tbh if I laid in bed and was spoon fed and didn’t have to communicate, I’d think 10 years minimum!

Aboriginal Actor David Gulpilil who just won Best Actor at Cannes ,based on the photo in the article looks way older then his age of 60.

Seems like a decent bet to go sometime in the next few years.

Gonna grab TWO names for the price of one.

A Labor MP sworn into federal parliament just two weeks ago has vowed to fight on after discovering her cancer had returned.  Peta Murphy, who won the Melbourne seat of Dunkley at the May 18 election, received the unexpected news last week that the cancer was back after five years in the clear.

"While this has come as a shock, my doctor advises me that my condition is treatable and that he expects me to do well with treatment, which I will start in the coming weeks," Ms Murphy said on Thursday.

Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos, who survived a battle with cancer, was among the first to wish her well.

Things not looking good for Tom Long.

Would definitely expect him to QO for DDP mainly due to his regular cast role in Seachange where he was excellent.  Also good in the movie Two Hands which is one of my all-time favourite Australian movies.

Sounds like things have miraculously turned around for Tom Long. Looks like alot of picks have turned to dust.

It always seems so prematurely optimistic when statements such as "X survived a battle with cancer"/"X has been declared cancer-free" are made - especially when it hasn't even been 5 years since their diagnosis.  Even if you survive that long, it hasn't necessarily been cured.  I've known two people in real life who died of their cancer 15+ years after it was first diagnosed (the same type of cancer), despite long periods of remission and apparently 'successful' treatment in between (one died 18 years later; the other, 21 years later).

hmm, this story/book's reporting may be dated, as he was described having a "65th birthday bash recently," he's been 66 since july

Former Tasmanian politician and AFL advocate John Bennett has died, aged 77.

Mr Bennett was Tasmania's attorney-general from 1986 to 1989 and a member of the state Liberal Party.

He earned the nickname "Bull Bars" for his controversial views and opinions, and was also the president of the Tasmanian Australian National Football League in the 1980s.  Mr Bennett passed away yesterday after a long battle with illness.

This is the second John Bennett in the DL archives.  Some guy in 2015.

Australian rockstar John Farnham has been rushed to hospital, forcing him to postpone his upcoming New Zealand shows.

The 69-year-old was scheduled to open for the Eagles in Dunedin on Saturday, before performing his own shows in Wellington and Auckland next week.

But it has now been revealed the legendary singer has been hospitalised with a severe infection after having minor surgery two weeks ago.

Updating:
He suffered a severe health scare earlier this year that forced him to cancel several shows. Now John Farnham has opened up about the ordeal.

Speaking to the Herald Sun, the iconic Australian singer who recently turned 70, spoke candidly about the incident.

"I had a severe kidney infection, I was very dehydrated."

Will admit to being surprised to learn Mary Ward (Mum in Prisoner) is still alive aged 104. Did a thing to celebrate the shows 40th anniversary earlier this year.

I can confirm Anne Phelan aka Myra Desmond has died aged just 71. https://tvtonight.com.au/2019/10/vale-anne-phelan.html Very sad news. It's hard to believe she was only in her 30s when she was in Prisoner!
