Today was my last day at the ABC. It's been my second (sometimes main) home for the past 17+ years. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with brilliant colleagues and friends and to share the stories of many brave and wonderful people. Thank you for the privilege xx

Thanks again for all your support. Thankfully I have tested negative and am fine. However, I have been deemed a close contact and therefore must remain in isolation for the next 12 days. Together let’s all overcome this cluster and the necessary restrictions.

Before the Inner West mums group and every other Facebook parenting group, before Instagram, the Essential Baby forums were the place to go to seek anonymous support and advice about parenting. After 20 years of helping more than 250,000 parents, Nine will close them next week

Maguire: I limited the information I gave her, yes.
I think it might put her in a really difficult position if I went into specifics of issues and all sorts of complexities that might be involved.
