No disrespect to Sunrise and their new promo, but is there a single family that looks like this while eating breakfast? Especially in 2020? Why aren’t the parents at work? Why is everyone wearing white? Why aren’t the siblings fighting? Why is no one crying? Where are the phones?

I’ve covered 5 stories in a fortnight where NRL players have been charged with assaulting women. I’m repulsed that this is 2018 and this is what young boys and girls are looking up to as role models. There IS a cultural problem, whatever they’re doing to fix it isn’t working.

Literally every person I know in Vic is looking to relocate to a different state as soon as borders reopen. They’re terrified they’ll be in lockdown again if there’s another wave - which is in no way out of the question. A mass exodus would have huge ramifications on other states

Media friends, can we get on the same page with covid reporting? I think it’s confusing to the public when we say “10 new cases” when that INCLUDES tomorrow’s and EXCLUDES some from yesterday?! Shouldn’t it just be 5 because that’s in the 24 hour period? We need to be consistent.
