What Is The National Day Of Mourning? & The Case For Boy Mums

Today, Australia observes a formal National Day of Mourning to honour the 15 people whose lives were taken in the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

How is the country marking this moment of reflection? And how can you at home do the same?

Plus, Mamamia’s Annaliese Todd weighs in on the modern shift toward preferring daughters and makes the case for raising the next generation of actually good men.

And in headlines today, the coalition between the Liberals and Nationals looks to be on the brink of failing again after frontbenchers from the regional party tendered their mass resignations, only for Opposition Leader Sussan Ley to reject them; US President Donald Trump has ruled out the use of force in his bid to control Greenland, but said in a speech in Davos that ⁠no other country can secure the Danish territory; Prince Harry held back tears as he said the Daily Mail had made his wife Meghan's life "an absolute misery" during his appearance in the witness box at London's High Court in his privacy lawsuit against the paper's publisher; Taylor Swift and Alanis Morissette have been named among the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees
