For anyone who finds their way onto Today Extra host David Campbell’s Instagram
the one salient detail that will leave their heart warmed is his devotion to his children
David, who is a father of three, shares his kids Leo, born in 2010 and twins Betty and Billy, who arrived in 2015 with his wife and producer Lisa Campbell.
The performer is constantly sharing endearing moments with his clan and gushes over their talents
and wild childlike curiosity with his fans
It’s a wholesome corner of the internet that proves the insurmountable love of a devoted father
In conversation with Now To Love in March 2021
David revealed his refreshingly honest views on parenting and the lessons he has learnt
“It’s such a privilege to raise humans
but I’ve been taught a lot,” said David
“The experience of watching people grow in front of your eyes and help mould them into better citizens is something that is so special
You take it for granted as a parent all the time
but I’m trying to be present and remind myself about how great this time is.”
The singer also opened up about how he navigates the trickier side of raising young children
and he offered some welcomed advice to parents
A lot of people feel a lot of shame that they’re not living up to the expectations of how people parent on Instagram or blogs
or this book says this… But I think we’re slowly letting that go now and just doing our best
We forget how important it is just to be in their life,” he said

Naomi Campbell has been banned from Met Gala following her beef with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Their beef dates back to last September when Met host Anna, 75, dissed the supermodel, 54, onstage during an industry event—calling Cambell someone who is always late.
Campbell defended her position later in front of the crowd, which led to Wintour banning her from the glamourous event being held Monday.
"Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment. You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet," a source told The Sun.
"Anna doesn't forget or forgive. It's no coincidence. If Anna wants you out, you're out. Simple as that."
"Naomi's been a Met staple for decades, so her absence from the list hasn't gone unnoticed. Everyone's whispering and it's Anna's way of reminding who runs the show," the insider added.
Meanwhile, Naomi has recently been downplaying the ban by saying she felt "too old" to attend the fashion event.
"'It is my last. I can't... I'm too old. It's too much for me, the anxiety," the supermodel said in a YouTube video last week, referring to her 2024 gala appearance.
For the unversed, Naomi and Anna's feud sparked at the New York Fashion Week ceremony for Harlem's Fashion Row last September.
Anna, who was leaving the event early herself, accused the supermodel of always being late and left without presenting the gong to Campbell.
"I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late," the Vogue head said onstage.
When the model came in, she was presented the Fashion Icon Award by Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Samira Nasr.
The runway star hit back, saying, "I want to say this. Everything is meant to work out the way it's going to work out. It wasn't my choice to have the other lady. I would much rather have this," Campbell said, gesturing to Nasr.
At the time, Campbell's fans also raised their concerns on social media when the supermodel posted some glimpses of the 17th Annual Harlem's Fashion Row Fashion Show & Style Awards.
A diss comment under her recent post from the night read, "Why are you always late? So disrespectful to everyone. #annawintour" to which, Naomi responded saying, "I was right on schedule for @harlemsfashionrow"
"Get your facts straight! She was on time. Anna obviously wanted to leave early and she did. Bye!" another fan reprimanded the critic in the comments section.
Campbell was also spotted with a mystery knee injury at New York Fashion Week's front row on the same day as Wintour's diss.

Naomi Campbell has recently been disqualified from attending the Met Gala today
May 5 amid her feud with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour
The supermodel has been banned because of a huge error she made negative comment about Met host Anna on stage during an event in September 2024
Anna has the authority to expel Naomi from fashion’s biggest night
which will be held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art
“Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment.”
“You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet,” said an insider
It is pertinent to mention that Naomi had been attending Met for over the years
therefore her absence from the list wasn’t overlooked by the industry
“Everyone's whispering and it's Anna's way of reminding who runs the show,” stated an insider
Naomi on the other hand maintained that she “felt too old to attend the fashion event” to cover her face
Can you imagine?” mentioned the 54-year-old

Global competition and a reluctance to buy pricey wagyu has sliced into Australian Agricultural Company’s profit.
After narrowly missing out on taking home the famed gold plate in season 13, MasterChef‘s Pete Campbell was back for the 2025 season with only one thing in mind – winning
the world had other plans for Pete who was forced withdraw early from the competition
after tragically discovering he has Hodgkin lymphoma
In an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day
the 40 year old father of two reveals the diagnosis “was a complete shock”
“I was concerned about swollen lymph nodes in my neck that were checked and biopsied over a period of more than a year and cleared as not an issue
“Eventually a haematologist suggested removing a lymph node for thorough analysis and this was when the Hodgkin’s lymphoma was discovered,” says the former tattooist of how he first discovered he has the cancer which affects the lymphatic system
a network of tissue that helps the body fight infections
Given I had no other symptoms and felt completely healthy
I asked (kinda begged) the doctor if I could start treatment after the competition
“She told me I’d possibly die and that’s when the severity of the situation really hit me and replaced the disappointment
From there I just wanted to start treatment as soon as possible and get better for my family.”
With the support of his devoted wife Alana
Pete left the show in episode three and started chemotherapy almost immediately
“One week after diagnosis I went in for my first session of chemotherapy
so the turnaround was incredibly quick which was amazing
I was able to bounce back quite easily from the treatment
but it does have an accumulative effect which makes the bounce back harder over time
but I’m reaching the end of treatment now and I’m feeling tip top.”
Telling his two daughters Scout and Lux wasn’t easy
but Pete says he and wife Alana decided to break the news straightaway so that they were fully prepared for everything that might come ahead
“As soon as I received the diagnosis
I explained the situation to Scout and Lux and prepared them that when I lose my hair and feel unwell
“We have kept everything very positive around them and they’ve been great with it all.”
Pete thinks it has been hardest of all for her but she’s been an incredible pillar of strength
for every step of this unfortunate journey
Needing to manage the emotions of the circumstance
taking care of the girls and school is enormous pressure and the way she has handled it is unbelievable,” he says lovingly of his wife
Pete has plenty of experience of being around people battling serious illnesses and it gives him a powerful perspective
“Kids who are battling serious illness are so brave and they don’t feel sorry for themselves
It’s incredibly inspiring and has motivated me to stay as positive and upbeat as possible throughout my treatment.”
Luckily, he’s also had the support of his MasterChef co-stars and judges, with Andy Allen and fellow cook Laura Sharrad reaching out to him on social media
“I’ve received a lot of support from other contestants but also
so much support from MasterChef fans all over the world,” says the self-taught cook from NSW’s Central Coast
who went on to work under Peter Gilmore at Sydney’s Quay restaurant after his first MasterChef experience
“So many people have shared stories of how cancer has impacted them
with some currently going through their own treatment
It’s been really humbling to stay in touch with them and be able to support each other.”
Known for his signature long white-blond locks
one side effect of treatment has been losing his hair and Pete debuted his post chemo buzzcut on social media
joking “New look for my cancer/chemo era… hodgkins lymphoma
Pete says dealing with the change in his appearance hasn’t been easy
I guess in the scheme of things it’s a superficial problem
The person you see in the mirror definitely reflects how you feel – sick and unwell – but doesn’t reflect who you are
it becomes very difficult to feel good about yourself,” Pete tells
As for what’s next for the talented chef
he is keeping a close eye on his scans as doctors assess his need for further treatment
“The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and brighter
I’m so excited to get back to cooking for people and generally I’m just excited to return to normal life and appreciate enjoying all the little things I took for granted,” he says
And more than anything he hopes to return to the MasterChef kitchen one day soon
“This time around ended for me before it even began so I certainly feel like I have unfinished business in the MasterChef kitchen
If I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity again

