Channel Seven star Abbey Holmes enlists surprising reality star as her nanny as she gets trolled for going back to work seven weeks after giving birth
Channel Seven star Abbey Holmes was recently slammed for returning to work seven weeks after giving birth to her first child. But the footy presenter ignored the haters and enlisted the help of a popular Married At First Sight star as she attended the 2025 Logie Awards on Sunday. Abbey shared an elevator selfie to Instagram as she arrived to The Darling hotel with her newborn son Brax and reality star Rhi Disljenkovic. 'Aunty Rhi Rhi arrived to help with Braxxy during the Logies,' she wrote. The following day, Abbey shared another selfie of the friends and baby Brax checking out of the hotel ahead of their flight back to Melbourne. Rhi also sang a song to the newborn in the car on the way to the airport. Abbey and her husband, former Hawthorn and Gold Coast player Keegan Brooksby, welcomed their first baby, Brax, on June 6. The Channel Seven presenter confirmed to fans that she'd be returning to work on July 25, in time for Essendon's Round 20 clash against the Western Bulldogs. Abbey took to Instagram to post a video of Dale Thomas and Matthew Richardson, captioning the post 'OK guys, we're baaaaack.' The footy presenter has been working two days a week as she enjoys her life as a new mum, and revealed that her decision to return to footy was based on how well Brax was doing. 'I think that if he didn't take a bottle or was really unsettled and only slept on me, or whatever it might have been, then I certainly would have been hamstrung and certainly not come back seven weeks after having him,' she told Seven. While many sent congratulations and well wishes to Holmes after she revealed she was returning to work, some comments branded her 'selfish'. One commenter wrote, 'Seven weeks. How about look after the tiny bundle of joy and watch them grow.' Another added, 'In child care at our expense no doubt.' In response, the Abbey hit back at the comments, explaining why she was so keen to get in front of the camera again. 'I think my work for me, it's so important. I genuinely love what I do. It doesn't feel like work in any way, shape or form,' she said. 'There's certainly a small minority of people out there that feel that they have the right to tell you what you should be doing and how things are to be done, which is never the case.' She also blasted those who had criticised her husband, Keegan, who she dubbed a 'super dad'. '[Someone said:] "Oh dad's on babysitting duty". I'm sorry, but dads don't babysit their own children, they're 50 per cent of the parenting duo,' she said. 'That's one thing that really gets to me.' Holmes also appeared at the Logie Awards on Sunday night and looked radiant, as she took to the red carpet wearing a sparkling grey gown.

Aboriginal public servant lashes out at Anthony Albanese in shocking foul-mouthed rant - but still manages to keep his job
An Aboriginal artist was able to keep his position on a taxpayer-funded board, despite labelling Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong 'genocidal c**ts' who should go and 'get f****d'. Fred Leone, an award-winning musician, Indigenous Butchulla Songman and founder of Impossible Odds Records, was appointed to the board of the Music Australia Council in August 2023 by Minister of the Arts, Tony Burke. Mr Leone, who was paid a salary of $24,540 for the role, has previously met Prince Harry when the former Royal was on a trip Down Under in 2022 with his wife Meghan. But Mr Leone has landed himself in hot water when he last week filmed himself unleashing on the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Burke, also Immigration Minister, after Albanese said he was waiting for the right moment to recognise Palestine as a state. 'You weak ass p**s dog, f**k you Anthony Albanese, f**k you. F**k Penny Wong,' ,' Mr Leone said in a self-recorded video posted on Instagram. 'F**k that weak ass Minister for Immigration, Tony Burke. You can all go get f****d. That's pathetic: "I'm waiting for the right moment to recognise Palestine" after, what, almost half a million people are dead? You f***king piece of s**t.' He further branded them as 'Zionist-siding dog(s)', before adding: 'When I see you at the f***ing airport don't even come near me c**t because I'll f***ing rip you in front of everybody.' His comments, first reported by The Australian, were in response to the Prime Minister saying last week that recognition of Palestine as a state had to come in circumstances where it would 'advance the objective of the creation of two states'. 'My entire political life, I've said I support two states, the right of Israel to exist within secure borders and the right of Palestinians to have their legitimate aspirations for their own state realised,' Albanese said on Wednesday. The Australian reported that Mr Leone has been allowed to keep his job on the taxpayer-funded board until his term expires at the end of August. Burke, who is also Minister for Home Affairs, Cyber Security and the Arts, said that Mr Leone's language escalated after he was told his position on the board would not be renewed. 'His (Leone's) language escalated as soon as he was told that he wasn't going to be reappointed to Music Australia,' Burke said.
