I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Richard Morecroft. As the face and the voice of the news of the ABC, Richard became a beloved part of Australian life. Combining a consummate professionalism with an unyielding humanity, Richard was a figure of absolute trust, a warm and familiar presence who guided us through the good times and bad. He loved the arts and was deeply passionate about our natural environment. Nothing completed the picture so delightfully as the time we learned that he used to keep a baby flying fox safe and sound beneath the desk while he was presenting the news. Richard was a great Australian and we were lucky to have him as part of our lives. Our thoughts now are with his partner Alison Mackay. May Richard Morecroft rest in peace.

Bridget McKenzie takes a beating as Clare O’Neil calls out her “magic pudding” claim that LNPs huge cuts to migrant workers will have zero economic impact “Makes no sense. Perhaps that's why u haven't revealed any detail”💥 There never is any detail. Just a pamphlet with slogans

Watching @AngusTaylorMP trying to explain on @730 how and why he would cut aged care workers from overseas to look after our increasingly older population. That might be okay if you’re rich, but everyone else will be expected to look after themselves.

Angus Taylor either doesn't know or doesn't care about the massive impact on the number of aged care workers, nurses and doctors of the Coalition's back-of-an-envelope migration cuts. This isn't a policy it's a shameless dog whistle #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-10-07/f…

Melbourne has been named the world's friendliest city in Condé Nast Traveller's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards. Almost 300,000 travellers took part in the survey, with Melbourne finishing ahead of Porto, Seoul, Lisbon and Amsterdam to claim the top spot. Perth was the only other Australian city to make the top 10, coming in sixth. Sydney, meanwhile, was notably absent from the list. For more from 10 News: 10.com.au/news

More than half of the people living in Kooyong were either born overseas or have a parent who was born overseas. I'm hearing from many of them that the political debate about immigration is making them feel marginalised and othered. Immigration is vital to our economy and our society. It's entirely appropriate that we discuss it sensitively and constructively, but we should also celebrate our migrant history and our diversity.

Sorry. Royal Family are giving mixed messages to survivors and victims of Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles said on 19 February: The police have 'our full and wholehearted support and co-operation' and 'the law must take its course. And now Prince Andrew is sueing his own Brother's police force? Ok. I'm calling utter BS. You can't have both. Survivors are watching."

#auspol #abc730 So Jeff Kennet &the Liberals privatised road maintenance in the 90s Because the Private Sector always does things better & cheaper Now Victoria has the WORST roads in the country - not even a Freeway to Adelaide &The #Liberals want to use that to get re-elected