"I've done a lot of different things in my time, I've enjoyed my life, I've got no regrets about anything I've done."

HE’S the proud driver of the world’s newest Commodore and is raring to use it to put his Super2 rivals to the sword when they enter his home state next week
Hobart product and second-year Walkinshaw Andretti United driver Campbell Logan enters the Tasmania round (May 9-11) fired up after a Sydney shocker
Logan sits 18th in the standings. Neither he nor teammate Matt Hillyer placed higher than 15th in either Sydney Super2 race in February
“Sydney was a super disappointing round,” Logan
who showed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign last year
“As a team we just didn’t quite roll out with a strong enough package and we just never really got on top of it
we learnt where we went wrong and we’re back on a more familiar set-up philosophy for us as a team
“We’ve had a good test day so I think there’s every reason we should be able to bounce back.”
The 21-year-old is armed with a brand-new Supercar: chassis WR 031
a Holden ZB Commodore built in the off-season by WAU
so for my first new car ever to be a V8 Supercar is something not many people can say – especially when you’re racing in Super2,” he said
“I feel very fortunate to be driving the newest Commodore in the world.”
He hopes the car’s third and fourth career races will be a whole lot more successful
and believes he’ll have a leg up going into Symmons Plains
Super2 has not raced at the Launceston bullring since 2018, but Logan does boast a form of V8 experience there from when he took part in the Garry Rogers Motorsport Combine
“I’ve done plenty of laps at Symmons Plains and I’ve been lucky enough to do them in a quite wide range of cars,” he said
“I started my first laps ever in a Hyundai Excel there and I’ve even driven an S5000 at Symmons Plains
“I feel there’s maybe a little bit of an advantage because I’ve been able to test there over the years and have done so many laps
it’s a very simple track on paper but there’s so many little things that you need to get right
“So I’d like to think that I know a few little tips and tricks around there which might be able to help me in Super2.”

Beyond that, he and fellow Tasmanian Lochie Dalton – who just so happens to drive the only other brand-new Supercar in the Super2 field, Tickford’s latest Gen2 Mustang – will have no shortage of support cheering them on.
“It means everything. I haven’t raced at home for a bit over two years,” said Logan.
“It’s really cool, the support I have from not only my sponsor group down here but my friends and family.
“They all know what I’m doing, we always talk about it which is really cool, but they only get to follow me on the TV.
“So for them to be able to come up for the weekend is really exciting, to come and actually see what I talk about and what I’m up to and what they’re always seeing on social media.
“Representing Tasmania, we have a lot of pride as Tasmanians. We take on the mainlanders, if you will. It’s quite a big thing, that rivalry for us.
“We’re not even racing until next week, but to feel that support from home already has been pretty special and it’s something I think I will remember for a long time.”
A big result or two on the Apple Isle would do no harm to Logan’s ambitions of climbing towards the main game.
“This year is all about putting some really solid runs on the board,” said the Toyota 86 graduate.
“I want to be fighting for race wins and podiums and pole positions throughout the whole year.
“Obviously in Sydney we were nowhere near that, which was extremely disappointing, but I still believe that that’s what I’ll be able to do this year, and really show that I do belong in Supercars.”

Fullback Campbell has played twice off the bench since returning from a fractured arm
but will bring composure to Friday's Suncorp Stadium encounter
Prop Massimo De Lutiis is also back in the squad and will come off the bench for some late power in the scrum.
Heremaia Murray will return to the bench for Campbell as the injury-hit Reds attempt to offset the absences of Filipo Daugunu, Matt Faessler, Josh Flook, Josh Nasser, Harry Wilson and Liam Wright.
The Reds lost twice before a bye last week to drop from first to fourth position with six rounds to play.
The Blues sit eighth after a slow start to their Super Rugby title defence, but boast a host of All Blacks stars who ran riot in a thrilling 41-34 win in the corresponding fixture last year.
Reds coach Les Kiss acknowledged the importance of last week's bye to refresh some tired bodies and minds, and that Campbell's smarts would be crucial against the Blues.
"It's a (Blues) team really coming back into form," Kiss said.
"Very wary ... they're a bit up and down by their own admission. They've had to navigate through some choppy waters, so we're going to need to be good."
The Blues will be smarting after an 82nd-minute James O'Connor penalty kick secured the Crusaders a 25-22 win last weekend.
Dalton Papali'i (ankle) and Caleb Clarke (thigh) will miss the clash for the Blues, while Beauden Barrett will come off the bench as he returns from illness.
Scrumhalf Finlay Christie has historically been a thorn in the Reds' side, while Mark Tele'a, Rieko Ioane and Zarn Sullivan will provide the midfield and backline strike.
REDS (1-15): Sef Fa'agase, Richie Asiata, Zane Nonggorr, Josh Canham, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Seru Uru, Fraser McReight, Joe Brial, Tate McDermott (c), Tom Lynagh, Tim Ryan, Hunter Paisami, Dre Pakeho, Lachie Anderson, Jock Campbell
Replacements: George Blake, Alex Hodgman, Massimo De Lutiis, Angus Blyth, Ryan Smith, John Bryant, Kalani Thomas, Heremaia Murray
BLUES (1-15): Joshua Fusitu'a, Kurt Eklund, Angus Ta'avao, Patrick Tuipulotu (c), Josh Beehre, Cam Christie, Anton Segner, Hoskins Sotutu, Finlay Christie, Harry Plummer, Mark Tele’a, AJ Lam, Rieko Ioane, Cole Forbes, Zarn Sullivan

