Finally met Mr Democracy Manifest Jack Karlson…33 years after reporting his famous arrest at that Chinese restaurant in Brisbane. What did we order?? A succulent Chinese meal of course!!! #DemocracyManifest #SucculentChineseMeal #icon #legend youtu.be/nSbnckp7sOs?si…

Off to enjoy a succulent Chinese banquet in the sky…. Mr Democracy Manifest… farewelled at a funeral with friends, family, fans… and even crims and cops. Farewell and tata Jack Karlson… you made us laugh

#BREAKING Court ruling has revealed identity of Lindt Cafe hero cop who shot terrorist Man Monis. Just 2 weeks before the 10th anniversary, Ben Besant wins his fight to lift a suppression order and talk about that night: the tragedy, the fall-out, the mistakes & the road back.

So proud to have helped Ben with this fight. He lost his career, his marriage, his home… but got his identity back. Please watch his story this Sunday night 7PM on Spotlight, it’s important.

I was deeply moved during my FaceTime call with Casey Gadaleta, an incredible Aussie who lost his leg after stepping on a mine while on the frontlines in Ukraine. Casey’s story of bravery is inspiring. Last year, after seeing heartbreaking footage of Russian attacks on children

Aussie volunteer soldier who stepped on a landmine in Ukraine details the horror of losing his leg…but he says he wants to go back. What is driving him? Exclusive interview, but warning: confronting pix youtu.be/VcZkDRG01xs?si… via YouTube

The #PopeFrancis funeral and burial is complete, now the politics begins. The #cardinals meet today, many for the first time, 80% of them brand new. They deny they’re ‘candidates’ in a ‘campaign’…but there are similarities! #Conclave date should be announced in hours

And conclave set for Wednesday May 7 #conclave #pope

Waiting 2 hours now for a decision on the next #Pope…10s of 1000s of peeps relying not on their iPhones or iPads… but an ancient form of communication: smoke signals! Great to see so many heads looking up, not down. #conclave

Now almost 3 hours for conclave… either the process is moving far slower than the Vatican had expected, or they have a possible Pope, and he’s now getting ready to step on to the balcony and reveal himself to the world #conclave #pope

So…black smoke, no Pope. Crowd scattters. Three hours and 20 minutes…much slower than the Vatican had briefed. If it takes that long, difficult to see how they do four votes in one day… #pope #conclave

Italian media speculation the long conclave session was the result of one of two things - either - a glitch with the vote, forcing a re-count, or the opening address from Cardinal Cantalamessa running 50mins not 15. Expect quicker sessions tomorrow #pope #Conclave2025
