Women's sport has found itself in the peak of the news cycle recently.  

From radio host Marty Sheargold's dismissive comments about the Matilda's to not a single woman to be found on the list of the 100 highest paid athletes, one has to wonder just how exactly we view women's sport.

The latest data from the office for women in sport and recreation might just have the answers.

PM Clarifies Grace Tame Comment & Aussies Urged To Leave Middle East 

They're Australian citizens, but large sections of the public and political sphere don't want to see them come home.

A group of 34 Australians, women known as "ISIS Brides" and their children are trying to return home after living in Syrian camps for years. 

But there are concerns over their arrival back down under, legally speaking though, can we stop them? And should we? 

And in headlines today, The two men arrested yesterday over the alleged abduction and murder of a Sydney grandfather, have been charged; Former cyclist and swimmer Amanda Reid continues to break new ground by becoming the first Indigenous athlete selected for an Australian Winter Paralympics team; US President Donald Trump has broken his own record, delivering the longest State of the Union address in history; Microsoft founder Bill Gates has admitted to having affairs with Russian women while married to Melinda French Gates and has apologised to his staff for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein; The man whose life was made into a movie about his experience with Tourette's syndrome, has apologised to Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo after his tic saw him shout out a racial slur during their appearance on stage at the BAFTAs
