Australian election campaign goes off script as Scott Morrison accidentally tackles child
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has received a hero’s welcome at the Devonport Strikers football club - even after accidentally shoulder charging one of the club’s young players. Morrison shed his suit jacket and got in amongst it moments after arriving, showing off some not-so-fancy footwork as the children cheered and one declared him “better than Ronaldo”. At least until he accidentally tackled eight-year-old Luca Fauvette, who was unsighted on his left. After kicking the ball around for a bit, Morrison addressed the children - and their mums and dads - in the club’s rooms.

Bowie v Elvis: How rock stars took over Cannes
Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, David Cronenberg, K-Stew. The Cannes organisers have certainly rallied the A-list troops for the rabidly anticipated 75th edition of the film festival, which kicks off today. After last year’s Covid instalment – an understandably muted, half-mast affair – the promise this year is a full blast of Cannes delirium, with rumoured controversies, proper parties and paparazzi galore. If this suggests a rocking good time, selectors are tripling down on that threat with air-guitar largesse, by unveiling a hat-trick of high-profile features about music legends: Elvis Presley, David Bowie and Jerry Lee Lewis. The latter two are documentaries, while Elvis is a full-blown jukebox biopic from Baz Luhrmann , who hasn’t made a film since 2013’s Cannes curtain-raiser The Great Gatsby. First up is Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind, a breezy-looking, 73-minute portrait of one of rock ’n’ roll’s original wild men, whose career nose-dived when he married his 13-year-old … [Read more...] about Bowie v Elvis: How rock stars took over Cannes
