Moving pictures … it’s a technological marvel!

Oops, I wonder who she was phoning?

Someone in the Sky News newsroom had a wee bit of a nightmare the other morning: the poor bloke doing the weather just before 9.30am on December 5 had to content with a woman making a phonecall, with her mic…

It’s time to vote YES, Aussie

Given the impending postal survey on gay marriage across the ditch, now’s probably a good time to revisit a speech by an obviously well-raised young man who shows that sexual orientation has nothing to do with your value as a…

That personal touch

Now for something completely different. And pretty cool to boot: a wedding. If you haven’t yet seen the viral video of Father Ray Kelly’s surprise, personalised rendition of Hallelujah at the wedding of Chris and Leah, you’re in for a treat.
