Opinion | Reform to protect whistleblowers is long overdue. Just ask voters. Kieran Pender crikey.com.au/2025/06/02/whi…

For Guardian Australia; In the end, Football Australia got their man; Joe Montemurro is the coach of the #Matildas and Tom Sermanni can finally have a rest. They couldn't have done better. He's the right coach. Even if it took nearly a year to get here. 🔗: theguardian.com/football/blog/… .


"I’m not too interested about being the 'best of the rest', I want to be the best of the best." Exclusive interview with the Brighton boss Dario Vidosic on his first year in the WSL, Brighton's fifth-placed finish, and his vision for #bhawfc. #BarclaysWSL theguardian.com/football/2025/…
