Is it possible that Sydney 2000 was Cathy Freeman's second biggest triumph behind the '96 Stawell Gift when she started 54m behind the field and got elbowed in the final straight? If you haven't seen this, you need to.

On the worst day of the bushfires, I saw Gladys say it wasn't the time to talk about global warming. I saw her throw Victoria under the bus re Covid. I saw her dither in locking NSW down which might've softened Delta. I saw ICAC. But keep eulogising.
