A list-nuff production. Hello there, I'm Matthew Laten, a claimed Australian author and former Prime Minister Bob Hawkes Widow, Blanche Del Pugey has died at the age of 82. A family says the award-winning writer leaves behind a final message, urging people to love one another. A $6 million grant for a golf club in the Prime Minister's electorate is being defended by Anthony Albanyz. The Marigville Golf Club in Sydney got the money through a $560 million dollar Commonwealth programme. Albo Cersy hasn't been to the clubhouse in years, but welcomes funding to fix sewage issues. Meanwhile, the PM won't roll out cutting the tobacco exise, as pressure builds over the booming illegal cigarette trade and tobacco-related crime. And three people have been arrested during an interstate police investigation involving the CFMU. Detectives raided the Union's Brisbane headquarters and properties in Victoria this morning, investigating

alleged corrupting benefits of fences. The CFMU says it will fully cooperate with police. Adam Trillor has called time on his AFL career after 263 games across 16 seasons. The Western Bulldogs midfielder is retiring. After being told, he won't be offered a contract for 2027, with injuries limiting him to just nine senior games over the past two years. And Christian Volpato's availability for the Soca Rooze is in doubt after police confirmed a second positive cocaine test. The 22-year-old was stopped while driving in Sydney, for ball Australia says its process is underway.