Expressions of interest are now open for tenants for the Campbell Arcade shopfronts
The beloved and historically significant Campbell Arcade has been closed for nearly 3 years while work was underway to connect Flinders Street Station to the new Town Hall Station
When the Metro Tunnel opens later this year
Campbell Arcade will become the point where passengers transfer between these two stations
crews undertook upgrade and restoration works
This includes the shopfronts that made it such an iconic destination for Melburnians and visitors alike
Campbell Arcade was the first major public construction project in Melbourne after World War II and was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register in a revision to the Flinders Street Station listing in 2015
Completed in time for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics
The expressions of interest process and leasing of the 8 shopfronts will be managed by Cushman & Wakefield on behalf of Metro Trains

Seth Campbell has become the youngest Richmond player to score multiple goals across the first four rounds of a season for 30 years
The exciting small forward’s impressive two-goal display in the Round 4 clash with reigning premier Brisbane at the MCG took his 2025 tally to nine
He kicked two goals in the Tigers’ Round 1 victory over Carlton
two again in Round 2 against Port Adelaide and an AFL career-high three v St Kilda in Round 3 before Saturday’s two-goal haul
Campbell was aged 20 years and 97 days when he completed that goalkicking feat against the Lions
Richmond Media caught up with Seth Campbell following the Tigers loss to the Lions
You have to go all the way back to 1995 to find a younger Richmond player to register multiple goals in the first four rounds of a season
That player was Tiger great Matthew Richardson
when he booted multiple goals for the fourth time at the start of the ’95 season
Richardson kicked two goals in Richmond’s season-opener against Fremantle
two in Round 3 v Hawthorn and four in Round 4 v North Melbourne
Although Richardson was younger than fellow Taswegian Campbell by 61 days
has a long way to go to catch Richardson with regards to the number of times scoring multiple goals in the first four rounds of a season
Richmond coach Adem Yze acclaimed Campbell in his press conference following the match against Brisbane
eight score involvements and 250 metres gained
The young Tiger forwards put on a show during the Round 4 clash against Brisbane
He needed a week off because he hadn’t played 18 games in a row before,” Yze said
“He was still learning the caper and took a massive step forward
and then this year he’s taken another step
“He looks like a quality small forward – potent
“Today I couldn’t unsee him getting up the ground

In a statement released on Tuesday, the FPRC found Paisami "guilty of committing a dangerous tackle in contravention of Law 9.13".
"The FPRC upheld the citing issued to Paisami and determined the mid-range entry point of six weeks/matches was appropriate," the statement reads.
"In light of the player accepting he committed an act of foul play as well as mitigating factors such as an exemplary disciplinary record, the FPRC applied the full 50 per cent reduction in sanction."

Paisami has been given permission to apply to take part in World Rugby's Coaching Intervention Programme as a substitute for the final match of the sanction, meaning he could potentially return for the Saturday March 15 derby between Queensland and New South Wales.
Boom teenager Dre Pakeho shapes the likeliest to partner Josh Flook in the midfield this week against the Force though Reds coach Les Kiss will consider Filipo Daugunu and Lachie Anderson as centre options.
"It's unfortunate for us. We certainly feel for Hunter ... we asked for an extension about how we could approach this because we were keen to protect the situation and fight it," Kiss told reporters on Tuesday.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Super Rugby Pacific (@superrugby)
"However time pressures get on top of you and we probably didn't want to take the risk and go further with it.
"We do have good options there to cover the situation for us. It's great to have guys like Filipo who can cover 12, Lachie Anderson can cover 12 and Dre Pakeho who's done a good job for us."
Kiss also confirmed four-cap Wallaby Jock Campbell was unavailable for selection this weekend following an injury to his right wrist/forearm against Moana Pasifika.
Campbell, 29, is consulting specialists this week however it's understood Queensland could miss him for both away fixtures against the Force and Crusaders.

