It’s also...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT A young man by the name of Thomas Kowalczyk has today revealed to The Advocate that he can't believe how much everyone's sooking about this news thing.

CLANCY OVERELL  | Editor | CONTACT As Morrison decides to not engage with any media today, even Ash Barty wasn't able to distract the news cycle from the chaos taking place in Parliament House today.
