'I don't think I've moved quicker in my life.' 9News

You know what they say about giving a smile to a crocodile. Can confirm, you don't get one back.

This beast known as 'Bonecruncher' had a go at having me for dinner and I don't think I've moved quicker in my life. Despite the fright, Bonecruncher is the most special croc I've met in my Northern Territory adventures and I won't hold a grudge. He's handicapped and one of outback croc wrangler Matt Wright's favourite salty – they've got a one-in-a-million relationship which has taken eight years to build a mutual respect.I, on the other hand, certainly won't be taking my chances.

Bonecruncher's bottom jaw was ripped out in a croc attack and he's missing his right eye which makes him extremely vulnerable in the wild.

George Floyd protests: Second Nine reporter ambushed in LondonA second Nine reporter has been attacked while reporting on protests over the death of US man George Floyd. 9News Post-9/11, it was clear that journalists could no-longer guarantee their safety in potentially dangerous situations merely by asserting they were journalists. Initially that applied in warzones like Iraq. Increasingly, it applies in fractious western democracies. It's grim.

Nine reporter Sophie Walsh's live cross attacker pleads guilty in courtWalsh had been speaking to 9News Adelaide&x27;s Brenton Ragless from London when the man approached her, making motions to stab her and yelled the words "Allah Akbar". So what's his name? why didn't we hear him yelling 'Admiral Snackbar'? why did the camera man keep filming her afterwards like nothing happened? why didn't he say something?...anything, or help? why didn't he pan around?Why did we cut to a shot of some random guy being arrested? Not reported by any news channel in the UK. Any update on the police in Washington dc who attacked our Aussie journalists and cameraman? Would be happy to hear the same for them.