Current issue, Podcasts, NewslettersDiplomatic insolenceby Morgan Campbell SocietyRemembering lessons in the art of derailing and the power of obfuscation at a Year 10 Model United Nations day
the Year 10 students at my school in Newcastle were invited to apply for two spots as delegates to a University of Sydney Model United Nations day
Even at a selective school full of bumptious twerps
I was bumptious enough to see this as an exciting opportunity
was to select our preferences for which countries we wanted to represent in a mock Security Council
It was his destiny to become school captain
cite “leadership qualities” on his CV and make a fortune somewhere
I deactivated my LinkedIn a few years ago (after a friend and I stopped using it to add as many fringe first-grade rugby league players of the ’90s and early 2000s as we could)
so I don’t know what Henry actually went on to do
My own aura was more Future Vexatious Litigant
Most of my exposure to Persian culture had come through ads for Rahmani’s Rug Gallery
which seemed to be perpetually closing down
that Iran hasn’t actually been a member of the UN Security Council since 1956
I hadn’t taken the time to discover that in 2006 the Iranian government had introduced a quota system to limit the number of women attending university
I didn’t know that a few months after my turn in his fictional diplomatic service
president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would say that there were no homosexuals in Iran
or that he had repeatedly called the Holocaust a myth
you would only have to be half as lippy as me in criticising any of these things to end up in prison for a long time
thanks mostly to the books and films of Michael Moore
was that the United States was wrong most of the time
I was clear that it had disgraced itself in the Middle East and that America was a shambles of bigotry and guns and inequality
Bush era offered a bounty of contradictions for the eager young blusterer to point to and say
“What about that?” With an approach no more detailed or nuanced than asking “Who are they to say who gets to have nuclear weapons?” and “What happened to Saddam’s WMDs?”
anti-authority (but not anti-authoritarian) duty
I agreed with Henry that we would put France as our first choice
as long as we could put Iran as our second
it seems France had been quite a popular selection and Iran less so
because about a fortnight before the event we were informed that we would be getting our second choice
and after some time reviewing the rules and procedures
and the notes the organisers sent us about topics to be discussed
had come over to make common cause in finding the meeting point
but I was still a few minutes away from finding out that all the biggies were there
and that me and Henry were in fact the only public school team in our session
Maybe sociologists were watching us through a two-way mirror
a selective school that I was lucky to go to
but it wasn’t hugely exceptional as selective schools go
Had a public school been deliberately selected to take on the blazers
we would not have been the obvious challenger
I had approached the day as a chance to have a few squabbles and to be contrary
I don’t remember whether people had started saying “network” as a professional verb by 2007
My priorities shifted somewhat when two girls in blazers spotted the flags on our name tags
and said that they were the Russian delegation and that they would be supporting us when we got in there
the equivalent of “I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden
They were from Darlinghurst’s Sydney Church of England Girls’ Grammar School
where the tuition fee for Year 10 this year will be $46,004
My family once had our phone cut off because we couldn’t pay the bill
combined with the fact that getting to the event had taken me 45 minutes in the car with my mother
gave me a claim to being both literally and figuratively from the wrong side of the tracks
I hadn’t heard “Common People” by Pulp at that stage of my life
When we got into the little seminar room and started the proceedings
who were sat at school desks arranged in a U-shape
introduced themselves and outlined their positions on the main issues
and the debate started on the first draft resolution
everyone having a nice time and looking amused by the role-play
I had a quiet look at things for half an hour or so
The first time I interrupted and called a point of order
Thirty or so sets of confused eyes settled on me
who confirmed that I had acted within the rules
sought leave of the council to make a five-minute statement
who used their veto power to snuff out anything approaching a consensus on nuclear non-proliferation
As a child from a rugby league town in the Hunter Valley that even the other Merewether kids made fun of
this day confirmed every one of my class prejudices
Here was the decadence and dilettantism of the silver-spooned elite
in every slipshod argument and procedural faux pas
I was operating with a hunger and energy they simply couldn’t match
Their excuse for a day off school was my realisation of destiny
a demonstration of the political force of the mobilised prole
when all the Model UNs that had been scattered across the campus reassembled in a big hall for a presentation
I was appointed to report back on our day’s work
I said that while we’d had a very interesting debate
our inability to settle any of the resolutions meant that it was “ultimately pointless”
Having got the fizz of scandalised laughter I’d been looking for
and the convenor returned to the mic to tell us that we shouldn’t see it like that
that the day had been about learning and exchanging ideas

and the discovery that a weekend was two full days
In January, she and her partner took a skiing holiday at Mount Kenashi in Japan. He was an experienced snowboarder; she was a novice.

consider the price Campbell’s 32-year-old frame has paid for those 20 years in the water (she also had surgery on her left shoulder
she could see her teammates doing things she no longer could
and the toll that elite sport has taken on it.”

Campbell’s first Olympic appearance was at Beijing in 2008
Paris 2024 would have been her fifth Olympiad – something no Australian swimmer has ever achieved
She admits there was relief when it was all over
“I was so tired by the time we got to those trials
and my body had been breaking down continuously.”
right?Cate CampbellThere is a curious suspension of disbelief involved in elite sport
Athletes have to mentally back themselves to perform

Yet she still willed herself back into the water
as though spitting in the face of her sporting mortality
she says: “We all have to lie to ourselves
If we truly understood the risks of walking out your front door
It kept her hungry. Does it still burn? “Oh, I think that you can look back with regret, and not let that regret tarnish your whole experience. I think people who have no regrets in life haven’t lived exciting enough lives … I’m not going to define my whole career by not having that in my trophy cabinet.”

“We always tell athletes to separate the person from their performances
but the nature of high-performance and elite sport is all-encompassing
so of course your identities are going to merge
I think a lot of athletes get to the end of their career and they berate themselves for not feeling like they’re accomplishing or achieving anything

