• A TELEVISION interview with the winner of Australia’s richest fishing prize, the Million Dollar Fish, has been condemned as “disgusting”, “horrible” and “shameful”. Keegan Payne, 19, was fishing in the Northern Territory’s Katherine River with one of his sisters and a friend when he hooked the tagged fish to win a million dollars.

• FOUR First Nations researchers left Hobart aboard the CSIRO’s Investigator last week to help unlock secrets hidden beneath the sea. Mibu Fischer, Jamie Graham-Blair, Kinam Salee and Alice Wise make up 20 per cent of the twenty-person research team, and are the largest contingent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the team to date. Full story, Pages 10-11.
