This isn’t goodbye - it’s a celebration of Olivia's legacy and a look ahead to the future.
For many years, Olivia’s Walk for Wellness has brought people together in support of Austin Health's Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, a place created from Olivia’s dream of...
I’ve had four months out of the pool due to rotator cuff injury. I think it’s right up there with hip surgery recovery. I still can’t swim laps but some pool work feels great, a lot of stretching is helping. Lucky I have a fun coach.
I presented state awards to warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, handed over the Order of the Golden Star to the family of a fallen Hero who was awarded this title posthumously, and presented combat flags to the units.
The Unmanned Systems Forces are one of Ukraine’s greatest achievements – proof of Ukrainian leadership in technology and in saving lives through technology. The number of Russian targets struck thanks to our Unmanned Systems Forces already reaches hundreds of thousands per year, and over the past year alone – from June to June – it amounts to more than 356,000 Russian targets struck.
Thank you! I am proud of every man and woman serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces – from soldiers and sergeants to Magyar and all commanders. And we always remember every Ukrainian warrior who gave their life so that Ukraine can live and remain independent and strong.
Jane’s Mum was a huge part of my life. She used to come on tour with us, all around Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US. Kusumphorn’s first rock show was Cold Chisel and she was out front at my show when she was 80.

“There’s a party in the Heavens for Mumma’s birthday tonight, on Earth she would have been 89. I am at the beach with my love, where she brought me some 63 years ago, where my earliest memories remain, when Aunty’s house was a sprawling teak holiday home surrounded by coconut palms. Thank you for taking me everywhere you could, to grow up with the world at my feet … to shine … ‘always to shine, to shine everywhere, to the very deeps of the last days, to shine’ (Vladimir Mayakovsky) Happy Heavenly birthday my Beautiful Superstar ✨🌟💫💞🎶💃🙏”
Today, for the first time, we mark the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces, and from now on, each year, June 11 will be a day of our gratitude to the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
Modern warfare can no longer be imagined without drones, and Ukrainian unmanned systems are operating successfully at different levels: from carrying out missions on the frontline to striking important enemy facilities hundreds of kilometers deep inside its territory. All of this is being documented, and it is thanks to the precision and skill of our operators that Russia’s losses have long exceeded 30,000 killed and wounded per month.
I thank each and every person serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces, developing Ukrainian technologies, and working for the sake of our advantage on the battlefield. Thank you to everyone who is working to reduce Russia’s capabilities and strengthen our security.