playWill Campbell's NFL draft profile (0:39)Check out some of the top highlights from LSU's Will Campbell
"I'm going to fight and die to protect him with everything I've got," Campbell told NFL Network
That drew a reaction from Maye, who posted on X: "Love this guy already."
The selection reflected one of the Patriots' top priorities entering the draft -- to provide better infrastructure around Maye
319-pound Campbell started 38 straight games at left tackle over the past three seasons
Just as he started as a true freshman at LSU in 2022
he'll have a chance to step immediately into the starting lineup with the Patriots
as left tackle is arguably their largest void
very easy pick for us," first-year head coach Mike Vrabel said
"Adding Will to our football team is about a foundational piece
a young 21-year-old that's mature beyond his years
The Patriots ranked 31st in pass-block win rate last season
They allowed pressure on a league-worst 39.4% of their dropbacks last season
the Patriots visited him recently at LSU and Vrabel put on a blocking pad as part of a workout
who played 14 seasons in the NFL as a linebacker
joked that he hoped the tape of the workout remains undisclosed
"I think it was important for me to get out there and feel every player that we evaluated at the line of scrimmage," he said
From the time that we walked in the building to the time that we left and got on the plane
and that was to prove to us that he was the right player for us."
He was a consensus All-America selection last season
and he won the SEC's coveted Jacobs Blocking Trophy
He said he told New England executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and area scout Alex Brooks in Week 5 of the regular season that he hoped to be a Patriot
who is only the second LSU offensive lineman to be selected in the first round in the common draft era
"I'm just super excited and thankful to wear that logo on the side of my helmet and across the front of my chest
which measured 32 5/8 inches at the NFL combine and 33 inches at LSU's pro day
has sparked debate in some scouting circles because it is below the norm at left tackle
Campbell's wingspan of 77 3/8 inches is also below the norm for the position
which has led some scouts to project him more to guard in the NFL
but left tackle is considered more of a premium position
and New England is viewing Campbell as a tackle
New England returns last year's starter Vederian Lowe, who is recovering from offseason surgery on his shoulder, and Vrabel said he planned to give 2024 third-round pick Caedan Wallace snaps at the position
John Campbell’s new TVNZ+ docuseries is a gripping and unsettling look at how Destiny Church has amassed money and power – and why its growing aggression should alarm us all
As I sat down for dinner with my fiancée last Friday night
we faced the age-old question of deciding what to watch as we ate
Under His Command – John Campbell’s special on Brian Tamaki and Destiny Church – popped up
Having already watched the first episode and waiting patiently for the full drop
we settled in for what we were sure would be an interesting watch
We had hardly gotten into part three of the five part series when I said “this will win heaps of awards” to my partner
Under His Command is a masterclass display from TVNZ’s chief correspondent John Campbell
The veteran journalist has clearly spent months filtering through hours of Destiny Church sermons and researching the church and its controversial leader
The first part of the series sets the scene with Campbell chatting to “Te Ahi”
a former member of Destiny Church who paints a bleak picture of life within the church
Campbell skillfully traverses the sensitive issues by allowing Te Ahi the space she needs to speak her truth
The interview perfectly sets the stage for what is to come – Campbell’s exploration of the exploitation of vulnerable people by someone he seems to perceive as being a money and power hungry mad man with a Jehovah’s complex
Campbell tackles the meaty issue of the church’s charitable status and how that is regulated
This includes looking at the ongoing politicisation of the church
the role Charities Services plays in monitoring all 28,000 registered charities in Aotearoa
and the structure of the church and its apparent aversion to paying tax or filing financial returns
Campbell paints a picture of a regulatory body that is under-resourced and failing to monitor and enforce the rules – effectively allowing charitable entities such as Destiny Church to flout the rules without any fear of repercussions
masterfully splicing in archival footage from the church and past stories he has done – highlighting just how long he has been following the church and the Tamaki whānau – shows that the church has been pressuring its followers to donate for decades
While there have been grand plans – such as building its own city in South Auckland – these plans have failed to come to fruition
the money has been trucked away and the members of the church left wondering where their tithe is truly going
effectively creating his own gang (the documentary showcases Tamaki referring to his “gang” on several occasions)
The remaining two parts of the series were probably the most frightening
This is where Campbell really focused on Tamaki as a person and the trajectory his life has taken since founding the church in 1998
to apostle – Campbell aptly highlights the ongoing inflation of Tamaki’s ego over the past two decades
He illustrates Tamaki as someone so high on power
that he appears to have militarised a certain part of his following and gloats about being able to order them to carry out his commands
These shows of force are becoming increasingly aggressive and leaving people feeling threatened and intimidated
Tamaki is simply misunderstood – a likable character who is vilified by the media and those against him as being something he is not
This is where I begin to really get concerned
I work at a news outlet that is considered by many to be left-leaning
We do not shy away from criticising people across the political spectrum
we have also covered some of the issues regarding Destiny Church and Brian Tamaki
Even writing this review I have questioned if I am putting myself or family in danger by sharing my thoughts on the documentary
Such is the perceived influence and power of Brian Tamaki and the willingness of his devout followers to persecute those who dare criticise the self-proclaimed apostle
If you want an insight into the mind and motives behind Brian Tamaki and his followers
As one of the country’s all-time great journalists
Campbell doesn’t just investigate Tamaki – he dissects the ecosystem that enables him
It’s essential viewing for anyone trying to understand the growing intersection of religion
politics and power in Aotearoa – and what happens when accountability goes missing

