Thompson grabs The Harrovian ride after admiring from afar

The North Queensland cups champion reeled off 11 straight victories through 2019 and 2020 and Thompson admits he couldn’t help but admire him when he made the trip to Brisbane to win the Listed Bernborough Plate last year. A year on and Thompson is in the saddle in the same race as he looks to replicate what the horse was able to do 12 months earlier. “I followed him the day he won at Eagle Farm which was early on in his time with Toby and Trent Edmonds,” Thompson said. “Any horse like that, obviously you’re focusing first and foremost on your own horse, but it was like when we were racing alongside Incentivise when the spruik started on Ipswich Cup Day then he bolted in at Eagle Farm before heading south.“It is exciting to be around them and you appreciate those animals, you take note of what they do pre race and what not.“There is no rule to a good horse but a lot of the good ones are so calm and you can tell they are amazing athletes, it’s even nicer when you can get aboard one.”Whi...

Albanese slams Morrison government over backflip on booster shot intervals

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has accused the Morrison government of passing off Labor's suggestions as its own as the Health Minister announced a reduction to booster shot intervals. It comes after Health Minister Greg Hunt announced COVID vaccine booster intervals will be brought forward to four months from January 4 and then to three months on January 31.

"This is a government by echo," Mr Albanese said on Friday. "Labor says something, then we wait a couple of days to hear it back from the government as if it's its own idea. "Labor says something constructive, the government ridicules it and trashes it, then a day or two later they announce it as their own policy and want everyone to acknowledge what a masterstroke it is that they've c...

The TV show the world needs right now

The romantic six-part drama series follows three different family members as they experience love at distinct times of their lives. The somewhat dysfunctional Mathiesons, Clara in her 30s, Glen (60s) and Aaron (20s), are at an emotional crossroads following an unexpected event that forever changes their lives. Bojana Novakovic – I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, Instinct, – is Clara who uses her sharp wit and self-deprecation to hide from the reality that she is now approaching 40, and beginning to fear that her successful career might have come at the expense of her own family.Her first date in the opening episode is hilarious in its “excruciating-ness”.“Polyamory – wow, I barely have time for amory,” she quips to the man, sipping on a massive milkshake as he propositions her at 8.30am in the morning. “I’m done,” Clara vents to her best friend Sascha (Celia Pacquola of Rosehaven, The Beautiful Lie). “I just want one. One grown up man.” Don’t we all Clara.Novakovic is a knockout as the anaesthe...
