Standing in his field, I can assure you he is absolutely huge. | | | | Gjermund Roesholt says he was staying in a remote part of Canada's wilderness with his partner and 10-month-old daughter when he shot a grizzly bear that charged as he was laying traps. He then returned home and made a tragic discovery. | | | | In attempting to defend himself, Michael Clarke accidentally personifies the points Gerard Whateley and an independent review made about the problems within Australian cricket. | | | | Indigenous Australians should have a voice to parliament and the government should consider supporting the body, a bi-partisan committee says in its report being tabled in Parliament today. The recommendations come despite Scott Morrison's rejection of the concept. | | | | There were plenty of incredible images of yesterday's storms in Sydney, but this wasn't one of them. Here are the fake images you might have shared accidentally. | | | | The notorious recorder has been feared by parents and called an "instrument of torture". But what has this instrument given us that we might not realise? | | | | Get ready for a hot and dry summer, with the bureau expecting warmer-than-normal days and nights for most of the country. | | | | Awkward banter with Keith Urban draws an uncomfortable reaction from the crowd, sparking debate about international artists being brought to Australian awards shows. | | | | In a leaked email, the unsuccessful Liberal candidate for the inner Melbourne seat of Albert Park declares that defeated Liberal leader Matthew Guy was "unelectable", and says traditional Liberal voters turned away from the party in droves over policy. | | | | Three police officers are jailed for up to 49 years for the murder of a 17-year-old high school student, in the first such convictions in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. | | | | The lines of red trees drew comparisons to the horror film The Shining and the dystopian classic The Handmaid's Tale, but Melania Trump says they look fantastic and invites everyone to come and see them. | | | | The subcontractor building Sydney's light rail network says it would never have taken on the project if it had been given documents showing the extent of underground utility work involved. | | | | Independent MP Kerryn Phelps will introduce a bill to remove asylum seekers from Nauru, as the Federal Government confirms more than 40 children have already been brought to Australia. | | | | When a bushfire threatened the Queensland town of Mount Larcom last night, it brought 20-metre-high flames fanned by "tornado" winds. Today the town is scorched and covered with black ash, but it looks like all the buildings were saved by firefighters. | | | | A judge accepts a woman was mentally ill and had delusions that her former partner was going to kill her and her children, finding her not guilty of murder on mental health grounds. | | | | Bureau of Meteorology data reveals which Sydney suburbs were in the firing line during yesterday's storms, and how 23km was all it took for some areas to escape. | | | | The organisation has been listed as an extremist group by the FBI, and a petition has been delivered to Parliament calling on its founder to be banned from entering the country. | | | | If you were hoping for a different outcome at the end of season two, you might be in luck, because author Margaret Atwood has announced she will publish a sequel next year to the original novel, which was an instant bestseller in 1985. | |  |
