Fitness was Kristel Hudson's greatest passion her entire life, but everything changed when she discovered she was pregnant weeks after her relationship broke down. One year later in March 2015, her beloved father - who had raised her as a single parent - died from lung cancer, a devastating loss that pushed the marketing coordinator from Sutherland, south of Sydney, into a deep depression. Grappling with the emotional and financial pressures of raising daughter Isla alone, Ms Hudson sought comfort in junk food and gained 20 kilos on a diet of chicken shop hot chips, sugar-laced slurpees and Chinese takeaway.  But after overhauling her lifestyle and toning up with almost daily workouts, Ms Hudson went on to win one of Australia's top bikini modelling competitions in October 2019 - a show of gritty determination she hopes to pass on to her little girl.

A leading disease expert has warned Daniel Andrews' road map out of lockdown is flawed because his target of five daily cases is 'unrealistic' and Victoria's contact tracing is too unreliable. Professor Peter Collignon from the Australian National University, said Victoria's strategy to eliminate COVID-19 is 'not sustainable' and unlikely to be achieved in the timeline set down by the state Premier.
