The night the 2003 ‘Shockeroos’ beat England to spark a golden era

The defeat meant they didn’t qualify for the 2003 Confederations Cup – intensifying the pressure on coach Frank Farina.

Cameron leads Cats in clinic against Hawks; Alwyn Davey junior and McDonald-Tipungwuti impress

Jack Henry played two periods at full-forward, teaming up with Cameron - who played a bit higher up the ground - and his brother Ollie. Sam De Koning started the match in defence, but was experimented with up forward in the third period. Hawthorn had their own new-look ruck combo, with former Docker Lloyd Meek playing mostly forward supporting No.1 ruck choice Ned Reeves. McDonald-Tipungwuti bolted across the front of the pack, leapt for a contested ball, landed and instantly snapped a goal with his left-foot, his teammates mobbed him with Davey jnr among those quick to his side. There is plenty of talent in Essendon’s team but few players will have the prowess to energise supporters as Davey jnr and McDonald-Tipungwuti in 2023.

Unions call on Albanese to enact immediate ban on engineered stone

The best way to manage a risk in the workplace is to remove it altogether if you can,” Grace said. “I wrote to the then federal government back in 2018 asking them to coordinate a national approach to this issue and consider an import ban. State Premier Dominic Perrottet called for a national response to the crisis. The Australian Workers’ Union’s national secretary Daniel Walton said the conversation needed to extend to adequate protection of all workers facing the risk of silicosis, including those in tunnels and mines. The conversation about a ban needs to happen now, or the other actions won’t happen in time,” Edwards said.
