A lot has been written about indigenous foster care but in a few words Milly sums it up. She just wants a normal life with the family she loves. It’s not much to ask. My story in @australian https://t.co/qghDBmLW65

@melissahoyer I couldn’t reach my head 8 months ago - with some good physio the shoulder’s back to 95pc. I’ll DM you the physio’s name if you like

Pat Oliphant, a giant of political cartooning who lampooned 10 presidents, fears for his art. I met him in Santa Fe to talk about an extraordinary life ⁦@australian⁩ https://t.co/QK88t7KPyY

A small, late-developing kid from the suburbs of Brisbane, Cameron Smith had to find new ways to win at golf’s dizzying heights. Now he’s pocketed the biggest purse in the history of the sport — how far can he go?

@samanthamaiden Interesting to see which businesses have seemingly endless supply: A fat freezing joint in Sydney had them piled up in window at $20 a single test. A pharmacy a few doors up had “out of stock” notice.

@d27_heather We tried a pharmacy and supermarket in morning - glad there’s availability

[Christine Middap @ChristineMiddap]

Random sample of rapid antigen test kit availability on drive between Melbourne and Sydney past 24 hours - South Yarra, Euroa, Albury, Wagga, Yass - zero #auspol. Some pharmacies said “next week” with more hope than certainty

[Christine Middap @ChristineMiddap]

@DanBox10 So glad to hear things looking better Dan.
