Comedians Tim McDonald and Melanie Bracewell stole the show at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in Sydney, cracking up the crowd with jokes about many of the famous faces in the room. The stars of Channel 10’s The Cheap Seats hosted the glitzy ceremony on Wednesday night which was held at Sydney’s White Bay Power Station. Some of the big name attendees included Sam and Lara Worthington, American actor Cooper Koch, radio star Jackie O, country singer Orville Peck and lead singer of the 1975, Matty Healy. McDonald and Bracewell got the show off to a cracking start with a hilarious opening monologue. Here are some of their best lines. McDonald: Tonight is all about honouring the unsung heroes. Bracewell: Yes, hot, rich, successful people. Tonight we honour the next generation of Aussie talent ... and where better to do that than right here ... McDonald: At a 112-year-old decommissioned power station. Some of you may recognise us from Channel 10 ... Bracewell: Which was also decommissioned in 1984. McDonald: A lot of outstanding people are here tonight. Bracewell: [social media stars] The Inspired Unemployed are here. McDonald: You mean Jack and Falcon? Bracewell: No, sorry, Osher Gunsberg and Daniel Ricciardo. McDonald: Jackie O is here tonight. Bracewell: Jackie O released a book this year, and that’s so exciting. Finally, someone that talks about her life for five hours every day was ready to share her story. McDonald: In all seriousness, Jackie’s book bravely recounts her struggles with addiction ... to Prada handbags and 20 year old men. Bracewell: And just for the influencers in the room, a ‘book’ is like a really long Instagram caption.

Who won the awards? The night belonged to actor Sam Worthington who was named Man of the Year at the GQ Men of the Year awards in association with Defender. The Avatar star was presented the award by his wife, Lara, who revealed that she was asked to photograph her husband for the GQ MOTY cover. “Over weeks I created mood boards of actors and artists that I know Sam loves and is inspired by,” she said on stage. “I went back and forth thinking, should I shoot it on film or digital? What location? How many days would we need? “I had it all planned out and it was perfect,” she said, before declaring that her hard work ultimately proved pointless on the day of the shoot. “Sam gave me less than an hour and said he would only wear his own clothes,” she said, eliciting a big laugh from the crowd. “My husband is impulsive, fearless and raw. He just dives in, and did not care about my mood boards.” Earlier, Sam had an awkward red carpet moment when he jumped in to correct a Seven reporter’s gaffe , referring to his wife Lara by her maiden name. Some of the other winners included: Actor of the Year – Felix Mallard International Sensation – Gabbriette Sportsperson of the Year – Emma McKeon Sporting Icon – Eddie Betts International Actor – Cooper Koch Breakthrough Sportsperson of the Year – Noemie Fox International Musician of the Year – Orville Peck Other highlights from the ceremony Orville Peck delighted the crowd with a hilarious speech as he accepted his award on stage. “Some of you may know me as Orville Peck, the country star, and some of you may know me as the yodelling poof who wears a mask,” he said. “Either way, I’m very happy to be here.” The queer country pop star also raved about the local talent. “I really love Australia ... you gave us (AFL player) Bailey Smith, Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman, so on behalf of gay people everywhere, thank you very much,” he joked. Cooper Koch also gave a sweet speech when accepting his award. The actor, who recently played Erik Menendez in the Netflix series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story , paid tribute to the incarcerated brothers. “I really want to thank Erik and Lyle and all child sexual abuse victims for their strength and their courage,” he said. “You are not alone, and I hope that we can bring them (Erik and Lyle) home in 2025.” The GQ MOTY 2024 issue of GQ Australia will be on sale on Friday December 13, as a glossy special edition magazine available exclusively in The Australian .
Justin Herbert threw three touchdowns as the Los Angeles Chargers booked their place in the NFL playoffs with a blowout 40-7 win at the New England Patriots on Saturday. The Patriots, who suffered a sixth straight loss, were booed off the field by the remaining fans at Gillette Stadium as they fell to 3-13 on the season. But for the Chargers it was a job well done as the confident Herbert ensured a second post-season place in three seasons with another accomplished quarterback display. Herbert completed 28 of 38 passes and threw for 281 yards against a Patriots defense that caused few issues against the passing game. The Chargers took the lead late in the first quarter thanks to a beautiful 23-yard Herbert pass, superbly caught by the diving Derius Davis. After a Cameron Dicker field goal early in the second, Herbert found rookie receiver Ladd McConkey at the back of the end-zone with a pinpoint pass to make it 17-0. Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye had been forced out of the game in the first quarter after suffering a hit to the head by Cam Hart when running down the sideline. But Maye, who had been cleared to return for the second quarter, showed he was in good shape with a fine 36-yard touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas to give the Patriots some hope. More from this section But the Chargers ran away with the game with Herbert again connecting with McConkey, this time with a 40-yard pass down the middle and a two-yard rush from J.K Dobbins in the fourth completed the rout. Herbert's performance meant he set a new record for the most passing yards in the first five years of an NFL career -- passing Peyton Manning's tally of 20,618 yards. But the quarterback, who has yet to win a playoff game, was quick to give credit for his achievement to his team-mates. "It says so much about the guys we had catching those passes and a great offensive line giving me the time to get the ball off and (the defense) getting me the ball back," he said. "I couldn't have done it without them," he added. The Denver Broncos can clinch a place in the playoffs when they face the Bengals in Cincinnati later on Saturday. sev/nf

Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning "things do change." Here's a look at some of the issues covered: Trump hems on whether trade penalties could raise prices Trump threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn't believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher domestic prices for consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. an households won't be paying more as they shop. "I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow," Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market. That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation. In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying that tariffs are "going to make us rich." He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production. "All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field," Trump said. Trump suggests retribution for his opponents while claiming no interest in vengeance He offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. "Honestly, they should go to jail," Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power. The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump's role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office. As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: "I have the absolute right. I'm the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I'm the president. But I'm not interested in that." At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. "Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee," Trump said. Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, "No," and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies. At another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. "I want her to do what she wants to do," he said. Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration. Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, "I'm not looking to go back into the past." Swift action on immigration is coming Trump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program. "I think you have to do it," he said. He suggested he would try to use executive action to end "birthright" citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens — though such protections are spelled out in the Constitution. Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and were shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, "I want to work something out," indicating he might seek a solution with Congress. But Trump also said he does not "want to be breaking up families" of mixed legal status, "so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back." Trump commits to NATO, with conditions, and waffles on Putin and Ukraine Long a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he "absolutely" would remain in the alliance "if they pay their bills." Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies' commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated "fairly" on trade and defense. He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin's invasion. "Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure," Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump called for an immediate cease-fire. Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged. "I haven't spoken to him recently," Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to "impede the negotiation." Trump says Powell is safe at the Fed, but not Wray at the FBI The president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy, including interest rates. Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027. Asked about Wray, Trump said: "Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious" that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as Trump's pick for FBI chief, then "he's going to be taking somebody's place, right? Somebody is the man that you're talking about." Trump is absolute about Social Security, not so much on abortion and health insurance Trump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. "We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient," he said. He added that "we're not raising ages or any of that stuff." He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would "probably" not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, "Well, I commit. I mean, are — things do — things change. I think they change." Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had "concepts" of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called "lousy health care." He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for "better health care for less money."

Experts say Canada needs to be prepared to take action if U.S. president-elect Donald Trump goes through with his threats of significant tariffs when he takes office in January. Steve Verheul, former chief trade negotiator for Canada, says though the threat may not seem credible to many, the country still needs to take it seriously by engaging with the new administration and considering potential retaliation. "We’re in a very uncertain period right now," said Verheul during an online panel hosted by BMO on Wednesday. Trump has said he will introduce tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports into the U.S. unless they are able to halt the movement of illegal drugs and migrants across their borders. Experts have warned such tariffs would be damaging to the Canadian economy. "Our economies are integrated, our supply chains are closely intertwined, and we would be in for a highly disruptive period of time if such tariffs were to be put in place," said Verheul. "So I think the question now is, how will Canada respond?" Canada will do what it can to try and dissuade Trump from enacting such a dramatic policy, said Verheul, but if Trump makes good on his threat come inauguration day, Canada needs to be ready to retaliate, such as with tariffs of its own. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently flew to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and briefed opposition leaders this week on the government's plan for the Canada-U.S. border. Verheul was joined on the panel by BMO chief economist Doug Porter and Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment officer for BMO Wealth Management in the U.S. Trump initially said he would enact 10-per-cent tariffs on all imports, with a 60-per-cent hit for China. But more recently he threatened Canada and Mexico with 25-per-cent tariffs. Porter said such high tariffs on all imports are unlikely to happen, especially on key imports like energy. Financial markets don't appear to believe the threats will become reality, he said — but that doesn't mean they should be disregarded. "I think we should take the threat seriously, or at the very least prepare and consider what broad-based tariffs could mean for the economy," he said. “The reality is, we're dealing with an overtly protectionist president who is very fond of using tariffs." Verheul said 25-per-cent tariffs across the board would be a significant hit to Canada's economy, which relies heavily on exports to the U.S., as does Mexico. Trump is a "big fan of tariffs," said Verheul, and sees them as a way to bring production back to the U.S., address trade deficits, and increase revenue. But while Trump's interest in tariffs isn't new, Ma said this time around we're dealing with a different Trump, one who is no longer a political outsider. “President Trump is definitely more emboldened with tariffs this time around than he was in 2017, 2018," he said. While Ma also doesn't think the threats of sweeping tariffs are credible, he could see Trump enacting more limited tariffs on certain goods as bargaining chips. The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) is up for review in 2026, meaning 2025 is a year for negotiations, said Verheul. "I think there's a good chance that all of these tariff discussions will start to evolve into a renegotiation of the agreement, and we would attempt to address some of those issues within that negotiation," he said. "So hopefully short term, but it's going to be a rocky period and a lot of chaos in the market."It seems like someone — or the entirety of New York City — is really just fed up with the New York Giants. Before the Giants’ 1 p.m. game at MetLife Stadium today, a small plane flew over the venue and its tailgating crowd, pulling a sign reading, “MR. MARA ENOUGH – PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.” The banner went viral on social media, with even ABC Sports Anchor Ryan Field tweeting, “The people have spoken.” A sign flying over MetLife this morning: “Mr Mara enough - plz fix this dumpster fire” The people have spoken. #Giants100 pic.twitter.com/y786USrXwD The Mr. Mara the banner is referring to is the Giants’ owner John Mara, the third-generation owner of Big Blue. According to the New York Post , the plane arrived at the stadium about an hour and a half before kickoff today. A sad season The Giants might be celebrating their 100th year anniversary in 2024, but their record doesn’t reflect the centurial accomplishment. A dismal 2 wins and 10 losses this season is looking like it could become 11 losses at the time of writing.

This hasn’t been the first time some disgruntled fan flew a banner across the sky over the Giants, the Post wrote. “The last time a banner flew overhead with such negative feedback from disgruntled fans was back in 1978 when in the third quarter of a game against the Cardinals at Giants Stadium, a plane flew a banner that read, ‘15 YEARS OF LOUSY FOOTBALL ... WE’VE HAD ENOUGH,’” the Post reported.
