This has to stop. Violence and hate has no place in the wake of the Christchurch tragedy. A 17 year old protestor hit, kicked and jumped on, after egging
@fraser_anning
Just spent 20 minutes consoling my crying 9 year old who is a major Steve Smith fan after he watched the press conference. Encouraging him and all kids to write Steve a letter telling him how much you love and admire him.
My husband has lost his dear Mum to Covid and some cruel heartless people are questioning if it’s a hoax or if she even had the virus as she was double vaccinated. Appalling.
Surprised and humbled that
@stevesmith49
has taken time to contact my son directly to personally apologise for making him so upset. He’s told Darcy that he’s glad he his support.
We’ve all adapted to massive changes throughout this wretched pandemic. We’ve accepted backflips on bad decisions. The Rapid Antigen Tests must be provided free and must be easier to access. How can we manage this thing if we can’t get PCR or RAT tests easily and drama free?
For those criticising
@JoeBiden
for his manner of speaking, worth noting he’s managed a stutter his entire life. Stumbles often emerge in times of stress or tiredness.
To be clear -
@stevesmith49
did not ask to have his message to my son made public. It is not part of a PR campaign. I perhaps should have left it as a personal note but I thought gave some insight into the man that Steve is and I did run it past him to make sure he was Ok with it
Totally done with the self righteous fools telling shop workers, police, medical staff etc that they have “rights” and don’t need to wear a mask in areas where it’s mandated they should. Wear. The. Mask.
To those who comment that I “look so different” when I post pics without the full TV hair and makeup - no sh** Sherlock! An hour with a professional hair and makeup artist is time well spent for good reason. Always feels like such a backhanded insult.. Au naturel is ok too tho..
For those directing hate and vitriol my way for reporting the Galaxy exit poll results which turned out to be wrong - I did not CONDUCT the poll. As a journo I was REPORTING the poll results. Most polls got it wrong. Not sure how I’m personally responsible...
‘Freedom Day’?? GET REAL!! Disgraceful scenes in Sydney and Melbourne potentially spreading this virus further. You want freedom? Stay home and get vaccinated!

I sure did. Compassion and forgiveness as well. What Steve did was wrong but he’s owned his mistake and his punishment. I admire him for that.

No Ray - I am a journalist - NOT a mouthpiece for any political party. I simply question politicians and hold them to account. It's not OK to be so nasty toward me for simply doing my job. What YOU have written is rude and disrespectful - regardless of the colour of your own hair

“My personal nightmare” is how
@GladysB
describes her “stuff up” of a personal relationship with Daryl Maguire. She’s frank, human. Could this not just save her - but endear her MORE to voters?
What a joke from

When a dad works hard he gets a pat on the back. When a mum works hard she gets a guilt trip. The dodgy double standard that’s seen my mate

Stopped at traffic lights. Spot the driver in the car next to me reading what I thought was a large book - was in fact a Gregory’s street map. Who uses these anymore?

Thanks for the wardrobe feedback Leon - I'll pass it on to our stylists:
"Can you please stop dressing Deb in sleeveless clothing every freakin day. No body wants to see scaley old arms on Deb.
NO BODY"
Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft have asked for our forgiveness for the cheating scandal. My thoughts on the lessons for all of us - particularly cricket fans like my devastated son.
My least enjoyable daily chore? Coming up with ideas for and making dinner that won’t be greeted with yuk by at least one member of the family. There - I’ve said it! Now what to make tonight??
It’s my last show today as Host of Afternoons on

Glad to see listeners are liking our show - Afternoons now the number 1 talk radio show on the number 1 station in Sydney.
@2GB873
Congrats to my colleagues too.
Just informed by the owner of the house where we spent Christmas that homes in Bendalong and Manyana on the South Coast have been saved - with all surrounding bush gone. Unbelievable.

I never liked homework as a kid and I dislike it even more as an adult trying to help my kids! I know it’s important but how do you juggle 3 little people, after school activities, dinner, bath, general chaos AND homework????
Tomorrow one of my fave ppl in the world starts a new chapter - host of Arvos on the number 1 radio station in Aus 🙌

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for gracing our screens.
You've repaid us endlessly

It’s more important than ever in this pandemic to get information to listeners - and to deliver much needed good news when we get it! I’m chuffed people are enjoying what they’re hearing with a 4.2 jump in Sydney ratings taking Afternoons to Number 1!
@2GB873
🙏
Don’t be sucked in by a badly written and photoshopped scam article doing the rounds on Facebook.
I have NOT left the Nine Network to flog face cream. It’s a complete fabrication.
Nice try scammers but hopefully the ACCC can track you down and stop any more lies like this.
I'm back on deck - a little unsightly with shingles still blistering away on my face - but thank goodness it's radio! Tune in from midday for Afternoons! Shingles is more common than you thing so I've learned...
Ah the joys of social media. No my hair wasn’t “done” for my interview with senatorpaulinehanson - nor was my makeup the full tilt. I literally just jumped on a plane with no time. I know…
Ratings day and I’m so pleased Afternoons listeners are enjoying the show. If you haven’t tuned in yet - as Molly would say - do yourself a favour! Testament to my hard working team that we’re Number 1.

Just saw a girl around 8 years old catch her first fish. After chucking it back in as it was too small, her beaming Dad asked “was that good?” Her reply - “too right!” Perfect!
Nice way to round out a big year with Afternoons as Number 1 talk show on the Number 1 station in Sydney! Congrats to my colleagues and team, and huge thanks to listeners. Merry Christmas!!
