Ball of the Century
#OnThisDay in 1993, Shane Warne bowled his first ball in England and that turned out to be the Ball of the Century.
It drifted lazily onto leg stump, then spat back a yard or two and clipped the top of off.
The famous picture of Ian Healy aahing and Gatting oohing tells the story perfectly.
Sally McManus fires back at One Nation's working class appeal: "Pauline Hanson is consistent consistently voting against worker's rights."
Citing Hanson's consistently opposition to unfair dismissal laws, penalty rates, and wage theft protections. #Auspol
Every Australian can remember a teacher who changed their life.
The one who backed them, inspired them, and helped them see what they were capable of.
That's why we'll always back our teachers. And it's why we’re fully funding every school in Australia.
Great to celebrate National Public Education Day with teachers, students and school communities at today’s AEU event.
Rugby league has always been about community.
And that community spirit is alive here at the new home of the St George Illawarra Dragons.
The Bruce Gordon Centre combines world class sporting infrastructure for both men and women, with the very best of community facilities.
It’s a new chapter in a proud history and a win for the NRL, the Illawarra community and the next generation of Dragons.
Until last week Australia was the only developed country with endemic trachoma, a devastating eye disease which often causes blindness. Many thousands of people have lost their sight to trachoma, which is much more common in indigenous communities.
It’s been eradicated here after decades of work by doctors, nurses, medical researchers, and aid workers - with government support and sustained community involvement. Massive congratulations to all involved in this historic effort.

Also in the SMH report on the elimination of trachoma is the fact that the Hollows team would prescribe lenses and the "OPSM (the retailer) would deliver the glasses a few weeks later to the local clinic, at no cost". A quiet act of generosity.
