Nobody cares about third place... unless you're the Veronicas
Voice of Real Australia is a regular newsletter from the local news teams of the ACM network, which stretches into every state and territory. Today's is written by regional digital editor and millennial Kim Chappell, and national social producer Rachel Clark representing Gen Z. Millennial says: Picking just 10 songs to give my votes to for Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian songs of all time was like choosing between children. So many Aussie bands shaped my teens and 20s - they filled my weekends and week nights with gigs and made the soundtrack to many road trips. But after days of hard-fought decisions, I made my picks and then on Saturday tuned in to see who made the list and where they landed. The number one song, Never Tear Us Apart by INXS, is an Australian classic, and to be honest, I would have been shocked if anything knocked it off the top of the tree. But the song in spot three. That was a shock. The Veronicas! Say what?! It's not even 20 years old yet - hasn't even stood the test of time. To see The Veronicas get two songs in the countdown and long-standing Aussie legends like Jebediah get none and incredible acts like You Am I and Augie March get just one... they were robbed! As for You Am I not even cracking the top 50? In the words of many a countdown listener.... should have been higher! Gen Z says: Untouched by the Veronicas absolutely deserved to nab the third spot on Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian songs of all time list. As it is now and forever, the unofficial Aussie national anthem for all Gen Zers. The duo's 2007 hit song shaped our childhoods and teenage years, from swimming carnivals and school discos to teen house parties and nights out. Even now, when I or any of my friends hear those first few notes, we rush to the dance floor. The song brings a sense of nostalgic joy for the early 2000s; the iPhone had only just been introduced, YouTube had not peaked yet, magazines were still in high circulation, and no one lived their life through a camera lens. Plus, I suspect most listeners could name more than one of The Veronicas songs compared to half of the artists on the list. The Veronicas are not the only band that holds a sentimental spot in young Aussies' hearts; Hilltop Hoods, Gotye, Temper Trap, Tame Impala, and Thelma Plum gave us the soundtracks to our young adult lives. But I do have to say, despite our disagreements about who deserved which spot, at least we can agree that Never Tear Us Apart by INXS rightfully deserved the number one spot. There is not a more iconic song that can bring all Aussies together.

Aussie singer G Flip and US star Chrishell Stause marry for the fourth time in medieval-themed wedding
Australian singer G Flip and US star Chrishell Stause have celebrated saying 'I do' for the fourth time with a medieval-themed wedding. G Flip, who uses they/them pronouns, and the Selling Sunset star renewed their vows on Saturday in Los Angeles. The couple rented out a castle in the Hollywood Hills for the occasion, TMZ reported. For the ceremony, Stause wore a white off-the-shoulder gown with a lace corset, while G Flip was dressed in a red tunic with a sword on their back. Stause shared photos from the wedding on her Instagram stories, including the invitation. 'By royal decree, we request the honor of your noble presence to witness the wedding ceremony of Lord Flipo & Lady Stause,' it read. 'Lord Flipo & Lady Stause bid thee join in revelry and royal delight. 'Attire: Medieval, Renaissance, Regal and Festive attire encouraged. RSVP with haste.' Stause shared behind-the-scenes details from her big day, revealing that she'd written her vows on a scroll made from dipping paper into a pan with brown liquid. Two knights dressed in full costume also attended the ceremony, along with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. Stause and G Flip first met at a Halloween party in October 2021. G Flip then enlisted Stause to feature in their music video for Get Me Outta Here. Stause confirmed her relationship with the Australian musician in May 2022, during Selling Sunset's reunion episode. In July 2022, Stause and G Flip secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022. They then renewed their vows a year later in a ceremony in Palm Springs in July 2023. In July 2024, the couple held a third ceremony in Melbourne while they were in Australia celebrating Stause's 43rd birthday. Speaking to Us weekly in May, G Flip revealed they have a goal to wed Stause every year. 'I think it's really healthy and it's good to update your vows every year. I think all couples should do it,' G Flip said. 'I reckon it makes you stronger, looking your person in the eyes and promising them new things every year.' Strause added: 'We normally plan it a week out, so it's super last-minute and then it's more spontaneous. 'We don't ever want to take the fun out of it, so it becomes a chore. That's the only rule: It can't be stressful. 'If you're newlyweds every year, that must help keep things spicy.'

You will either love or hate Instagram's newest feature
Instagram has caused a bitter divide with the launch of its newest feature, a graphic font that you either love or hate. The chalkboard style writing, called Rosalía, was named after the Spanish pop singer and has been recently rolled out globally on the popular app. Styled on Rosalía's own handwriting, complete with the Con Altura singer's dramatic strokes and inky texture, Instagram said the new feature – which can be used on Reels and Stories – was designed to encourage creativity and risk-taking among its users. However, it appears to have sent the internet into a meltdown, with those who have adopted the new writing being condemned by those who loathe its appearance. 'What is this absolutely hideous new font you guys are using on Instagram?' asked TikTok user francescabongi in a viral clip that has amassed almost 2 million views. While another, who goes by the handle @alexispoulos, lost her cool over it, slamming her hand on her phone as she asked: 'What the hell is going on with Instagram and these whack ass fonts?' Meanwhile Instagram account @themuffreport posted, 'please stop using this font' to its 1 million followers, describing its existence as 'the next pandemic'. The rage-filled posts spawned thousands of comments, with many agreeing the new feature was 'ugly' and 'weird'. However, there were plenty of Rosalía font fans who quickly leapt to its defence. 'It's so funny that people get so bothered over a font,' commented one. 'I'm gonna start using it even harder,' remarked another. While one quizzed: 'Why does it matter what font other people use on their own stories?' One of the most popular quirks of the latest Instagram feature is its 'secret icons', which include a heart, a smiley face, a devil and a star. These are unlocked when users manually type out select symbols such as But the defenders were quickly shot down by those who seemingly despise trying something new. 'If you feel compelled to use this font, it's your sign to seek therapy,' snarked one. 'When I see this font I see, 'H E L P',' commented another. As someone else declared: 'It's serial killer font.' There was also feedback from some that the new typeface was 'hard to read' and 'inaccessible' for blind and visually impaired people. 'I cannot read that font for the life of me, and my visual disabilities are mostly corrected with glasses. I can't imagine how hard it is to read with other visual disabilities,' noted one woman. 'I find it hard to read, especially when it's small,' agreed another. Adam Mosseri, the Head of Instagram, said the Rosalía font is available for a limited-time and was one of several updates coming as part of a wider push to 'make things more fun'. 'We know people value lightweight ways to be creative with features like Close Friends, Stories, Notes and more,' he wrote. 'We're also introducing a way to share what you're listening to on Spotify directly in Notes, to easily connect with friends through music.'
