‘The #whiteshirtcampaign ensures that – there is ongoing awareness and the raising of funds that go toward the depth and breadth of research around ovarian cancer conducted by the @ocrf in conjunction with @witcheryfashion.
‘I am proud to be an ambassador for such important cause to impact change with my, dear friend and wing woman Julie Bishop’.
It comes after reports police believe killer Joel Cauchi was ‘targeting women’ when he fatally stabbed six people in a horror rampage at Westfield Bondi Junction, the NSW Police Commissioner said.
Cauchi, 40, murdered five women and one man after he entered the shopping centre wielding a 30cm knife on Saturday at about 3.20pm.

The six people killed in Saturday’s rampage have been identified as mother Ashlee Good, 38, advertising heiress Dawn Singleton, 25, architect Jade Young, 47, artist Pikria Darchia, 55, and security guard Faraz Tahir, 30, and Chinese student Yixuan Cheng, 27.
A police source told the Daily Telegraph that investigators believe Cauchi was ‘definitely targeting women’.
Cauchi was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a teenager and his parents said he had gone off his medication, which had triggered his psychosis.
