Eleven of the 12 Commonwealth champions make the cut with coach Stacey Marinkovich confident despite absence of star shooter Gretel Bueta
“Better the gold medallist you know” appears to be the motto adopted by Australian Diamonds’ coach Stacey Marinkovich after she named a surprise-free, 19-player squad for the World Cup.
Australia is the first major nation to name a squad for the four-yearly tournament, which will begin in Cape Town on 28 July; the first time it has been held in Africa. There are no shocks at the other end, with Commonwealth trio Steph Wood, Cara Koenen and Kiera Austin, as well as Sophie Garbin, Donnell Wallam and Sophie Dwyer, named.

Australian migration system is suffering from a decade of ‘breathtaking neglect’: O’NeilHome Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil says migration has helped Australia become a “prosperous and secure” nation, but the current systems are suffering from a “decade of genuinely breathtaking neglect”. “In the 1970’s Gough Whitlam blew open the dusty doors of power to bury the White Australia Policy and welcome migrants from around the world, 50 years later, multiculturalism is still central to our Australian identity,” Mr O’Neil said at the National Press Club of Australia. “In the 1990’s Paul Keating used skilled migration to drive Australia out of recession, migration helped deliver the longest period of continuous economic growth in recorded history anywhere in the world, in our country, Australia. “Migration helped us become a more prosperous and secure Australia because the system was designed to meet the challenges of the moment and that is not true of our system today. “Our migration system is suffering from a decade of genuinely breathtaking neglect, it is broken, it is failing our businesses, it is failing migrants themselves and most important of all, it is failing Australians, and that cannot continue. “Our economy is stuck in a productivity rut and Australians are suffering because of it, migration can help us change that.”
