In dark times, we must look for the light.

Thinking of you tonight, New South Wales.

It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in a daily dog.. but it feels like we need it. Feel free to add some cute pics of your own and maybe it will bring some comfort to those who need all the dogs right now. ❤️ 🐾

UPDATE: We are mobilising trained disaster mental health support clinicians who will join staff at Bondi Junction in the coming days. The first mental health staff will be at Bondi Junction from this afternoon to provide support.

We are also working on finding a location for…

Awful, heartbreaking scenes coming out of Bondi Junction this afternoon. It doesn't matter where you live, these are images you never want to see.

Tonight, Victorians are sending strength to everyone north of the border. And holding our loved ones a little bit tighter.

Hard to comprehend Nathan Templeton is gone.
So young, vibrant, talented and cheeky.
That’s how I’ll remember him.
Vale and rest in peace

Almost everyone is labelled a 'great bloke' once they're gone, but Nathan Templeton truly was. Viewers got to see the incredibly talented reporter; colleagues and friends got so much more. One of the funniest people you'd meet. So many great times. My heart goes out to those boys

Statement from the Premier on the passing of Les Twentyman.

This one was never just a yarn. It was people’s lives and I couldn’t let it go. Thanks to the people who trusted me. The quill is fabulous recognition but the outcome for victims will always be the prize. ❤️

Oh my the fire is not simmering from Tim Pallas..addressing comments made by NSW Premier Chris Minns on the GST share…

‘he may not be the sharpest tool but he is a tool’

Yesterday the NSW Premier called Victoria the ‘welfare state’ while talking about our larger GST share..

And now…Tim Pallas has arrived… 🫣

I'm thinking of every worker and every family who’s impacted by the Ballarat mine incident. Tonight will be a long night for them and for the entire community.

‘In 2023, there were 521 suppression orders made in Victoria.

But in the more populated NSW, there were only 133.

That’s about four times as many suppression orders in a state with less people.

Clearly there is a problem.’

The rumour around Spring St was Vic Libs would look to make changes after Dunkley… I never thought that meant the very NEXT day.

COS gone - Media director gone.

Tried to put questions to the Premier today about crime in Melbourne only to have a State Goverment media advisor purposely trap myself and my crew in a lift so we couldn’t approach her. Twice I told the advisor to step back. Ignored both times.

Do you live in the circled area? You’re being urged to leave your home tonight or as early as possible in the morning ahead of tomorrow’s bushfire risk. 7NEWS Melbourne

My colleague Paul Dowsley spotted this car driving without a wheel and gave chase.

Sparks from the driver’s rim had allegedly caused spot fires in the area.

When the man ditched the car and fled -Paul ran after him - alerting a local who stopped him. Superb work Paul Dowsley
