Aussie wife confronts husband's mistress, exposes cheating issue
A woman left 'destroyed' by her husband's cheating decided to confront the 'other woman' on live radio – sparking a debate about how men and women are treated when it comes to infidelity. The wife, named Kylie, had a dramatic and emotional showdown with her husband's mistress Sophie, on the Kyle & Jackie O Show recently. During the segment, Kylie pleaded with her to stop affair, stating through tears: 'You sleeping with my husband is ruining my life.' Sophie, who works with the married man, appeared to already know about Kylie, stating their relationship was 'sexual' and insisting her husband 'does love you'. But while knowingly sleeping with a married man is widely seen as morally wrong, many viewers weighed in on social media to condemn Kylie, pointing out she should be 'confronting the husband'. 'The responsibility is on her husband. 100 per cent on her husband,' one argued on social media. 'It's the husbands fault. He has done the betrayal,' another agreed. While one declared: 'As much as the mistress has no morals, its not her job to be loyal, it's the husband's. He made the vows, not the mistress! HE is the reason she is broken!' The tendency to blame the 'other woman' in cases of infidelity, rather than the cheater, exposes a stark discrepancy between societal expectations on men and women, says University of Melbourne social scientist Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne. 'Women are expected to be able to temper their libidos in ways that our culture pretends men can't,' Dr Rosewarne told previously. 'Women have also long been tasked with [the] duty of sexual gatekeeping – that they are somehow not only responsible for their own desires, but also for men's too; that somehow the duty is on them not to tempt men. 'Obviously these ideas are underpinned by antiquated gendered stereotypes that many people still clutch to.' Dr Rosewarne added that 'if the man is married and he has an affair, he has wrecked his home'. 'Blaming the other woman just allows us to frame the man as some kind of hapless victim to his penis, rather than an adult who made his own decisions,' she said. In this case, Kylie has laid blame on her husband's mistress, rather than challenge the man she married – and many noticed this apparent act of internalised misogyny after a video of the on-air confrontation went viral. 'People need to step off the mentality of 'she knew the wife existed'. So what? She owes that woman nothing. She isn't hurting her. He is. It's like drinking poison and expecting somebody else to [dead emoji]. Nobody in the world owes you kindness, respect etc. The people who love you and care for you should supply that willingly and if they don't, they are not your people,' commented one. 'It's 100 per cent on the husband!!! Why is she not calling him out?' asked another. During the call – which initially aired in June but was reshared on the Kyle & Jackie O Show TikTok account on Friday – Kylie tells the hosts she found out a couple of months ago that her husband was having an affair after stumbling across a text message. After discovering multiple messages on her husband's phone, she turned to the radio show for help 'confronting' the mistress. 'Hey Sophie, I know that you don't know me, and I know that I probably haven't even been mentioned, but I believe that you are sleeping with my husband,' she said. Sophie replied by stating the affair was 'still continuing', prompting Kylie to beg her to stop. 'I just want you to know how much this is affecting me,' she said. 'You sleeping with my husband is ruining my life.' Sophie, who appeared to know her bed buddy was married, explained their relationship was purely sexual before adding: 'He does love you though. I don't know if that makes it better.' When Kylie gets distressed by the revelation that she knows, a visibly shocked Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson point out, with Sandilands stating: 'It's not just Sophie's fault, it's also your husbands'. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly how many Australians have affairs, but studies suggest that a significant portion of marriages experience infidelity.

2025 Houses Awards: High Country ‘spaceship' cabin wins big
Four Victorian houses including a High Country spaceship-like cabin have been named among Australia's most exceptional homes of the year. The 2025 Houses Awards presented by Houses magazine recognised multiple abodes across Victoria, NSW and QLD. The New House Under 200sq m category winner was the tiny Sawmill Treehouse by Mansfield-based designer Robbie Walker. 'Jewel box' beach house shines bright at national architecture awards AIA awards, Houses Awards showcase Vic's most spectacular properties of 2024 With its otherworldly appearance, the 48sq m home surrounded by gum trees has drawn comparisons with a spaceship. The best New House Over 200sq m gong went to Ivanhoe's Hedge and Arbour House by architecture practice Studio Bright. In Carlton, a property by Architecture Architecture received the House in a Heritage Context award. The circa-1870s terrace was turned into a home featuring a garden studio for the owners to write and paint in. And a Carlton house alteration and addition by Lovell Burton Architecture also won an award. The historic cottage was extended and renovated to incorporate family-friendly touches such as burnished concrete floors for children to ride their bicycles on. Another Victorian recipient was Windsor's Ellul Architecture which was presented with the Emerging Architecture Practice gong. Houses magazine editor and the awards' jury chair, Alexa Kempton, said many of the winning homes demonstrated inventiveness with several championing sustainable design – including Sawmill Treehouse. Mr Walker said the cabin's owner had spent time camping on the property before she commissioned the cabin. As a result, she fell in love with its tall trees and did not want any removed during construction. The client asked Mr Walker to design a small home to share with her family and friends, which she also rents out for short stays. It features a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room with services concealed below the floor and behind stairs. Being in a high-risk bushfire area, its external material is nonflammable steel while the interiors are timber. Mr Walker said its location near a gully that collects water from the surrounding area posed some difficulty during the design process. His innovative solution was to put the house on stilts, allowing water to flow underneath. 'The large tall trees that fill the area were the inspiration for the tall columns, which were based on the tree trunks,' Mr Walker said. 'They extend past the building just like the trees do.' Another small building on the site has a garage, laundry and outdoor kitchen. Mr Walker described his client as the true hero of the project because 'choosing to build something small when you have the space to go bigger takes real courage'. 'Real estate agents advised that a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house would fetch the best price if they ever decided to sell,' he said. Banks would likely struggle to value a one-bedroom home in a rural area, while planning and building permits for smaller projects require the same consultants, reports and approvals as larger ones, he noted. 'So, after all that effort, resisting the urge to simply double the material use and add extra bedrooms is no small feat,' Mr Walker said. 'In a system that rewards excess, choosing to build less — not out of necessity but out of principle — is just as, if not more, important than the materials themselves. Seeing that decision through takes real courage.' The 2025 Houses Awards winners: Australian House of the Year – Blok Three Sisters by Blok Modular and Vokes and Peters, Queensland New House Under 200 Square Metres – Sawmill Treehouse by Robbie Walker, Victoria New House Over 200 Square Metres – Hedge and Arbour House by Studio Bright, Victoria House Alteration and Addition Under 200 Square Metres – Carlton Cottage by Lovell Burton Architecture, Victoria House Alteration and Addition Over 200 Square Metres – Cloaked House by Trias, NSW Apartment or Unit – Blok Three Sisters by Blok Modular and Vokes and Peters, Queensland Small Project – Window, Window, Window by Panov Scott, NSW Sustainability – Cake House by Alexander Symes Architect, NSW House in a Heritage Context – Mess Hall by Architecture Architecture, Victoria

'There was definitely a one-fingered salute from Jack Ginnivan,' Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy. 'I think we call that the Bailey Smith ... the going rate is $1000, we saw Bailey Smith double-finger salute and also Harley Reid earlier in the year.

The youngster's post-game bird weren't his only cheeky antics on the night, with Ginnivan turning to the crowd after kicking an epic goal on his left foot late in the third quarter and pointing to his ear.
