The plight of former Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste has been recreated in Sydney across the past six weeks for Kriv Stenders' 'The Correspondent', a new film based on his memoir 'The First Casualty' that has now wrapped filming.

Nine has begun production in Victoria on upcoming crime drama 'Human Error', with Leeanna Walsman set to appear alongside Rahel Romahn, Stephen Peacocke, Matt Day, Rob Collins and Steve Bisley.
Rahel Romahn was named the 11th recipient of the Heath Ledger Scholarship in an online ceremony last Friday.
