With my sons, Donncadh and Ruairi, at the original Cleary cabin in Anglesboro, County Limerick, Ireland in October 2025. Sean (John) and Donncadh (Dinny) Cleary left here in October 1863. I love walking in their footsteps.

Reclaiming our VFA. As I told Paul Amy, that great defender of Victoria’s original football competition, the VFA, it’s time for every VFA club to reclaim their history.‘Coburg VFA’ in 2025 would be a start. If you don’t know about the VFA, just do some research. @PaulAmy375

Confronting men's violence against women

A great piece by Sophie Else in the Border Mail. More than 230 people at a discussion in Wodonga organised by Rotary and 130 students at The Scots School Albury the next morning.

While discussing Charlie Kirk’s killing might I remind you that my sister Vicki Cleary was murdered outside her place of work by a man sentenced to less than 4 years in gaol in 1989 and the state government has rejected my request for an apology.

Is Bob Katter for real? As my father used to say about such people, ‘Couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag’.