It was just before 5pm when a protracted day of counting drew to its conclusion
Stood opposite an indoor climbing wall and flanked by his five fellow candidates inside Haltemprice leisure centre’s main hall
Luke Campbell was told that 48,491 votes had been won along with the fight to become Hull and East Yorkshire’s first elected mayor
No opponent had come within 10,000 votes of the political novice best known for winning a gold medal in boxing at the 2012 London Olympics
“Thank you so much to the people of Hull and East Yorkshire for putting your trust and faith in me,” Campbell said on the podium
“I am truly honoured and humbled to have been elected to represent you
Campbell neither looks nor sounds much like a politician
“I don’t care for politics,” the 37-year-old former lightweight had said during a televised BBC debate two weeks earlier
an ally of United States President Donald Trump
Campbell has become the Reform party’s latest victory on the UK’s rapidly shifting political landscape
reflecting a series of local elections across England where voters took a collective step to the right
Campbell left a stellar boxing career behind when retiring in 2021 but now begins a very different challenge in a world he knows little of
A four-year term will see him control a minimum £13.4million ($17.8m) budget from central government
representing 610,000 people in the region he has always called home
Strategic decisions will be made on housing
while Campbell will also be a lobbying figurehead for additional government support from Westminster
The promise was made to “hit the ground running”
with a series of meetings with officials planned on Tuesday
Campbell also becomes a new poster boy for the ambitions of Reform UK
Comfortably winning the first Hull and East Yorkshire mayoral election was both a measure of the party’s snowballing popularity and the power of celebrity
Campbell’s exploits as a boxer had won him no end of acclaim in Hull
and he proved to be a name still capable of drawing enormous support
“A lot of people talked about my lack of political experience,” said Campbell afterwards
It is no exaggeration to call Campbell one of the UK’s most technically gifted boxers
In the years that led him to Olympic fame in London
the lightweight known as ‘Cool Hand Luke’ had won gold at the 2008 European Championships and silver at the 2011 Worlds
The 2012 Olympics were Campbell’s zenith but an eight-year professional career brought a further 20 wins from 24 fights and lightweight world-title contests against Jorge Linares and Vasiliy Lomachenko. Both were lost, as was Campbell’s final fight against Ryan Garcia in Dallas four years ago
have been launched in the post-retirement years but there had never been any ambitions to begin a political career
Even those closest to Campbell would have scoffed at the prospect of him becoming Hull and East Yorkshire’s first mayor when the government signed off a devolution deal last September
Only on February 27 — nine weeks before polling — was he revealed as Reform’s surprise candidate
Party leader Farage had briefly trailed it as a “knockout” choice on social media before Campbell was unveiled on stage at a ticketed rally held at Hull’s Connexin Live arena
“I want to represent the people in the right way,” he said
mimicking a boxing referee signalling a winner
and its surrounding areas have criticised Campbell’s alignment with a right-wing populist party and its hard-line stance on immigration
have been only too willing to show support
consistently claimed not to be a political animal
insisting his motives would be to serve the best interests of people
“This is why I’m standing: politics gets in the way,” he told the BBC
“It’s people talking to people to benefit the people of this region
joined his candidate on the campaign trail and a week before polling
they were together on the streets of Hull and the East Yorkshire market town of Beverley in search of support
Campbell is known to have struggled with elements of the campaign trail
in particular debating with more experienced political figures and criticism on social media
but the rush of votes sent his way on Thursday saw almost 50,000 of the electorate look beyond his shortcomings
That was 35.8 per cent of the vote and comfortably more than the Conservative and Labour candidates combined
Long before the result was formally announced
those in attendance were confident of the outcome
Campbell had arrived at the count shortly after Richard Tice
who had travelled to Hull more in expectation than hope
Dame Andrea Jenkyns being announced as a Reform mayor for neighbouring Greater Lincolnshire that morning had signalled which way the wind was blowing
There was a two-and-a-half-hour wait in the sports hall for a nervous Campbell to be declared winner but observers of the count
held on a series of long tables by council staff and volunteers
had seen one pile of forms growing higher than the others
Campbell had won another very different fight
that I want my actions to speak louder than my words,” said Campbell on stage
“The people of Hull and East Yorkshire have spoken and now it’s time to deliver.”
Reform wishes to transform British politics and now, as unlikely as it might have once seemed, Campbell will be a component for that desired change.

London City Lionesses had hardly become the first female side not affiliated to a men’s club to win promotion to England’s WSL after their 2-2 draw with Birmingham City on Sunday when their billionaire owner Michele Kang was already talking about their recruitment plans for next season.
Where that will leave Megan Campbell, who signed an 18-month contract with the club in January of last year, remains to be seen, but no one celebrated harder on that pitch come full-time than the Republic of Ireland international.
London City had gone into the game, the last of the Championship season, two points clear of Birmingham, so needed just a draw to seal promotion. They led 2-0, and then had to endure a stomach-churning conclusion to the game after Birmingham drew level and then threw the kitchen sink at trying to find the winner they needed.
It wasn’t to be, Lucy and Louise Quinn, who both came on as subs for Birmingham, left inconsolable. Jamie Finn and Lily Agg, both recovering from ACL injuries, could only look on.
Louise Quinn, playing her last professional game of football after announcing her retirement earlier in the week, was thrown up front for the last 15 minutes, 10 of which were added time, in the hope that she might nick a winner. No joy.
London City, then, join the big guns next season, Ruesha Littlejohn and Grace Moloney probably feeling bittersweet about it all having been released by the club back in January after Kang’s splurge on a dozen new players, including a raft of World Cup, Champions League and WSL winners.
Like Louise Quinn, Niamh Fahey, her long-time Ireland comrade, announced that she would be retiring from football at the end of the season. Her Liverpool side have just one game to go in the WSL.

Many members of the Campbell flag football team had a choice on Saturday night: Attend their senior prom
or try to achieve something that had never been done in Hawaii high school athletics
It was a no-brainer for several of the Sabers
who prevailed 6-0 over Leilehua at Mililani’s John Kauinana Stadium for the inaugural Hawaii Dental Service/HHSAA girls flag championship trophy
Senior quarterback Maya Gonsalves was among those to choose the soft-shell helmet
flag belt and cleats over fancy function attire
She had the game’s lone score — a 33-yard keeper touchdown near the end of the first quarter
“I didn’t want to leave what we’ve been working on this entire season for one night,” Gonsalves told Spectrum OC16’s Jimmy Bender
“So I chose to stick with my team and get the win.”

leaned on their defense to survive a daunting bracket with four wins in four days — over MIL runner-up Baldwin
OIA runner-up Mililani and another tough OIA West team in Leilehua
All-around defensive menace Shaleah Moore was named tournament Most Outstanding Player
plus two pass breakups and a quarterback hurry
was one of the team’s more experienced flag players
having played with her famiy and in club since the 6th grade
“I feel like we did an amazing job,” Moore said
“We all trusted each other to have each other's backs
and I put the pressure (on Leilehua’s backfield)
And when I put the pressure on the quarterback
she threw bad balls and my team could pick it.”
Campbell intercepted balls on Leilehua’s final three possessions
a Sabers basketball player who played flag for the first time this year
She compared reading the quarterback’s eyes to reading defense on a basketball court
Naboa and his staff were able to explain the game in ways that made sense
but they were able to walk me through it and every day I learned something
and we were definitely not the same team from the start of season to now
coached by former University of Hawaii quarterback Bryant Moniz
pulled off a stunning upset of OIA champ Moanalua in the quarterfinals on Thursday
The Mules followed it up with an 18-12 win over Punahou on Friday
Moniz lamented one missed flag pull on Gonsalves as the difference in the game
Another possible swing factor was that his daughter
She required a hospital visit to treat dehydration before the game and she was advised by a doctor not to play
She came out of the game in the second half and had to be attended by athletic trainers
the body can't go and she just had to tap out,” Moniz said
and then to spend this time with my daughter has been amazing.”
Powell nearly connected with a receiver on a heave into Sabers territory
Gonsalves was 10-for-19 passing for 74 yards and one pick for Campbell

GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T has hit a rough patch recently in Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) baseball play
The Aggies will now need a strong finish to secure a berth in the 2025 CAA Baseball Championship Tournament after losing its seventh CAA game in the last eight contests with a 6-1 loss to the Campbell Fighting Camels Sunday at War Memorial Stadium
A&T dropped to 15-31 overall and 9-12 in the CAA despite a gallant pitching effort from right-handed reliever Jacob Halford (L
three at home against the College of Charleston and three on the road against the top team in the league
the Camels took two out of three from the Aggies partly because they hit nine home runs over the weekend
including three on Sunday to improve to 20-26 overall and 11-10 in league play
keeping them in fifth place in the standings
earn a berth in the conference tournament scheduled for May 21-24 at Charleston's Patriot Point ballpark
Going into the series, the Aggies did not know who they wanted to start Game 3. The coaching staff decided on junior RHP Evan Hart
Hart pitched a scoreless first inning before the Aggies turned to Halford
He pitched magnificently for six straight innings before the Camels finally got to him in the visitors' eighth inning
But a pop-out and a strikeout ended the Aggies threat
In the fourth, A&T put two on with one out after Campbell's left-handed starter Jake Murray walked senior Kristian Amaro and committed an error on a Nick DiCarlo groundball
the Aggies left two more on base with a foul out and strikeout
scoring the game's first run with two outs in the frame
Junior Andrew Tinsley reached base on an error in the fifth. He stole second and eventually moved to third on a wild pitch before freshman Savoi Edwards brought him home with a rocket RBI double to left center field to put A&T ahead 1-0
Halford continued to roll as the game moved into the sixth inning
He gave up a leadoff single to Dalen Thompson
who eventually moved to second base on an error
But Halford ended the inning on a flyout and a strikeout
sending the game into the home sixth with the Aggies still leading
After Campo got stranded at second following a two-out double in the A&T sixth
Halford retired Charlie Meglio on a foul out and Andrew Schuldt on a pop-out before Jackson Thompson took Halford's 3-1 pitch over the right-field wall to tie the game 1-1
4-3) stepped on the bump in the A&T seventh and ended the inning on a double play
Rossow benefitted from that as the Camels put the game away in the eighth
Halford had six strikeouts going into the eighth and continued to look mighty to open the frame despite giving up a leadoff single to Darnell Parker
Parker was eliminated from the base paths when Dalen Thompson hit into a double play
But a two-walk to Joe Morton proved crucial
Morton stole second and scored on an RBI single from Jonah Oster
Pinch-hitter Lukas Schramm stepped up and hit a two-run homer to left field to give the Camels a 4-1 advantage
It ended Halford's terrific outing as senior RHP Diego Barrett replaced him
Barrett gave up a single but ended the frame on a strikeout
Campbell added two more runs in the ninth on a two-run homer from Dalen Thompson
the Aggies stranded two runners in the eighth and two more in the ninth
The Aggies will open their series against Charleston on Friday

