Home and Away teases a dramatic new story as the show takes a short break in Australia

Image
Home and Go spoilers to follow. Australian viewers are completely without a soap fix this week, because not only Neighbor finished for good, but Home and Go is off the screen too. Thank goodness for Summer Bay fans, rest for Home and Go is a short one, and the show will return to Australian screens next Monday (August 8) – and is likely to bring some serious drama with it when it returns. A new trailer released on the official Instagram page for the soap teases what will happen when the show returns on August 8, and ominously teases that “a friend is about to fall”.

'All Blacks pack has dented': New attacking coach Jason Ryan takes control

Jason Ryan was enjoying a cold beer in Fiji when All Blacks coach Ian Foster called and asked if he wanted to jump into the rugby furnace. A few days after Foster asked him to put steel into the All Blacks pack after John Plumtree was sacked, Ryan stepped down as front coach of the Crusaders and the Fiji national team. Ryan, who has been in Fiji for the Pacific Nations Cup, said he must seize a golden opportunity to help the All Blacks turn their fortunes around after a 2-1 draw to Ireland. Ella Bates-Hermans/Stuff Jason Ryan joined the All Blacks coaching staff after John Plumtree was sacked. But he also had to break the news to his good friend and Crusader boss Scott Robertson, the man who had helped tie the rocket to Ryan’s coaching career. Yes, Ryan said, it was a difficult conversation at first, but he received Robertson’s blessing: “I am a loyal person. I really care,” Ryan said. “He’s done a lot for me. But… he’s really bee...

The Loop: ANZ takes over Suncorp, Rugby Australia issues a lifetime ban, and England braces for its hottest day yet

Image
Hi, over there. It’s Monday, July 18th and you’re reading The Loop, today’s news summary. Brisbane-based banking and insurance company Suncorp has accepted ANZ’s $4.9 billion offer to take over its banking operations — but the deal will take at least 12 months before the deal is finalized, and has several hurdles to work through in the meantime. ANZ is now tasked with raising an additional $3.5 billion in funds to pay for the deal, and will need approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Queensland State Financial Institutions and the Metway Incorporation laws also need to be amended for the takeover to proceed. Provided the deal gets the green light, it would make ANZ Australia’s third-largest bank for home loans, according to analysis from RateCity (using APRA data). The next step is for ANZ to submit a merger authorization application to the ACCC, which is expected to be received by the re...
