ERIN Sundays at 7pm HATERS ONLINE: ERIN MOLAN FIGHTS BACK Tuesday September 13 at 8pm Sky News [103/600] Arriving at the Molan family home on a subzero winter’s morning for our Father’s Day shoot, the FOXTEL magazine team was welcomed with open arms, a sea of smiling faces and an offer of a hot cup of coffee. After 36 moves due to the retired major general’s many deployments with the Australian Army, Jim and wife Anne put down roots in picturesque Royalla, just outside Canberra, in 2008 as a place for the family – children Erin, Sarah, Felicity, Michael and their families – to call home. Indeed, the house is a hive of activity, with three generations staying for the school holidays, including Erin, her cherubic little girl, Eliza, four,…

They say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and, in the case of Sky News personality Erin Molan, it’s immediately clear that she’s inherited more than just her father Jim’s statuesque genes. The moment we arrived for FOXTEL magazine’s Father’s Day shoot with the pair at the family home in Royalla, rural New South Wales near the ACT border, it was clear they are peas in a pod. Both highly intelligent and with a voracious appetite for news and politics, the directive to “pretend to chat” while walking for the photos turned into a deep and meaningful discussion about the current political climate. This resulted in lots of big hand gestures and open mouths – and a quick do-over. Oops! It should come as no surprise, then,…

With the series shrouded in secrecy, she couldn’t even tell anyone she’d landed the part, let alone celebrate her career-defining news. “I got the phone call and I stepped outside – I was at a friend’s…

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder – and that couldn’t be truer this month, with the return of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix after a two-year COVID-19-enforced hiatus. The sport’s original night race became an instant hit when it was first held in 2008, offering a real feast for the eyes. It’s an incredible race to be at and not just due to the F1 cars threading the barriers at up to 320km/h under lights, sparks flying. There’s also the big-name music acts that take the stage, the line-up led this year by Grammy-nominated DJ Marshmello, US punk icons Green Day and ARIA-winning Aussie artist The Kid Laroi. With 2022 marking the 13th edition of the race, it’s hard to believe now that, back in the mid-2000s,…