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
Draft questions: Patriots Hall of Fame finalist Logan Mankins was talking with his wife
"It's funny because my son is getting recruited right now and he's been getting measured," Mankins said
I don't even know.' I knew my hand was over 11
but I didn't know what my arm [length] was."
the Patriots' 2005 first-round draft pick who played nine seasons for the franchise and finished his career with two seasons in Tampa Bay
was a seven-time Pro Bowler and widely viewed as one of the greatest offensive linemen to ever play in New England -- right there behind Pro Football Hall of Famer John Hannah
He was a left tackle at Fresno State but moved to left guard in the NFL (outside of two emergency starts at tackle)
Campbell's arm length measured 32⅝ inches at the combine
It's assumed that tackles with longer arms have a better chance at keeping defensive ends from getting into their chest
because they can be kept more at a distance due to the extended reach
To some, that means Campbell would move to guard in the NFL, similar to Mankins (primarily because the Patriots had Matt Light entrenched at left tackle, and later Nate Solder) or 2016 third-round pick Joe Thuney (32¼ inches)
To others, such as former Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia
the shorter arms and 77⅜-inch wingspan don't definitively mean a move inside to guard (a position that is traditionally not valued as highly as tackle)
ESPN NFL draft analyst Field Yates (who alongside Mel Kiper Jr. projected Campbell to the Patriots at No. 4 in their latest mock draft) said he hasn't noticed Campbell's arm length as an issue at tackle against top competition in the SEC
43 and enjoying retirement at his Massachusetts farm
you look at their arms and 'holy smokes' -- they're super long
"But there's also guys with shorter arms who had great careers and were great football players
they figure it out if they have a little bit of shorter arms."
How the Patriots view Campbell's arm length
through the prism of whether it affects his value as the possible pick at No
is one of the top questions surrounding the team entering the draft
here are some other top Patriots questions:
Could Georgia linebacker/pass rusher Jalon Walker be a wild-card selection at No
Coach Mike Vrabel has said finding ways to affect the opposing quarterback is one of his top goals
and the versatile Walker brings it (34 pressures in 2024) while also earning high marks from scouts for his leadership -- a trait Vrabel naturally values
Do they double-dip along the offensive line
and Vrabel has said the team would like to add to the position
With significant cap charges for Milton Williams and Christian Barmore this season and into the future
and a Vrabel-based history of using waves of personnel during games
balancing out the position financially with a rookie contract would make sense
After trading Joe Milton III, there's an open spot to be filled on the depth chart behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs
with the likeliest odds that it comes on Day 3 or immediately after the draft in the free agent pool
2. Mankins on Hall: This is the third straight year Mankins is a finalist for the Patriots Hall of Fame, with voting continuing through April on Patriots.com
Kicker Adam Vinatieri and receiver Julian Edelman are the other finalists
"I don't know if it will ever happen or not
but it's an honor to be included every year," Mankins said
It was one of the best moves made by Patriots executive director of player personnel Eliot Wolf
So while the Patriots should expect to land a starting-caliber player if they ultimately pick at No
the grade of the player likely won't match others selected in that spot in most prior years (assuming Hunter and Carter aren't on the board)
Vrabel's criteria: While Vrabel didn't tip his hand on the team's intentions with pick No
4 in his pre-draft news conference Tuesday
he did acknowledge the team has assessed how prospects will handle lofty expectations
"The demands on 'first-round pick,' I think
is something that's just like the quarterback
You don't have to be the face of the franchise
but everybody's going to be talking about the first-round pick from the time we pick them ..
I think you have to have the attitude and demeanor to handle some of that."
An AFC scout said he wouldn't have any concerns with Campbell or and Walker in that regard
particularly when it comes to blitz pickup
while adding he would fit in a zone or gap scheme
Etienne projects as a third-to-fourth-round pick
7. Farmer in trenches: Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer (6-3
305) was among those who visited the Patriots leading up to the draft
which puts him on the radar as a possible target within what scouts call a deep class at the position
with an AFC scout noting his ability to create movement on bull rushes
and hold his ground against double-team blocks
Voluntary camp: The Patriots have concluded Phase 1 of their voluntary offseason program
which is limited to strength and conditioning activities
with only strength and conditioning coaches allowed on the field
Vrabel and his staff will hold a voluntary veteran minicamp Tuesday
This is only allowed for new NFL head coaches
One notable theme through the first two weeks has been the presence of Barmore as he hopes to return from a recurrence of symptoms from blood clots in December
play0:37Former NFL player Don Hasselbeck dies at 70Don Hasselbeck
Super Bowl XVIII champion and father of Matt and Tim
9. Hasselbeck's Patriots legacy: Longtime Patriots center Peter Brock (1976-1987) is planning to travel to Nashville early this week for memorial services for former University of Colorado and Patriots teammate Don Hasselbeck (1977-1983), who died last week
Brock expects to connect with at least a dozen former Colorado teammates there
along with former Patriots teammates including John Hannah
Asked his recollections of Hasselbeck's time with the Patriots
Brock said: "They drafted him [in the second round] and we already had Russ Francis on the team at tight end
They weren't trying to replace Russ with Donnie
as Donnie had a different type of skill set at the position
and a different type of work ethic than Russ
We called him 'Russ Francis' stuntman' for a while
because he would go through the practices and then Russ would start on Sunday
"But the other thing he gave us was kind of a leadership thing
He became our union rep and those were times we struck twice in his tenure here
'Let's try to hold this whole thing together.' That's how he led; it wasn't 'us vs
them.' He did very well with it and I think that was one of the reasons they traded him [to the Raiders]."
The first round of the 2024 NFL draft lasted 3 hours
which was shorter than 2023 (3:40) but longer than 2022 (3:18)
Teams get 10 minutes per selection in the first round
seven minutes per selection in the second round
five minutes per selection in rounds 3-6 and four minutes per selection in the seventh round
Kristian Campbell had just finished his news conference Saturday afternoon when he was getting ready to join a group photo with his parents and Boston Red Sox ownership
He was standing between his mom and dad when his mother
reached forward and adjusted the 22-year-old rookie's sport jacket before the group looked at the photographer
His bigger life-altering moment came earlier this week
less than a week after his major league debut
"It was a life-changing opportunity for me and my family," Campbell said
"We'll keep doing this every day as long as people want to keep extending," team CEO and president Sam Kennedy said
"The word to describe your son around camp
"That's probably life's greatest achievement
An infielder and outfielder, Campbell made his big league debut March 27 as Boston's youngest Opening Day starter at second since Reggie Smith. He was slated to start in center on Saturday, but the game against the Cardinals was postponed due to rain
sharing what I would call a massively significant moment for this organization because Kristian was not drafted in the first round
he was not a top prospect entering the organization," chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said
"What he was is a good player who made himself a great player because of his work ethic."
Campbell is hitting .423 with two homers and five RBIs in eight games
why did the club come to the decision to sign him to an extension so quickly
teams are getting better and better of forecasting what players are able to accomplish," Breslow said
For a player who was drafted in the fourth round two years ago from Georgia Tech
"They made the process really easy for me," Campbell said

Do you use primer
I don't
Except when I do
Primer is definitely one of those steps that's 'nice to have'
but if you don't use it or forget to put it on
I never, ever used to use a primer. I think because when I started in beauty most primers were very heavy, had a strong 'silicone' texture and made me feel like my face was suffocating
Watch: For the dry skin girlies that can't use the recs below
Plus, I'm lazy and will justify skipping any step I don't deem essential
mostly from a trailing perspective for my job.
Turns out they've come a long way from a decade or two ago, and you can find a formula to help with almost any skin concern
I have combination skin so I don't want anything that's going to make me look oily or greasy
so anything with too much illuminator only makes them more obvious
I've had the best luck with spot-using primer
I swipe it on after my sunscreen and before my foundation
my inner cheeks where the pores are visible
I then wait a few minutes before applying my base and I truly notice a difference — my foundation sits better
stays in place longer and overall my skin looks smoother.
But if I'm heading to a fancy event or somewhere nice
I've listed a few of my favourites for this below. If you're not combo or oily, jump over to the You Beauty group and ask for hydrating or radiant primer recommendations — the Youbies will have you covered
While on the topic, You Beauty Collective contributor, Teresa McNamara, wrote about the $18 primer she loves more than her other $104 favourite.
