Never heard of Betty Churcher but I have heard of Colleen McCullough (as I am sure most Aussies have) - surely a more prominent Aussie to die in 2015. Still hoping Johnnie Howard (not the actor - I like him) will snuff it this year though :)

Nope, never heard of her and have been in Oz for 33 years. Little Johnnie's heart scare gave me a warm moment. Although he's not on my deathlist he is on my wishlist - perhaps a spin off site with Justin Bieber at the top of the list :) Well, we can all dream can't we.

Another paedophile scandal, this time at the prestigious Knox Grammar school in Sydney:

The headmaster of 30 years, Dr. Ian Peterson (81) is very sorry about all this. Graduates of that school include Hugh Jackman and Gough Whitlam.

Terry Fearnley, former national Rugby coach of Australia dead at 81 after a long battle with cancer:

Google likes to give me lots of australian search results, maybe because my regional settings as a german don't focus on british or american news, as those of Brtis or Americans would.

I think we should just assume that everyone in public life is a peoedophile uinless proven otherwise

And then lock up the lot, 'cause they can't prove they're innocent. Yes, that's progress.

Phillip Vasyli, Australian born podiatrist (I think that's an Americanism), founder of Vionic Group, stabbed to death in Bahamas. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/25/phillip-vasyli-death-police-detain-wife-of-australian-podiatrist-killed-in-bahamas

We just posting every obit found now? Who is this person and if what notoriety are they? None that I see. I appreciate a good wife stabbing death though.

For the record, podiatrist is a foot doctor. What are they called across the pond?

*shrugs* Think Vionic are quite a big company in the world of footwear, secretly I was more interested in the spousal steak knife aspect too! I would have used chiropodist, but there be niceties about descriptions. I've only ever heard of podiatry in non-UK contexts.

You will be hearing a lot about her over the next 48 hours as she has just died: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-31/former-national-gallery-australia-director-betty-churcher-dies/6318888

 

RIP. :(

Some people are just dying to be popular, and in Ms Churcher's case, it won't help.

Sad news, a true legend, will be sadly missed, though not surprising as he looked awful when i last saw him on TV a few months ago.
