Really sad to hear of the passing of Russell Woolf. He was a great bloke. He was always warm, always made you feel relaxed, and always engaging. Authentic in every way. He'll be really missed; my thoughts to everyone in ABC Perth at this time.

Labor’s thumping win in Western Australia carries risks for both sides

Labor’s thumping win in Western Australia carries risks for both sides

With Mark McGowan’s government set to control both house houses of parliament, there will be questions of accountability. For the Liberals, there will be questions of relevance.

Dorothy Dixers will be scrapped from Question Time in NSW Parliament under reforms being considered. The ABC understands the change has overwhelming support and will come into effect in August. #nswpol

The MCG grand final deal is nothing but a VFL relic

The MCG grand final deal is nothing but a VFL relic

Victorians gnash their teeth when a single game is sold to a non-Victorian club as if precious integrity has been compromised. But they have been selling it off to themselves since in 1987.
