Irwin says Prince William 'truly cares' about nature
Conservationist Robert Irwin can see that Prince William "truly cares" about the environment. The 21-year-old son of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin recently teamed up with the heir to the British throne after he was was named a Global Ambassador for the Prince of Wales' Earthshot Prize. Ahead of the two joining forces again at the London Climate Action Week, Irwin said the royal is clearly dedicated to "putting a spotlight" on the issue. He told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I love being around passionate people, it inspires me. The prince is just that - passionate, curious and thoughtful. I've been fortunate enough to share many great discussions about the things we love about the natural world. And it's clear that he has a profound love for wildlife and wild places. "He knows that he can put a spotlight on people making a real difference. He takes this responsibility very seriously, and he has a great ability to direct attention to where it needs to be. He is very compassionate and works hard to make sure that his conservation efforts benefit people as much as the environment. "I am always impressed by his knowledge and dedication and in the conversations I have had with him, I often learn something new. Most importantly though, he truly cares about a healthy planet for our future generations." He said: "I have the privilege of carrying on a conservation legacy that my dad and my family created, and that is something very important to me. It makes me feel incredibly excited and hopeful when I get to join forces with like-minded causes dedicated to making the world a better place. To be part of an initiative that shares the values of our own charity efforts through Wildlife Warriors is a great honour."

Australian film industry legend dies after long battle with brain tumour
The Australian film industry is in mourning after legendary sound recordist Paul 'Salty' Brincat died last month, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. The beloved sound recordist died in late May in New South Wales, after a long battle with illness. He was one of the country's most respected film identities, and worked on many Australian-filmed Hollywood blockbusters. Paul's family has set up a GoFundMe page which has a target of $10,000, to help with the funeral costs, and has currently raised over half its goal. 'It's hard to understate the profound impact that Paul Brincat has had upon the Australian Film Industry,' the page reads. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'For decades Salty was at the cutting edge of sound, recording dialogue for Hollywood Blockbusters and independent Australian feature films alike. 'So it is with no surprise that so many of our extended film family are travelling from far and wide, to Murwillumbah, to pay homage to the great man himself. 'With so many wonderful people in attendance, we have put together a small fundraiser, to help alleviate his family of some of the Behind the Scenes costs of the memorial.' Across his career, he worked on the 2002 Steve Irwin movie Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, The Invisible Man and many other acclaimed productions. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1999 for his sound work on the Sean Penn film The Thin Red Line. Paul also won an Emmy Award in 1996 for Outstanding Sound Mixing on the short-lived US series Flipper, featuring Neighbours star Alan Dale. Heartbroken colleagues took to social media to pay tribute to Paul. 'I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of one of our longstanding members. He was much loved,' wrote industry body the Australian Screen Sound Guild. 'Vale Paul. Despite his formidable resume, I found that Salty was an extremely humble man, devoid of ego,' added fellow sound recordist Josh O'Donnell. 'I can honestly say that I would not be the man I am today without Salty.' 'We have lost a legend,' Aussie cameraman Jason Binnie chipped in. Paul worked in the industry for four decades, from the early '80s until last year. His final work was on the 2024 Australian film The Nut Farm, featuring Madeleine West and Arj Barker. Paul's funeral will be held on Saturday, June 14 in his home town of Murwillumbah, regional NSW.

The 26-year-old conservationist - who is the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin - recently had to endure her brother Robert, 21, stripping down to his boxers for a promotional deal with Bonds as well as appearing shirtless in his Dancing with the Stars announcement and has found it "rough" to see the whole thing go viral. Speaking on the 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, she told host Kylie Kelce: "There are some things as his sister that I can't just unsee. "When he did the Dancing announcement, he was shirtless, and when he did his Bonds commercial, he was just in his underwear,r and it is…it is rough." Despite her embarrassment over her brother's sudden sex appeal, she "really is so proud of him" because of how he is managing to get their message of conservation out there, what she is choosing to focus on. She said: I really am so proud of him. He's taking the message of conservation to new heights. He's really nailing the, 'Hey look over here,' and steering them in the right direction. "I was probably liking and commenting on his 'steering in the other direction' posts. Rather than his um... "Watching him grab people's attention in such a big way. 'And then pivot and say, 'Here's what we do, here's our work, here's our dedication to wildlife and conservation and you can get involved.' It is wonderful and extraordinary to watch him shine.' The Crikey It's The Irwins star is "a little bit scared" of some of her brother's female fans but still thinks her brother is "doing really well" with how he is coping with all of the sudden attention on his body.

Robert recently explained that his new campaign may seem "out of the ordinary", he is appreciative of the "platform" he has so that he can continue to get the message about conversation out into the world. He said: "It seems so out of the ordinary for what I would do, but I get to be with Aussie Wildlife, I get to approach a new audience, a new platform, and get my wildlife conservation message out there to more people. And that is what means so much to me and my family. "I'm representing Australia! So I wanted to look my best and to feel my best and just feel really confident. And so I've done more sit-ups and had less carbs than I ever have in my life, but it's been fun.. "At Australia Zoo, our beautiful wildlife sanctuary, it's great, I've got about 700 acres to just run. So I've been doing a lot of sprints, a lot of hill sprints. "My brother-in-law Chandler, he's a professional athlete so he gave me a lot of great tips. And my mom actually did bodybuilding! She had more biceps then than I'll ever have."
