@bridgerollo @worldpressinst Congrats Bridget how exciting! Have a fantastic time

See ya in three months #springst! I’m off to the US with the @worldpressinst to learn all about American journalism on a fellowship with nine other fabulous journos from around the world. Solidarity to all my ABC colleagues taking industrial action next week.

@siobhanheanue @jamesglenday @BreakfastNews What’s weirdly fascinating is how often these letters are written entirely in capitals

@jamesglenday @BreakfastNews I hope you write back about his spelling 🤪

@bridgerollo Ha well played lady

@7_Cannon @austcine Oh Jimmy this is wonderful! so well deserved xx

The most wonderful news to wake up to!! Honoured to receive full ACS accreditation from the Australian Cinematographers Society 🎉 @austcine

Goddamn hard to imagine better pre-game entertainment than that #aflgf #robbiewilliams

I love this. How Australian travellers viewed what they’d find in England before they got there. Uninteresting people sitting in front of the fire eating crumpets whilst it’s foggy outside. A place useful as a stopover for a trip to the continent where suave men are found.

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

@VickiKerrigan Congratulations Vicki! and comiserations. x

On Monday I was awarded my PhD (no revisions required!) On Friday I tested positive for Covid. What a week!

.@BorisJohnson .@10DowningStreet Just touching base - we feel the time is right for a press conference. We have some experience with this sort of thing…

@benitakolovos @KosSamaras 'normal' friends. classic

@MarylouiseMcla1 So well deserved. A much needed voice of calm and reason during the scariest months of the pandemic.

I am honoured to receive the AO today. It has been my privilege, with the help of the media, to assist Australians during the pandemic through infection control. Thank you for your support and for looking after each other. Remember, get a booster shot!

This is very powerful

I have never regretted following this account.

Shocked to hear this news. Jill was passionate, untiring and super smart. As a baby political reporter during the first term of the Rann government, I was Bottralled more than once. But it was always done with good humour and grace. Vale Jill.

@AmeliaAdams9 Well said sister. You're marvellous. Jesus Christ this stuff is from the dark ages.

User reports indicate ANZ is having problems since 1:52 PM AEDT. downdetector.com.au/status/anz-ban… RT if you're also having problems #ANZdown

We're jumping for joy! 🎉 After 175 days, ICU's Pod B is now closed to COVID-19 patients because of lower COVID-19 presentations. We have 6 rooms still available in the ICU for COVID-19 patients, and the ability to "switch back" Pod B to COVID-19 beds is always there if needed.

But there was also the very sad story about Kamila Valieva. (…) I was very, very disturbed yesterday, when I watched the competition on TV and saw first in her performance how high the pressure on her must have been. – IOC President Bach #Olympics #Beijing2022
