@HenryInnis I’m with you on this, feels like a media witch hunt with very limited justification. Similarly the whole Qatar thing… last time I looked practically every government in the world protects the interests of its national airline(s).
@peterfilopoulos@TheMatildas Fantastic!
Why only the Matildas matches on free to air?
Is this due to the government not including the event on the anti-syphoning list?
If so how do we all learn from this and build a more adaptive system for the future that better supports sport?

@rorysutherland I’m in. There’s a couple of coffee shops in Melbourne that won’t hesitate to tell you fuck off if you ask for milk in your coffee, maybe a sister chain - ‘Long Black or Rack Off’?
This seems a hugely exciting development.
Sure football in Australia has its challenges but if it can create a league structure that genuinely rewards performance it would introduce a new competitive dynamic in AUS sport. (Feel free to correct me if another sport does this)
It's an historic day for Australian football with the National Second Division taking shape 🙌
23 clubs from six states and territories have submitted EOIs with Football Australia to join the new national second tier.

@rorysutherland Electric scooter charging station, enables end point trip extension for those charging cars or pedestrians. If prolific enough could replace the current model of dumping scooters in random spots
