It’s been more than 5 years since a Canberra toddler named Safa Annour died in a suspected murder. There have been no arrests, no answers, no justice. No closure. I spent six months investigating the case for an anthology of long-form, non-fiction essays. It’s out on January 9

@Stick_Beetle @tomdecent @iainpayten Ireland! But also here for the Fijian dream.

@tomdecent @iainpayten Ireland, Wales or Argentina

So the Wallabies are out. Who are we cheering for in the Rugby World Cup now? Via @iainpayten smh.com.au/sport/rugby-un…

It didn’t have to be like this !

Wales 40 Australia 6. A shambles. Worst performance in World Cup history and the Wallabies will be knocked out in the pool stages. As bad as it gets

Brilliant from Fiji. Outplayed almost across the park. Wallabies barely in the contest.

@BMcSport here for this

Wait, what?!? What, wait?

This is my backstory… You’ll read about where I started & how far I’ve come. I owe so much to the many teachers I had along the way. Some presented as people. Others as inescapable truths about the world around me. I hope you enjoy reading 😊 abc.net.au/news/backstory…

@triplejplays Thank you for everything, radio robot.

After more than a million tweets sharing the tracks + artists we play, we have to say bye to @triplejplays 💔 This is unfortunately due to Twitter moving to a paid model for automated services. To see what we’re playing, head to the triple j app or site: abc.net.au/triplej/featur…

Magnificent

@domknight Agreed. What possible difference would it make if they just postponed till tomorrow? Both sides benefit from the day off, so there's no advantage.

Play. Another. Day. (If needed.) Honestly, this happens so often!

@CraigAllenCBR @jamesglenday Really needs to come with a spoiler alert.

US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles. Slightly alarming, folks. We are not alone. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

On now on @abcnews. Absolutely cracking story (stories!).
