Glimpse Of Sydney City

 Steve Tickner's sleep deprivation was crushing him, but he knew he had to stay awake — because the dead of night was when the police in Yangon were conducting their sweeps.  Steve was a wanted man and needed to be alert to the sound of barking dogs — the first sign he could be in trouble. If the authorities found him, they would have arrested him and probably tortured him. The 67-year-old faced dying in a dark cell thousands of kilometres away from his family in Australia.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-06/inside-steve-tickner-desperate-escape-from-myanmar/102154628

 Alysha Connor has many happy memories from attending the Sydney Royal Easter Show, but this year, her family isn't going. The mother-of-two from Sydney's hills district usually takes her two young children every year and grew up going to the show herself. Ms Connor said over the years she felt the experience had become increasingly expensive and commercialised, and she could no longer justify the day trip amid a rising cost of living.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-06/sydney-royal-easter-show-cost-of-living/102191046

 Even before their injury list became more crowded than the train home from the Easter Show, the Bulldogs would have been up against it on Good Friday.  It's been a long time since they tasted victory over the Rabbitohs in the annual fixture. Since 2017, they've lost every Good Friday match, often in disheartening fashion. So now, being just a few injuries in the forwards away from hoping there's a big unit loitering in the front bar of the Canterbury Leagues Club, winning Friday's clash with South Sydney seems like a tall order for Cameron Ciraldo's side. Throw in a short, five-day turnaround between the last round's golden point victory over North Queensland and it seems as though the defeats of the past and the bad luck of the present are conspiring against them.

 Chris Dahlitz has spent more than a decade advocating for changes to how coercive control is dealt with. The campaigning started in 2006 after he witnessed a person psychologically harming another person. He said the consequences of coercive control could have far-reaching impacts, leading to estrangement of people, while sometimes leading to violent altercations. Mr Dahlitz did not want to reveal too much detail about his experience out of concern for legal action by other parties. He said he had once tried to get a person exhibiting coercive control a mental health assessment through psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health triages and even a church, but had no luck because the person had not agreed.

 For one-year-old Eli Coulter, life-saving treatment for his leukaemia was made possible with the help of his south coast NSW community. When the residents of Moruya heard that the baby had been diagnosed with the rare Philadelphia chromosome cancer gene and needed urgent bone marrow transplant surgery, they came to the rescue. The community, based about 300 kilometres south of Sydney, raised well in excess of the $20,000 target for his family to cover the travel and living expenses.
