@TUnlimitedd Not only behind a paywall, but also not covered on Foxtel/Kayo, home of white ball cricket played in Australia plus many overseas tours. Sadly time zones are a challenge also
@TUnlimitedd Xavier Bartlett has the potential to get a contract for 2026-27 with his white ball bowling importance for Australia plus potential future test cricket selection
EXCL: The ABC will broadcast the VFL for the first time in over a decade, Crikey can reveal. It follows Channel Seven dumping the state league after struggling through the restrictions of the 2025 season and Fox Footy Super Saturdays.

[Blog] Did you know that 1920s church preachings still influence Melbourne's train and tram timetables? Learn how and why as I discuss the power plays of churches, unions and governments that shape our transport services today. https://t.co/DerjkbJePZ #springst
that Dutton press conference was quite... something
He's now confirmed no public service cuts outside Canberra, so all 41,000 to come from the ACT
