Very proud of my daughter who refereed her first football games today - complete with a yellow card for a coach who wouldn’t stop shouting about a decision when warned. He was quiet after that (probably shouldn’t take that to stop an adult from shouting at a 16 year old ref in a pre-season game).

Andrea Maksimovic died a few weeks ago. She was fierce and funny and so smart. Her life was too short but she made such a difference on things that mattered. www.smh.com.au/national/unu...

Andrea Maksimovic’s great impact was on the social fabric of Australia’s left. Her talents for friendship and building unlikely communities inspired many in the movement that survives her.

The killing of Chhoeung Chheng is the first murder of a journalist in Cambodia for 10 years. Like the last two journalists who were killed, Chheng covered illegal logging and environmental issues.

His suspected killer is believed to be a logger.

Very hard to describe what a beautiful night it was at the football last night.

First North Melbourne AFLW flag, first ever invincible team, 5th flag for North Melbourne.

To top it off, a young cancer survivor and fan lifts the cup with the captain and coach.
