Shane Warne's son Jackson breaks his silence on the shocking way he found out his father had died: 'I looked at him as Superman'
Jackson Warne has revealed what went on behind the scenes the day his famous dad, Shane Warne, died. Speaking for the first time about the tragic events, the 26-year-old said he was with members of his family when he learned that Shane, 52, had suffered a fatal heart attack. 'Worst phone call of my life,' Jackson said in a new interview, three years after his father's death. Speaking to the Herald Sun on Monday, Jackson said he was with his mother, Simone Callahan, and his eldest sister, Brooke, when Shane's manager, Andrew Neophitou, called with the horrific news. Jackson explained that there were initially two separate phone calls, the first explaining that Shane had a massive heart attack, and the second informing the family that a resuscitation attempt was underway. The podcaster and his family had to wait an agonising 90 minutes before James Erskine, Shane's manager, called again with an update. 'It was just the worst hour and a half,' Jackson said. When the sad news finally came, Jackson said that he and his family all broke down in tears. 'I found out at the same time as the rest of the world,' Jackson said. 'As soon as I hung up on the first call, I got messages from people saying, "tell me it's not true" and it has to be fake. 'And I thought, surely that's not what's going to get him. There was not a single part of me that thought dad wouldn't make it. That thought wasn't there 100 percent. 'I looked at him as Superman. I didn't think anything would happen to him. It still is such a shock.' Shane died suddenly from a massive heart attack while on holiday in Thailand in March 2022. The megastar cricketer turned pundit and businessman was found unconscious in a villa in the resort of Koh Samui. Thai police said that Warne was one of four friends staying in the villa. One of the group tried to wake Shane for food at around 5pm on March 4, but the athlete was found to be unresponsive. Warne's manager Neophitou performed CPR on the cricket great for around 20 minutes to try and save his life before an ambulance arrived. He was then taken to the Thai International Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Jackson recently revealed how his new career move is 'therapy' to help him cope with the loss of his father. The budding media star has launched his new podcast, Warnes Way, and explains how he pays tribute to his dad on set. 'We've got a studio we've set up which is in dad's old office so it feels like he's there,' Jackson told the Herald Sun last week. 'We've got all his memorabilia, his book, his ashtray, it's really special.' Jackson says that he and his dad had originally planned to do a father-and-son podcast together back in 2018, but it never happened. With guests who knew his dad - such as Eddie McGuire and Mark Howard - Jackson says the podcast has served as a means of healing his grief. 'I'm also treating it as a bit of therapy for me,' the professional poker player said. 'I don't see a therapist but when I talk to people like Mark Howard and Eddie McGuire it's so personal and we talk about stories with dad.'

Epic Games wins partial victory in Australian court against Google and Apple
Epic Games, the company behind the popular online game Fortnite, won a partial victory in an Australian court in U.S. billionaire chief executive Tim Sweeney's claim that Google and Apple engaged in anti-competitive conduct in running their app stores. Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach on Tuesday upheld key parts of Epic's claim that the tech giants breached Australian competition laws by misusing their market power against app developers and using restrictive trade practices. Google and Apple 's dominance of the app market had the effect of substantially lessening competition and breached Australian law, Beach found. But the judge rejected some of Epic's claim including that Google and Apple engaged in unconscionable conduct as defined by Australian law. Sweeney is also challenging Google and Apple dominance in the app markets through the courts in the United States and Britain. The litigation began in August 2020 when Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store expelled Fortnite because Epic installed a direct payment feature in the extraordinarily popular game. The court ruled both companies pressured app developers including Epic through contracts and technology to sell their products through the two dominant app stores. Epic posted online that the judgment was: 'Another HUGE WIN for Epic Games!' Apple said the company 'faces fierce competition in every market where we operate.' 'We welcome the Australian court's rejection of some of Epic's claims, however, we strongly disagree with the Court's ruling on others,' Apple said in a statement. Google said it would review the judgment. Google and Apple could potentially appeal the ruling before the Federal Court full bench. 'We disagree with the court's characterisation of our billing policies and practices, as well as its findings regarding some of our historical partnerships, which were all shaped in a fiercely competitive mobile landscape on behalf of users and developers,' a Google statement said. Beach has yet to release a 952-page judgment on Epic's case against Apple or his 914-page judgment on the case against Google. The judge gave an oral summary of his findings during a 90-minute hearing Tuesday. Lawyers will return to court on a date yet to be set to argue what Epic is entitled to in terms of damages.

By the end of the episode, Laura emerged as the winner, and walks away with a $250,000 cash prize and the title of MasterChef. 'This is the most surreal feeling in the whole entire world,' Laura said as she broke down over the good news. 'I'm truly so proud of myself for coming back for a third time and completely setting myself up for heartbreak,' she continued. 'And pulling off what I never thought I really could do, but I've wanted to for so long. I've dreamt of this moment since I was 13. MasterChef Australia: Back To Win came to a close for 2025 with a thrilling grand finale on Tuesday night. Laura Sharrad went up against Callum Hann in a nail-biting final episode that saw two of the show's most beloved contestants duke it out over two courses 'To have my family here, watching me cook, has been the most truly special experience of my life,' Laura explained. 'I just want to thank Callum, more than anyone. Just the support that you've shown me throughout this competition both times has been so truly special. So thank you so much for everything.' There was an additional touching moment as judge Andy Allen told Laura that the spirit of late judge Jock Zonfrillo lived on through her cooking. Callum was awarded $10,000 for coming in second place. First, the cooks faced off in a tense challenge that saw them tasked with creating a dish using potato and rosemary. Laura went for a potato risotto with samphire and pipis, while Callum created one-bite oyster chips. In an unprecedented result, the pair went into round two tied for first place, each getting a score of 38 out of 40 for their seafood dishes. The second round was a pressure test which saw the contestants recreate the 'Botanical Garden' dessert from renowned pastry chef Miko Aspiras. 'I've dreamt of this moment since I was 13,' Laura said as she broke down It was a challenging and emotional three-hour cook, with both Callum and Laura breaking down in tears once they finished the 149-step process. Laura became tearful once more as she revealed how proud she was to achieve what she had on the show while also being a busy mum. Laura's version of the dessert was close, but some elements, such as her aloe vera twig, were imperfect. Overall, the judges felt she had 'smashed it out of the park' - albeit with minor flaws. Callum faced the panel next, and admitted that he was immensely grateful to be part of the show. His version of Miko's dessert was less of a hit with the judges, who said his ganache was too thick - and his profiteroles were uneven. However, he did better on the aloe vera element than Laura, with his chocolate well tempered and his visual presentation praised for his attention to detail. Callum got a score of 35 out of 40 for his dessert, with his final score for the night was 73. Laura got a score of 36 out of 40 for her dessert, with her final score for the episode ringing in at 74. On Monday, the contestant kicked out just short of vying for the Back To Win crown was revealed. Laura, Callum and Jamie Fleming went head-to-head in a challenge that required them to make a three-course menu for 20 people. In the end, it was Jamie who fell short, after his overly ambitious menu left him having to make multiple substitutions to finish on time. While he missed out on the $250,000 prize, Jamie did win $10,000 in travel vouchers.
