be under strain.

Robby Wirramanda, 53, whose real name is Robert Knight and who is a convicted drug dealer, provoked widespread outrage this month after the black puppy was killed on the Indonesian island of West Nusa Tenggara, east of Bali.

In footage recorded during his wedding to 20-year-old local bride Rensi Ana, the dog can be heard whimpering as its hind legs are tied to prevent it escaping. Wirramanda is then seen striking the animal with a stick until it dies.

Ana initially shared the video on Facebook. The footage also appeared to show Wirramanda killing a piglet with a knife. The post was later removed as criticism intensified.

Wirramanda has since uploaded videos showing him being baptised ahead of a second wedding ceremony, styled in a more Western fashion, in which his bride wore a lacy white dress.

However, a series of tense videos featuring the couple arguing and trading barbs has fueled speculation that the relationship is already facing difficulties.

The clips also show Wirramanda handling other puppies, including one that appeared strikingly similar to the animal killed during the earlier ceremony.

In one video, he pets a golden labradoodle-type dog while Ana adds a disturbing caption: ‘People who eat animals for breakfast should also have breakfast hehe.’

The latest footage has prompted a warning from animal protection group Bali Dogs and other online commentators. One message read: ‘He is playing with it to gain its trust… then will kill it the same way.’

Another commenter wrote: ‘You shouldn’t be allowed near any animals.’

Only weeks after the couple’s second wedding—and shortly after Wirramanda was baptised—their relationship appears to be showing signs of tension.

Ana has appeared to clash with her husband in one of several videos recently posted to Facebook as she capitalises on the attention surrounding the couple.

Wearing a crisp white shirt, Ana tells Wirramanda to move away while she poses for her phone and explains that she is filming herself eating.

Wirramanda responds in an increasingly frustrated tone, repeatedly asking: ‘Is there anything you want me to put in the bag? How many times do you want me to ask you?’

When Ana ignores him and gestures toward her phone camera again, he exclaims: ‘Oh my God!’

He then appears to grab the phone from her hand in an aggressive manner before the recording cuts out.

Wirramanda, from Mildura in Victoria, was jailed for six and a half years in 2012 over an amphetamine trafficking operation he ran from his Melbourne gym.

He broke his silence after the puppy dog video went viral to deny slurs made by online trolls.

‘An extraordinary amount of false, defamatory and deeply disturbing information has been circulated about me across social media,’ he posted.

‘A significant amount of this material appears to be coming from, or being amplified by members and associates of my former partner’s family.

‘But there is an enormous difference between discussing someone’s documented past and inventing accusations of murder, rape, paedophilia, child trafficking and other serious crimes.’

He said he would report any further comments ‘to the appropriate authorities’.

However he continues to come under fire for the puppy-killing videos, although some locals have leapt to his defence. 

‘Back when I was in junior high, I absolutely loved eating dog meat,’ said one user, posting in the local Indonesian Bahasa language.

‘I don’t eat it anymore because I’m an animal lover. That said, I still acknowledge the tradition in Sumba; my family does eat it, but we don’t kill dogs that guard the house.’ 

The notorious Facebook clip showed Wirramanda beating the dog before delivering the final death blows to the head while being egged on by his bride at his side. 

‘If you encounter suspected animal cruelty, abuse, neglect, or other actions that could cause suffering to an animal, document the incident safely and report it,’ Animal Lawyer Indonesia pleaded on Instagram.

The Daily Mail has contacted Wirramanda for comment.

Former Brisbane Broncos winger Jharal Yow Yeh has offered Nathan Cleary a message of hope after the Penrith Panthers halfback suffered a serious ankle injury.

Cleary sustained a compound fracture to his left ankle during a hip-drop tackle from Newcastle’s Phoenix Crossland in Sunday’s 22-14 preliminary final loss.

The Panthers star had already been battling a broken right foot and is expected to undergo multiple surgeries, leaving NRL supporters anxiously awaiting further news about his recovery.

Yow Yeh knows the long-term impact of a major ankle injury better than most. He suffered a catastrophic injury against South Sydney in Perth in 2012, endured 10 operations and almost two years of rehabilitation before his career was brought to an early end at just 24.

However, speaking to Daily Mail, the former Queensland and Australian winger said the distressing similarities between the two incidents did not mean Cleary would necessarily face the same outcome.

‘I actually don’t think it’ll be as bad as what a lot of people think,’ Yow Yeh said.

Yow Yeh stressed that his optimism came with a caveat: he did not yet know the full extent of Cleary’s injuries.

Sunday night’s incident also revived painful memories of the injury that cut short Yow Yeh’s promising career.

‘I just feel so bad for him,’ he said.

‘I know that feeling. I know where he’s at when you’re sitting there and you’re just helpless.

‘You never think that that’s gonna happen to you. I can guarantee you I never thought in my life that I would ever do something like that.’

He also warned against making a direct comparison, pointing out that an ankle dislocation was a major element of his own injury.

‘Mine was a dislocation of my ankle joint,’ he said.

‘So I think a lot of people are trying to throw similarities. I’m not sure if he’s done that.’

Yow Yeh said the exact fracture and the extent of any additional damage would be critical in determining Cleary’s recovery, while acknowledging the added risks when a broken bone breaks through the skin.

‘I think the complication part is because it has pierced skin, there is a chance there where you can get an infection,’ he said.

Yow Yeh raised the question of how Cleary would feel when he eventually returned to the demands of professional football.

‘It’s just whether you’ll have pain, I suppose, when he comes back, because we’ve gotta remember you’re holding your body weight on your ankles, your legs,’ he said.

‘Keep in mind, I wasn’t a kicker. I didn’t kick the ball a lot like him. I didn’t kick the goals. He’s still a very healthy young man.’

Physiotherapist Brien Seeney, who provides injury analysis under the NRL Physio name, also highlighted the uncertainty surrounding an open fracture.

In his initial assessment on X, Seeney said the usual recovery range for ankle fractures and dislocations was three to four months, but warned Cleary’s situation could be more complicated.

‘The open nature of the injury increases the uncertainty here and it might not be so clear cut,’ Seeney wrote.

He explained that an open wound greatly increased infection risk and would require a washout during surgery to reduce that risk.

Yow Yeh believed Cleary’s access to the club’s trusted medical specialists in Sydney was a reason for encouragement.

‘He’s got everyone that the club would trust in the vicinity,’ he said.

‘I’ve got no doubt that the club doctor or the surgeon would have been called immediately.

‘We’re talking about the best player in the world, right? Like, arguably best player in the world.’

He expected there would be no shortage of specialists willing to help the Panthers halfback.

‘I can guarantee you there’s that many surgeons putting their hands up to be inside that room to help,’ he said.
