Jock 'passing away' is a bit of a shock. Right before the start of the Masterchef season. Not sure if he timed that deliberately. They're saying it's not suspicious but if it was natural causes they surely would have said heart attack or stroke. Must have been an OD, but just speculation. Very sad for his Masterchef fans and crew.

Charges have been laid.

I wonder if they will be upgraded to manslaughter now.

We will see...what I know is that 12y old mostly of a voiceless community in Qld can repeatively break in, steal a car ,kill people right and left and if caught, the police car chase looks like a Monty python movie, while anyone who threaten self harm is promptly disabled with a bullet in the head.
Australia police:
Strong with the weak, weak with the strong.
Used to be just in Victoria when I arrived.
Now all over Australia.
 
Good morning
Music legend Tony Bennett has died. He was 96. The singer, who had a hit album at the age of 85, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016 and continued to perform until 2021.

Kind regards

Sinead O'Conner lived a complicated life... Dramatic, traumatic, enigmatic. In the end her candle burnt out.:(

Sinead O’Connor: the angelic skinhead for whom love, intelligence and madness were inseparable​

I interviewed Sinéad twice. She was supremely gifted, terrifyingly vulnerable and hilarious – even at her bleakest she’d make you laugh

Nobody could break your heart like Sinéad O’Connor. There was the song, of course – Nothing Compares 2 U. And the video with the single tear falling down her cheek. There was her ethereal beauty; the angelic skinhead. But what broke your heart most of all was the troubled soul – the love, poetry, intelligence, pain and madness, all scrambled and inseparable.

Sinéad O’Connor: ‘I’ll always be a bit crazy, but that’s OK’

Last time I interviewed her, in 2020, she told me she’d been in a psychiatric hospital for the best part of six years. But Sinéad, who died on Wednesday aged 56, would never call it that. She reclaimed the politically incorrect and unsayable, and spat out the words joyously. “I’ve spent most of the time in the nuthouse. I’ve been practically living there for six years.” She stressed that it was her privilege to call it that, not mine. “We alone get to call it the nuthouse – the patients.”

I interviewed Sinéad twice. The thing you always had to question was whether she was a fit state to be interviewed or whether it might be exploitative. The answer was never clear. We had other connections. My friend John went out with her when they were in their twenties. She had a thing for men called John. A few weeks ago he was clearing his house, preparing to move, and he came across a picture of them when they were a couple. She was so young and alive. The picture seemed full of hope and uncertainty.
