Sam Neill starred in so many beloved Australian stories and he earned a special place in Australian hearts.

Wry and dry, thoughtful and laconic, Sam fought illness with the same dignity, humour and conviction that gave strength to his every performance.

He will be much mourned and long remembered. May he rest in peace.

@ohdaisychen Seconded! I call them the HAGs (husband and girlfriend) group of the ex-TOs. They would have so much fun together.

@icelandcricket Whoops - my fault for going online before I could watch the replay 😭😭😭

Here's the uncropped image from the video I shared yesterday, showing this massive wave of energy traveling through interstellar space after a supernova.

This is a 65 hour exposure captured entirely from my backyard.

The Aussie standard (almost).

“yeah, nah” or the least used “nah, yeah”.

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

"yeah no" is my favorite combo.

@vandaorchid88 I have a random thought that I might know who it is but I don't want to say it in case I'm right and ruin it for others (also that sounds very vain and I don't mean to be, I swear!). But if I've right I'm excitedddd :).

Favourite thing. Add in a beach and I'm sold.

A quick story about Anthony Head.

He was of my earliest interviews as an entertainment journalist. It was GILES… from BUFFY. I was nervous.

Towards the end of our conversation, I dried up and forgot my next question… (1/2)

[Morgan Jeffery @morganjeffery]

The interview was being filmed, it could’ve been embarrassing.

Spotting the panic in my eyes, he leapt straight into another point: “… and I’ll tell you something else.”

The interview continued. I picked up the flow again. He’d saved my blushes. Kind and gracious. (2/2)

AstraZeneca's decision to withdraw this drug from the PBS will affect 1000's of women in Australia living with endo & breast cancer.

They say it's a "commercial decision" but are leaving the higher dose used for prostate cancer as is.

I asked questions at Estimates yesterday on behalf of Canberrans who had contacted me, worried about what their treatment looks like in the future.

I urge AZ to front up and explain what's happening - women with breast cancer deserve transparency here.

@cashandcarrots @simongerman600 Hahaha. Absolutely nuts. Mum was around when they changed from the pound to the dollar here and I’ve heard enough stories. Let’s stick to what works! 🤣

[J @emeraldcascaded]

@cashandcarrots @simongerman600 The measurement thing is really interesting - we only do milk in litres here (or as far as I’m aware) - 1L, 2L, 3L etc. So I guess the scenario adapts to the measurement? Kinda cool!

[J @emeraldcascaded]

@AutumBreezes @simpsons_DG I was just thinking the same thing. Everytime I see a joke about Azaria I want to say 'you realise a real human died, right? And a baby at that?'. Possibly just a hindsight perspective, but it feels pretty tasteless.

As millions tune in for State of Origin tonight, it’s important to remember domestic violence rates will spike by up to 40%. Speak up to keep her safe. The behaviour you excuse is the behaviour you accept.
