On March 15 the unthinkable happened. It happened to the most innocent of all at their most vulnerable time, a time of peace and worship. For Australians watching the horror unfold, it was all too close to home. How could such injustice be carried out on our doorstep? Worse still, who could do this to our long-time allies and closest of friends? New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she cannot begin to know the grief of the families left behind, but asked her country to walk with them at every stage. With a proud history of mateship with our Kiwi neighbours, we not only walk alongside them with compassion but we wrap our arms around every New Zealander at this time of tragedy. May their countrymen rest in peace…
With 50 innocent people killed during prayers in Christchurch, the world united to condemn the atrocity and fight to end “hatred and intolerance” as New Zealand began to bury the dead and comfort the living. “What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us,” said New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The sentiment was echoed around the world with Queen Elizabeth, Pope Francis and world leaders sending their condolences. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the massacre an “attack on all peace loving peoples, on all innocent peoples”. When he visited the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, he expressed the…
Australians threw their arms around our devastated Kiwi cousins following the horrific twin terrorist attacks in Christchurch to show we stand with them in this time of grief. Whether it was praying together at candlelight vigils; standing strong on sporting fields; paddling out past the breakers in tribute or travelling across “the ditch” to wash the bodies of the 50 fallen. Right across our wide brown land the outpouring of grief and solidarity for New Zealand from Muslim and non-Muslim Australians alike has only strengthened our resolve to fight injustice and terror. As the Sydney Opera House sails were lit with a simple silver fern, hashtags like #WeStandWithChristchurch and #WeStandTogether gained traction on social media, which was flooded with messages of love, hope and condemnation for the “evil” shooter. “No…
Over the past 13 years, with a full-on job and as a single mum, I’ve hired my fair share of nannies. One turned up barefoot to the interview, another quit over a dirty nappy (peculiar given her career choice!) and another was so germaphobic she wore rubber gloves the whole time! In the end, I decided on a manny. He was a great cook and loved playing nerdy games with my geeky boys. But in a lesson it appears Prince Harry is about to learn (p18), it’s best not to choose a Hollywood hunk with model looks! Harry could take a tip from Meghan’s buddy George Clooney, who famously has no help whatsoever and changes all the nappies himself. With rumours of another set of twins on the way, that’s…

Poor Victoria Beckham probably thought she’d seen the last of love rival Rebecca Loos years ago, but she’s been left reeling with the upsetting rumours that Rebecca is moving back to the UK – and down the road from their family home! Following the affair scandal between David, 43, and Rebecca in 2004, the former PA, 41, married and started her life over in Norway. But according to an insider, the mother-of-two yoga instructor plans to head back to UK shores. “She’s hoping to split her time between London and Norway,” says the source. “Rebecca is apparently partnering with a yoga studio in Holland Park and teaching classes there, so she’s rented out a home just a stone’s throw away from the studio – which also happens to be just…
