The Great Deflector deflated: Greenwood suffers amnesia to rival Alan Bond

Not since disgraced entrepreneur Alan Bond suffered his famous memory loss in the witness box have we seen anything like the amnesia suffered by Jeremy Greenwood.

Greenwood, 37, is a crucial witness at the Independent Commission Against Corruption’s inquiry into dodgy political donations being washed through his lobbying company.

In an avalanche of “I don’t recalls” and “I don’t knows”, the potential catastrophe of Greenwood’s profound memory lapse finally engulfed The Great Deflector at the end of his third day in the witness box.

Greenwood was reminded that last year, on June 23 and 24, he was grilled at a private hearing where he was warned that it was a criminal offence to discuss his evidence or even disclose that he had given evidence.

An ex-premier's brother and a political lobbyist went to great lengths to avoid a parliamentary inquiry into their alleged corrupt behaviour.

Jeremy Greenwood paid for Jean-Claude Perrottet to fly to Fiji to avoid being summoned to a 2023 inquiry, the former staffer turned lobbyist told NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption on Wednesday.

Jean-Claude Perrottet is the younger brother of Dominic Perrottet, who at the time was NSW's premier and is not accused of any wrongdoing.

Aussie swim great’s gift for Princess Charlotte as royals set Games record

Glasgow: They arrived at Australia’s netball semi-final against Jamaica with little fanfare.

But the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis ended Saturday, local time, having squeezed more Commonwealth Games action – and at more venues – in a single day than probably any spectator over the past 10 days.

In fact, so much did they pack in to such a small amount of time that it would not surprise to discover they’d used the same Tardis that King Charles and Queen Camilla stepped out of at the Games’ opening ceremony.

Though probably not by design, there was a distinct Australian flavour to the royals’ whirlwind visit to Glasgow.

William and Kate bring children to Commonwealth Games netball and cycling events

The Prince and Princess of Wales have brought their three children to watch some of the final sporting events at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Cheering crowds at the city's OVO Hydro were treated to exhilarating performances in the netball semi-finals where the family watched New Zealand's 61-54 win over England.

Known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland, the couple also spent time meeting athletes, staff and volunteers during a slightly blustery visit to the venue on the River Clyde.

They then made their way to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome – where they chatted to British cyclist Dame Laura Kenny and sat one row behind another Olympic cycling champion, Sir Chris.

The great PlayStation blackout – will kids actually have to leave their bedrooms this summer?

Gamers are angry that Sony will be deleting TV shows and films from their libraries as well as getting rid of physical games. Will a boycott make a difference?

This sounds serious. Itâs as serious as things could possibly get. Gamers are going to boycott PlayStation next month.

Why? For the most serious reason of all: to protest against Sonyâs decision to stop producing physical copies of PlayStation games in 2028.

Wait, you can still buy physical copies of PlayStation games? Yes, you can, online and in toy shops and quite often near the sock multipacks at the back of some Sports Direct branches.

"It's a sad decision." Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developers on the end of physical disc production and why they pushed for a physical release despite the drawbacks

Interview with Sandfall Interactive's core members about what physical games mean to them.

Epic Games Japan and Sandfall Interactive recently hosted a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 postmortem event in Yokohama, Japan, where the developers shared technical insights into the making of 2025’s Game of the Year. Following the event, AUTOMATON sat down with the team and took the opportunity to ask about their thoughts on physical game releases. With PlayStation set to end game disc production in 2028, the developers briefly reflected on why they insisted on releasing Expedition 33 physically despite the added challenges, and discussed why they believe physical editions remain important to video games as a medium.

Broncos great’s brutal message to Hunt; Bears sign premiership winner — NRL Daily

Broncos legend Corey Parker has made the tough call to tell “great friend” Ben Hunt he should consider retiring at the end of this year.

Hunt has extended with the Broncos on a team-friendly one-year deal in June that will see him remain at Red Hill until the end of the year.

The 36-year-old will provide Brisbane with some much-needed experience following the retirement of Adam Reynolds, but the question is whether Hunt will be blocking Brisbane’s younger and more effective players from getting on the field more.

‘Tarnished legacy’ question lingers after costly Hunt moment

Corey Parker has again urged former teammate Ben Hunt to hang up the boots – and one costly moment could be all the proof the Broncos veteran needs.

Hunt has one of the most impressive resumes in the NRL and will finish this year with more than 370 first grade matches to go with 15 Tests for the Kangaroos and another 20 games at State of Origin level for his beloved Maroons.

The 36-year-old’s future has been the topic of much debate this season, especially with Brisbane’s fall from premiers to missing finals.

Parker and many others within the game have questioned whether it’s the right time for Hunt to step away from the sport after years of service.

‘Great since 1291’: World leader’s savage Trump swipe

England enters their FIFA World Cup round-of-16 clash with host nation Mexico as the favourites. They have an incredibly talented side led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, and look to be one of the tournament favourites.

But Mexico has a trump card up their sleeve that will be keeping manager Thomas Tuchel up at night; The Azteca.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup looked like a breakout party for the African football nations.

Nine teams advanced through to the round-of-32 from the continent, showing just how far many countries have come in recent years.

However, of those nine teams, only one has managed to advance beyond that point thus far. Algeria’s elimination at the hands of Switzerland has them as the latest team to fall.

Kaylee McKeown says she will consider her Olympic future after the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

She says the chance to compete at a home Olympics is appealing.

Australian swimming star Kaylee McKeown will not rule out extending her career through to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

The five-time Olympic gold medallist is yet to decide on her future beyond the 2028 Games, which will be hosted by Los Angeles.

McKeown, who is the 50-metre and 200m backstroke world-record holder, has previously spoken about experiencing a mental low after her successful Paris Olympics campaign.

Aussie Olympic champion Kaylee McKeown announces plan to step away from swimming after Los Angeles 2028

The lure of a home Olympics could be the driving force to convince Australian swim star Kaylee McKeown to keep competing.

Five-time Olympic gold medallist McKeown will head to Glasgow in July for what looks set to be her final Commonwealth Games as she mulls on her future beyond the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

Competing at her third Commonwealth Games, the 24-year-old backstroke ace had cited the need for a mental reset.

McKeown — the 50m and 200m backstroke world record holder — has previously spoken about suffering through severe mental lows after her successful Paris Olympics campaign.

In 2024, McKeown became the first swimmer to successfully defend Olympic 100m and 200m backstroke titles and the first Australian to win four individual Olympic gold medals.
