1. Daniel O’Keeffe farewelled at funeral.
Geelong man Daniel O’Keeffe, who went missing in mid-2011 and whose remains were found under his family home last month, has been farewelled at his funeral.
Dan’s father Des O’Keeffe yesterday delivered a moving eulogy for his son.
“Dan was always and always will be my main man,” Mr O’Keeffe said, according to the Courier Mail. “Losing him is beyond words.”
The service was held at St Mary’s church in Geelong.
The remains of the young man were found between a wall of the house and a solid limestone rock by his father on 21 March.
Dan had been suffering from depression and anxiety before his disappearance on 15 July 2011. Police are not treating his death as suspicious.

2. “Hotties of Melbourne Uni” Facebook page removed.
A controversial Facebook page, “Hotties of Melbourne Uni,” has been removed from the popular social media platform following a massive petition to have it taken down.
According to Triple J’s Hack program, the page was removed this week - but it was not clear whether the page’s anonymous administrators or Facebook removed the page.
The page, which featured photos of Melbourne University students posted without their consent, prompted about 23,000 people to sign a Change.org petition advocating for its removal. The University of Melbourne has also said it has been asking Facebook for a year to take the page down.
