Just days after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry debuted a joint video where they appeared happy and at ease with each other, a television host calls the couple’s relationship a “monstrous modern tragedy.” They believe the couple is “two people who threw it all away” and are paying the price for walking away from royal life. Here are all the details.

It’s easy to forget that, back in the late 90s, David Beckham was something of a pariah. Having waved a leg at an Argentinian opponent, the Manchester United star had perhaps cost his country dearly at the France World Cup, and on returning home, was met with burning effigies and irate headline writers.
Beckham figured out how to ride the wave of outrage and restore his place in the hearts of the nation. But over in Australia, for the man often dubbed the Aussie David Beckham thanks to his ability to transcend his sport, Adam Goodes went through an ordeal that wasn’t too far removed from that of Becks. Only it was much, much worse.
Goodes is an Aboriginal Australian, who, in 1997, just a few months before Beckham’s fateful kick, was drafted into the Aussie Football League side, Sydney Swans, where he became one of the most popular players around.

Turns out, “The Australian Dream” is more similar to the American Dream than we might realize — and the obstacles to achieving it are all too familiar as well. In both countries, idealistic conversations about opportunity and equality quickly butt up against the realities of racism. And yet, for many, as soon as the R-word comes out, the conversation shuts down, which is why examining the situation on foreign soil — through the upsetting case of Aussie rules football star Adam Goodes in Daniel Gordon’s smart, solutions-oriented essay film — serves as such a great learning tool for audiences on the other side of the globe.
Australian rules football may be the field on which this particular story unfolds, but this is no straightforward sports doc. Gordon uses blockbuster tools — pairing bold visuals with the kind of thundering sound design that makes your joints rattle — to turn this well-organized sociology lesson into a more visceral cinematic experience.

The story of Afl superstar and Australian of the Year-recipient Adam Goodes should resonate for Americans who’ve been following the crusade of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. From his minority background, stalwart fight against injustice, and the resulting sports-wide fan backlash—their similarities are endless. The people loved Goodes because he left everything on the field and checked every “gladiator” box as far as playing through debilitating injuries to carry a team on his back towards a championship. They loved him so much that they initially let him have a soapbox to speak-up for the aboriginal community of which he’s a member. This was his incentive to score. Bleed for us first and then champion the unfortunate. But you better not dare place their ills at our feet.

In 2002 she starred in a classic Australian film. In a rare – and shocking – interview, the actor explains what happened next
Rabbit-Proof Fence was the film that brought one of the most shameful episodes in Australia's history to the attention of the world. "Not since the last shots of Schindler's List have I been so overcome with the realisation that real people, in recent historical times, had to undergo such inhumanity," wrote the late, revered American film writer Roger Ebert of the acclaimed picture.
At its centre was a single performance by an 11-year-old Aboriginal girl, an untrained actor from the Kimberley. Everlyn Sampi played Molly Craig, who was mercilessly stolen from her mother in 1931 and removed to a mission. Craig escaped with her sister and cousin following the fence, which bisected Australia, for 2,400km, to return home.
Critics lauded her. "Sampi rarely faces the camera; her gaze eludes us, but...

Paul Bongiorno replaced as face of Ten’s Meet The Press
Ratings-hungry Ten Network is going into a partnership with News Ltd to expand its Meet The Press program – but the new version will be less news-led and more lifestyle.
The Sunday morning political program, hosted for two decades by Paul Bongiorno, will now be fronted by former Sky News and Breakfast presenter Kathryn Robinson.
Veteran Bongiorno will remain a contributor to the program, but not on a weekly basis.
Meet The Press will also be expanded to one hour, diluting its political-interview focus with sport, lifestyle and entertainment to fill the extra 30 minutes.
A Ten spokeswoman said production of the program was being outsourced “to be more cost effective.”
It’s new executive producer will be Kylie Merritt, whom joined News Limited as head of video in August last year.

Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has threatened to dump her stake in Fairfax Media if “unsuitable conditions” over non-involvement in the company’s editorial direction are not removed. Rinehart now owns nearly 20% of the company and is seeking seats on the board. If she suddenly sold her stock, it would be likely to put Fairfax’s share price – which is already trading close to an all time low – in a further plunge downwards.
Update: Shortly after opening today, Fairfax shares dropped to 53c, the lowest in the company’s history.
(Note: This story originally stated that Rinehart had increased her stake in Ten. In fact, today’s update to the Asx confirmed her increased stake as a result of the company’s fund raising.)
Fairfax’s key mastheads include the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Until now, Rinehart has said almost nothing about her intentions although it has been widely...

Former editor-in-chief of The Age Andrew Jaspan argues that Australia is just days away from suffering a major blow to its media plurality if mining billionnaire Gina Rinehart successfully takes control of Fairfax Media.
The next two weeks will be defining moments for Australia. It’s when Fairfax is likely to morph into Gina-fax.
On Tuesday Gina Rinehart, the world’s richest woman, is expected to confirm that she has acquired up to 19.9% of Fairfax. The current Board, led by ex-Woolworths and now Walmart director Roger Corbett, is expected to raise the white flag in their efforts to ward off Rinehart’s bid for control. Rinehart is believed to want two or three seats on the board, and control of the Fairfax’s editorial positioning. And what she wants she can afford to buy.
Running in parallel, Fairfax will announce this week one of the most radical restructuring of its metropolitan mastheads,...
