The Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins case was never about establishing whether or not Lehrmann raped Higgins. It was about Brittany. She was established as not ‘the perfect victim’ so we overlooked the blazingly obvious fact that Bruce Lehrmann was ‘the perfect perpetrator’.

A fond farewell to Mungo’s crosswords

This week we sadly publish the last of Mungo MacCallum’s puzzles. Before he died in 2020 Mungo compiled a large archive of crosswords for The Echo.

If you’re after a film for the whole family these school holidays, try the third film in the Trolls trilogy.

After two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favourite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan); John Dory (Eric André Sing 2); Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs Hamilton); and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi Don’t Look Up). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since.

But when Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains – Velvet (Emmy winner Amy Schumer Trainwreck) and Veneer (Grammy winner and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells The Book of Mormon) – Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.

The all-star cast includes Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Daveed Diggs, Eric André, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Kunal Nayyar, Kenan Thompson, Troye Sivan and Kid Cudi.

Trolls Band Together, is screening at Ballina and Byron Bay Palace Cinemas.
