George Negus was a giant of Australian journalism. His courage, curiosity and integrity gave millions of Australians a sense of the big issues on 60 Minutes, and a window to the world through Foreign Correspondent. George sought and served the truth with steely determination and a twinkle in his eye, and along the way, he made even the smallest TV screen feel that much bigger. He was a wonderful human being and his loss will be deeply felt by so many Australians. We offer his family the heartfelt condolences of our nation. May he rest in peace.

Tupperware, do you return it full or empty? In my latest piece for @guardianaustralia I explore this act & some of the cultural traditions surrounding it. theguardian.com/food/2022/ju… #foodculture #foodtraditions #foodgiving

The etiquette of returning Tupperware: ‘It always comes back with something in it’

In some cultures borrowed bowls should never be returned empty, but what you choose to give involves some careful consideration

All across Victoria, there are people forced to isolate without access to work or food. Our office staff are pulling up their sleeves - accountants, our food team, our School Breakfast Club crew - all pitching in to get food to Victorians in need. #Lockdown4

Breadmaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony... There is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts... MFK Fisher Agree?

There are over 3200 bread varieties in Germany. 🍞I’ve just ticked another off the list, a homemade loaf of #bremerkürbisbrot (pumpkin bread native to #Bremen). Roughly 3,180 to go 😂. How many German bread varieties have you tried? #germanbread
