Scott Ludlam on Julian Assange

For 31 years, there has been a rivalry – drawing on a divide so inherent and base – that it pits mate against mate.

We’re not talking about State of Origin, we’re talking about the Reclink Community Cup.

The football contest began in Melbourne, but is now held in cities across the country – with the Rockdogs, a team of not-so-athletic musicians, taking on the Megahertz, a band of various music media personalities. The winner claims the bragging rights.

Today, 2024 co-captain of the Rockdogs Anna Stewart will read her story, ‘Reclink Community Cup’.

Over 90 years ago, a swiss astrophysicist theorised there was an unseen, unobservable force that sits behind the universe we know.

He called it ‘dark matter’, and today we’re not much closer to understanding it than he was.

But that could be about to change, as a group of Australian researchers are part of our most promising effort yet to uncover the nature of this unseen force

Today, Atticus Bastow will read his piece, ‘The search for dark matter’ from The Saturday Paper.

Today, journalist Martin McKenzie-Murray reads his piece from this weekend’s edition of The Saturday Paper.
