How a boy from Balmain made caring cool
Jack Manning Bancroft is the founder and CEO of the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME). Jack's mother is Bundjalung artist, Bronwyn Bancroft. Growing up in inner-Sydney, he was intimidated by her artistic drive and threw himself into sport, because that was the only way a young Jack thought a man could have influence in the world. When he was ten the family moved to Bundjalung country to spend time with his mum's side of the family. The local kids refused to accept that Jack was Aboriginal. He escaped into fantasy books and wrote long letters home to his dad, Ned Manning, in Sydney. Jack received a scholarship to St Paul's College at the University of Sydney and vowed to use his opportunity to increase the number of Indigenous kids at university. The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) was born and Jack has since used his position to forge connections between communities to foster understanding across the world.

Carlton coach Michael Voss responds as AFL investigates threatening message left on MCG's anti-social hotline service
Carlton coach Michael Voss has delivered a powerful response to a threat aimed at him amid the club's poor form. A threatening text message directed at Voss was left on the MCG's anti-social hotline service during the team's loss to Collingwood on Friday, and is currently being investigated by the AFL's integrity unit. Voss admitted he was initially dismissive of the threat, but then delivered a take-down of frustrated fans who have responded to the club's current slump with anger. "We think by showing passion is about anger — and it's not about that at all," he said at a press conference on Wednesday morning. "There's a way we need to behave and there's a way we need to go about it — and when things are tough, you've got to show that support the right way. Not the wrong way. "Now if that's a measure for some people on what it should look like, then I'm sorry you don't belong here. "We'll move on and we'll make sure we continue to bring a supporter base that will support in the good times and it will support in the bad and we'll continue to support our people to be able to do that." Voss said while he was "dismissive at first", he quickly thought about the impact such a threat would have on his loved ones. "The first thing you always think about is the person beside you or the family member or the team. Because, as a result of what I do, you appreciate there's an element of scrutiny that comes with that," he said. "But then there's a part that's completely unacceptable — and I think we can all agree that part is unacceptable. And we don't tolerate that as an industry. "We leave that with the AFL Integrity (Unit) at the moment and I expect a pretty forthright response. But this is the current nature we need to consider within the AFL environment and we all have responsibilities … and you've got to understand that the ripple effect goes beyond what your opinion is. It reaches deeper." Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan described the threats aimed at Voss as an unfortunate constant of the AFL's coaching caper. "We've all been through that," he said. "It's tough. I see there was some death threats … that's pretty average. "I've got no doubt he'd be doing the best job that he can, but that's just the world AFL coaches live in. "Faceless people, lack of courage. As coaches, we try to brush those things off, to be honest."

Cricket: Fast bowler Riley Meredith splits stump in two in England
Fast bowlers are supposed to rattle the stumps but Australian quick Riley Meredith went a step further in the T20 Blast in England in scenes rarely seen before. Bowling for Somerset against Essex at Taunton, a searing delivery from Meredith to opener Michael Pepper not only rattled the stumps, it split one in half. While one half of the stump stayed stuck in the ground, the other provided a solid piece of memorabilia for Meredith, who raced down the pitch, all smiles, and picked it up, wielding it like a trophy. 'He absolutely smashes the stumps, they're done,' the shocked commentator said on the TV broadcast. 'What a sight for a fast bowler that is, get a picture.' Meredith, who also played for Somerset last year, finished with 2-22 in a 95-run win that propelled his team into the quarter-finals of the tournament. The Tasmanian is the equal-leading wicket-taker in the Vitality Blast, having snared 24 scalps so far, five more than his nearest rivals.
