@moderndaylestat Just when I thought Dale Jennings was fading into memory 😢I suspect the audience will have its fair share of Newsreader fans.

@Ducnghia16 "San Francisco" 1967: The song of a generation which is now unfortunately passing away 😢

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@prettylestat I hope to buy a ticket too. We are to be envied.

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 "if this story had been written by a man, would Helen have been allowed the same complexity, or would she have been reduced to her instability?". The Newsreader was written mainly by a man: Michael Lucas, who won best TV drama script writer at the 2026 AACTA Awards for Newsreader

@hsywa216 Are you flying in from overseas again? Luckily I'll be in Sydney all of July.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@streidupdates Oh wow. I now know what I'll be going to see in July. Sam Reid playing a priest again - but will Sam be adopting an Irish or US accent or just stay his cute local self.🤔

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@daledelioncourt In our dreams 🤣😍

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 Oh, how interesting. I saw Lila McGuire in Goolagong (TV series) and enjoyed it. Another reason to watch Dustfall (in September?) on ABC.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@KathyLette Truly beautiful. My bluebells are firmly underground in my Canberra garden waiting for the first frosts before they send up their leaves and flowers mid winter.

@dunhaway Aims, did you know that "Charmian Clift, Life Burns High" is now on SBS , with pics from the Hydra days? https://t.co/1ZHpKt4Njh

@MissAlly_01 Cant quite see what all the fuss is about today. I saw the astronauts walking on the moon in 1969 on TV.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 Maria, Thank you so much for posting this - most enjoyable. Dustfall's writer seems to have a New Zealand accent-I hope you understood her ☺️.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 Maria, I'm not surprised you are excited after going to a world premiere. Dustfall was filmed on the Gold Coast of Queensland which I visited in February to see the AACTA Awards. It does have some beautiful scenery (& lovely warm weather). 🌴🌴🌴

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 I've watched Juliet Stevenson in UK TV series over the years. Quite envious that you saw her at the premiere of Dustfall in France. Looking forward to seeing it in Australia.

This could be Dale Jennings talking in #TheNewsreader about hiding your real self if you want to succeed in your job: "Don't be obvious, Don't give too much, Don't give them a reason ... " https://t.co/9sWUmIB15u

@Defendthewest17 One of the best documentaries ever. I watched the original on TV when it came out and bought the DVD a few decades later. I must watch it again soon.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@moderndaylestat Sorry you feel that way. Take your time. I've missed you.

[Braddon @braddonboy]

@Maria_PORTUGAL2 Wow, Pip looks gorgeous in these photos 😍

Life imitates art. Jacob Elordi brings his mum to the 2026 Oscars just as Dale Jennings brought his mum to the Logies in 1989 in #TheNewsreader https://t.co/0cU4edUg6Q

@C604Wt @simongerman600 Almost right. The South Australian business community did not want a full hour's difference with Melbourne & so the 9.5 hour difference was chosen instead of 9. The Northern Territory was still being administered by SA then & followed it. source SA Hansard.
