Kane is a fantastic player.

His on field conduct is, however, a regular disgrace.

If Kobie could read the signs, she'd see:

- A Cantonese butcher
- A Taiwanese restaurant
- A Tianjin restaurant
- A Nepali restaurant (with Nepalese making 15.8% of the suburb's population)
- Dishes from Jiangsu, Teochew and Beijing - three separate cultural/language groups in Mainland China
- A shipping business whose model depends on customers proudly sending Australian-made gifts (of high quality milk formula, Merino bedding, and high-quality vitamins) to loved ones across Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the US
- A yoga studio run by a trilingual Hong Konger, with trainers from Beijing, New Zealand, Sydney
- A supermarket with traditional characters on one side (海龍) and simplified on the other (海龙) showing the Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong migration wave being replaced by a Mainland Chinese wave

And if she panned her camera over the road, we'd be seeing Singaporean, Malaysian and Vietnamese restaurants too.

To be describing this as a "monoculture" is a thinly veiled dog-whistle to: "all Asians are the same".

If Kobie cared to look, she'd be describing this as a melting pot - diversity in practice, coming together as a shared community - not a monoculture.

Anyone with an atlas or a recipe book could tell you that's not a monoculture.

It's Dal Bhat Tarkari next door to Pho, next door to Boba, next door to Nasi Lemak, opposite Nanjing Duck, next door to Yum Cha.

If Kobie cared to look, she also wouldn't be using this video to try to tell a story of "suburbs full of people who have refused to assimilate for decades".

The changing signs (already visible in the video) show it's just the latest chapter in an ever-changing story of a suburb where SEVERAL generations of new Australians - from MANY different cultures - have got a start: first Italian and Greek Australians, then Hong Kong born Australians, then Mainland Chinese Australians, and now increasingly Nepalese Australians.

To those who don't see it yet, ask:
- Where did the Greeks, Italians, and Cantonese Hong Kong shop owners who used to be there go?
- Where did their families go?
- What happens to the people behind the windows when the shop signs fade and change?

Those Australians deserve better than dog-whistling and divisiveness.

It wasn't his fault. Nobody was ever mad at Balogun.

Once knocked out I can’t wait for Americans to claim no one in their country actually cares about the World Cup after they spent 24 hours celebrating in bipartisan unison that their president actively interfered in the tournament.

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

I’m so happy Trump and Infantino tried to rig this for the US. This feels so delicious.

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

Getting dogwalked by a washed Belgium after getting the president to rig the game, maybe the most embarrassing performance of this tournament

Dear Lucas Herrington,

if you ever read this: The 31 y/o CL winner Leon Goretzka, player of 6 times CL winners Bayern & 4 times World Cup winners Germany didn‘t dare taking a penalty for his nation when they needed him. You did it at 18. You are so brave & a hero in our eyes ❤️

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨 Iran captain Mehdi Taremi just exposed @FIFAcom and the US:

“This is a disaster World Cup. Infantino promised to fix everything in our locker room… he did nothing. We can’t stay in Seattle — forced back to Tijuana every time. They want us out.”

Visa denials for staff. Day-before travel from Mexico. No recovery. Constant harassment because Iran refuses to bow.

This isn’t sport. It’s political sabotage by the empire using the World Cup as a weapon.

FIFA claims neutrality while Infantino plays lapdog. Iranian players still fighting with dignity.

Expose it. Stand with the players.
