Took my daughter to see Wicked: Feel Good today, and we were the only two people in the cinema who didn't take selfies on our phones during the movie. I think we missed the memo on this.

I'm loving watching Pat Rafter play again tonight. I have so many great memories watching him play the Aussie Open many years ago! 🎾 Watching Rafter, Hewitt, Barty, Federer, and Agassi playing tonight? Priceless! Absolute champions. 👌 #AusOpen

I used to go to the #AusOpen every year. The last time I went...was the last time I will go for the foreseeable future. It's now less about the tennis, more about celebrities with no interest in the sport spruiking products & taking most of the good seats abc.net.au/news/2026-01-2…
