Yes, thought of it. And have done a lot of research on it. But whole thing needs to be handled very carefully.

Have you ever thought of doing a book on the Frontier Wars Pete? It has been a volatile subject that cries out for a balanced narrative.

No, never came across it. I'd love it to be true, and would have pursue vigorously if I'd had but a whiff of it. Do you remember where you heard it? Anyone else heard that they wanted Elvis to sing at the opening of the Opera House?

It may be just an urban myth, but, but i'll defer to the man that wrote a book about it,. -It sounds familiar tho, doesn't it ?

An interesting trivia story is that they offered Elvis $1m., but the Col. said no..

Great story! Love it. And the first man to perform at Opera House? The great American singer & civil rights activist, Paul Robeson, singing on construction site: "I want to sing for the workers." He sang Old Man River. Among the office workers who came to: PJ Keating, 16 yrs old

Sammy Davis Jnr played at the Sydney Opera House in ‘77. Backstage he handed out $50 notes to staff - ushers, stagehands. At that time ushering was around $5 an hours so very welcome.

Re-jigged. I hesitate to get involved in this, but it seem staggering to me that - beyond Clarkson - after years of sustained viciousness from Piers Morgan towards the Sussexes, Camilla is happy to break bread with him?

🚨 TRUMP’S POLL NUMBERS ARE IN FREE FALL. He’s now polling at just 37–39% approval nationally, while roughly 60% of Americans disapprove. Nate Silver’s average has Trump at a brutal NET –24.3 — his worst rating of this presidency. This isn’t a dip. It’s a political collapse.

.@BarackObama: Trump should be on HGTV. He's building a ballroom, paved over the Rose Garden, put a helicopter pad on the South Lawn, and what's up with the gold? He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory!

My #TFF column. Bring it in tight, Mark Nawaqanitawase. What are you THINKING? smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union…

Mark, we fancy you as the Messiah. Don’t be a naughty boy

You’re about as good a winger as we’ve seen. You do things we’ve never witnessed done on the football field. If you don’t play for the Wallabies next year, you’ll be missed.

I agree. Dylan Pietsch and the whole-hearted way he plays, is just fantastic. I hope he makes his way into the squad at the very least.

Couple of things. Hoping Josh Caneham shows everyone up north how good he is ok this tour. And... Where's Dylan Pietsch? Surely the guy should be there instead of in the Australia A team. Am I missing something?

He says that team culture and support are paramount. Maybe Mark’s experience with the Wallabies under Eddie Jones wasn’t the best example of a supportive culture…just sayin…
