There could be nothing more satisfying than watching Andrew and Tristan Tate get arrested in Miami on Saturday.

An affronted Andrew (who, as an aside, was committing some serious crimes to fashion at the time of the arrest), was taken away by US Marshalls on charges that he and his brother allegedly raped and trafficked women from 2010 to 2017.Let’s hope it sticks. Madeline Hislop has the latest.

In other news, Tony’s been tinkering again. Casually undermining the party he’s president of, Tony Abbott has no intention of modernising. On social media he went on a racist tirade about the pitfalls of multiculturalism, Islam and diversity sounding more like Pauline Hanson than Pauline Hanson. His colleague Andrew Bragg was quick to rebuke, but the damage was done.

My take on why the Liberal Party can’t rebuild when it has no idea what it stands for. 

Are you back in the office full time with minimal flexibility? If so, you’re more likely to have a narcissist boss according to new research.

Finally today, when Annabelle Wilson’s husband’s Josh returned from military service in Afghanistan with a brain tumour, she expected the Department of Veterans’ Affairs would be there for her and her family.

The reality couldn’t have been more different. When Josh eventually died, Wilson spent a decade fighting the system for much-needed change. She shares her amazing story, here.

Thanks to support from the Australian Government, a limited number of complimentary tickets are available for those who would like to attend our 2026 Women's Health & Wellbeing Summit but for whom the cost of a ticket would otherwise be a barrier. All the info here.
