 Swimming Australia has released the findings of a report commissioned in June 2021 after explosive allegations by Olympic silver medallist Maddie Groves of the sport's "misogynistic" culture. At the time, Groves announced she was withdrawing from Tokyo Olympic trials as a "lesson to all misogynistic perverts in sport and their bootlickers."

Medical experts suggest there are now many COVID cases not included in the official daily figures due to difficulties in accessing PCR testing.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-05/covid-testing-pcr-delays-rat-test-supply-issues/100738982
