A celebrity being spotted in Byron Bay isn't a rare occurrence. But what about in the Hunter Valley, Canberra or Broken Hill. This is why you might spot a Hollywood celebrity in your main street.

Some good news! The Senate today passed my motion calling on the government to require streaming giants services like Netflix, Stan and Amazon to support, promote & fund Australian made stories, films and shows. They want Aussie audiences and cash, they need to back our stories

God, how I wish I could go to a movie tonight. Popcorn, Junior Mints, big old soda, sitting in the third row and watching some action flick or goofball comedy. I'd love that.

Detailed plan of how French cinema are likely to re-open - with 'decontainment' as they call it, starting 11 May and leading to cinemas possibly re-opening 1 July. Realistic and thought-through, assuming no second wave surge. lnkd.in/ekTNwuA

"Viruses exist in a realm where colour has no meaning", so why do we keep seeing vivid imagery of #COVID19? Dr @SimonWeaving helps explain why embracing grey can reduce fear and anxiety surrounding viruses. bit.ly/2wF8wPx
