Talkback radio legend John “Golden Tonsils” Laws has died at the age of 90. Nicknamed “Golden Tonsils”, the talkback host passed away peacefully in Sydney over the weekend, being cared for at his home in Woolloomooloo. Laws was most famous for his lengthy stint on Sydney’s 2UE, starting back in 1957, and while he initially retired from radio in 2007, he later signed with 2SM in 2011. He is survived by his three children, Sam, Sarah and Joshua. While best known for his radio career, in recent years Law was also making a series of clever property moves.

Australian actor Hugh Jackman has put his $57.7m (US$38.9m) New York City apartment on the market again, two years after trying to sell the triplex property. Jackman bought the property for US$21m in 2008, where he lived with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, according to Realtor. The Wolverine star has since bought a new apartment in nearby Chelsea, following the breakdown of his marriage last year. He previously tried to list the three-storey, five-bedroom condo for rent — seeking A$185,480 (US$125,000) per month.
