The Wallabies appear to have turned a corner in their latest test match.

Australia managed to draw with the All Blacks 16-16 in the opening Bledisloe Cup match in Wellington - an encouraging performance from the visitors on both sides of the ball.

It sets up a tantalising battle in the second Bledisloe in Auckland this weekend.

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson told Heather du Plessis-Allan, humorously, how excited he is with what is ahead.

"We're back, we're back... you should be worried now the All Blacks are done... it's all over, it's finished. Here we all thought rugby in Australia's dead," he says.

Meanwhile, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has revealed shocking details about a former MP Daryl Maguire who she had a close, personal relationship with dating back five years, exposing vulnerability in a typically private politician.

Mr Peterson says it raises plenty of questions.

"We're not insinuating she is corrupt by any nature and that is not what is being found at the moment, but you can understand the New South Wales liberals in particular are saying she cannot survive."
