Australian actor David Argue, known for ‘Gallipoli' and ‘BMX Bandits', dies from cancer
Australian actor David Argue has died aged 65 after a battle with cancer. The Melbourne-born thespian – who starred alongside fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman in her second movie credit, the 1983 film BMX Bandits – was best known for playing 'Snowy' in the 1981 war drama Gallipoli, which was his first feature film role. Argue was a NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) student, though deferred his final year of study to take up the role of Sammy Martin in the '70s soap The Restless Years, in which he appeared in 100 episodes. His string of film credits also included Razorback, Going Down, Melvin Son of Alvin, Backlash, Angel Baby, Road Train and Hercules Returns, with an equally prolific resume in television, starring in Cop Shop, The Sullivans, Cluedo and Water Rats. Argue also performed prominently on stage from the '70s until the late '90s, including in Hair – The Tribal Love Rock Musical, The Country Wife, Sleeping Beauty on Ice and The Mouth Show. He quietly created a GoFundMe page in January to assist with his health issues, hoping to raise funds to purchase a mobility scooter. 'Due to some health issues including cancer my circulation is poor my legs are in constant pain with cramping and walking has become increasingly difficult,' Argue wrote. 'Life is not getting any simpler either! I am requesting assistance to buy myself a mobility scooter. A scooter will be incredibly helpful for my day to day life, allow me to easily visit my family more often and access public transport. I hope this note finds you well. 'Sincerely David Argue (Icon, Legend, Enemy to himself and Burden to his friends!)' Australian film distribution company Umbrella Entertainment paid tribute to Argue on its Instagram account, describing him as a 'comedic genius.' 'David was an actor who forced the audience to react. His presence on screen was never stale, he creatively sparred with his co-stars in evocative ways that made them rise to the occasion, meeting his mad-hatter charisma head-on,' the statement read. 'Umbrella have been honoured to celebrate David, restoring and releasing several of his films from Razorback to Hercules Returns, BMX Bandits, Midnite Spares, and more.' Meanwhile, The Victorian Actors Benevolent Trust released a statement saying, 'David was a remarkably talented and much-loved actor.' It continued, 'He had the rare gift of making any character he played utterly unique and totally believable. In recent years, as David's health declined, the VABT was able to provide much needed assistance and emotional support. 'In return, David had no hesitation in championing our work, most recently with a deeply personal and humorous reflection at our Trivia Fundraiser. We have lost a formidable talent and a dear friend. Vale David RIP.' Water Rats, while his last movie was 2021's Astro Loco.

Group 1-winning jockey Noel Callow under investigation over racist videos in Darwin
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. WARNING: This article contains offensive language A racially-charged video has emerged of Group 1 jockey Noel Callow ridiculing an Indigenous man. Racenet has confirmed a street talk-style exchange, understood to be recorded in Darwin this time last year, is currently under review from Queensland Racing Integrity Commission officials. 'A video was recently brought to the attention of the Commission,' a QRIC spokesperson said. 'It is presently the subject of an investigation.' You can watch the video in the player above • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Racenet has contacted Callow for comment. A second video has also been circulated, however, Callow is only heard not pictured in the frame. In the 17-second clip, Callow, riding a bicycle on the footpath with a jockey whip in the left hand, fired extremely offensive racist four-letter slurs at pedestrians after inaudible verballing. The leaked videos were initially shared privately but have since been circulated more widely. Callow is again in Darwin to reunite with out-of-sorts Bear Story in the $200,000 Darwin Cup on Monday. Callow last year placed third on then favourite Bear Story in the Northern Territory feature. The 50-year-old also has two rides in Darwin on Saturday. The Queensland-licensed ex-Victorian made a winning return to the races on Wednesday in Darwin. Callow has only just completed a two-month suspension for a physical altercation with another rider in the jockeys' room during a race meet at Doomben on May 28. The street talk video has a playful start, 'what's doing crackers', with the Indigenous man and then escalated. Noel Callow. Callow: 'Have you showered? F--- you stink like F---.' Man: 'Nah, I haven't got a job (inaudible)'. Callow: 'You stink like f---. Have some pizza. Take the pizza. Eat. Eat the pizza.' Man: 'I don't want to eat.' Callow: 'Have a shower then, do me a favour. Have a shower. You stink like f---.' Man: '(inaudible) I sleep on the street.' Callow: 'So you don't want a pizza … what do you want?' Man: 'I want a beer.' Callow: 'You want a beer … if you have a shower, I'll buy you a beer.' Man: '(inaudible) I don't have a shower. There's no shower in the friggin area.' Callow: 'Well jump in the f---ing creek … for f--- sake man.' The conversation continued with an inaudible exchange before Callow said: 'Good to have you on the show. What's your name?' Unable to understand the name after two attempts, Callow made up his own version before going with 'Yothu Yindi! Yothi, that's you, Yotha, ole Yotha'. The man responded to Callow with 'what's wrong with you?' after the jockey started singing Treaty, the famous Yothu Yindi anthem. Callow ended the clip with 'Good to have you on the show, man'. The exact timing of the videos is unclear, other than separate night and day interactions. The daylight racially-fuelled clip started with Callow riding a bicycle up behind pedestrians. 'Look at these c--ts,' Callow said. After an inaudible exchange, a pedestrian shouts 'watch out where you're riding your bike'. Callow fired back with venom. 'Stop walking on the f---ing footpath, you f---ing c--ns,' Callow said. 'Get up the c--ns.'
