YOU DON'T NEED THE AFL APP.

WE GOT THE SCORE RIGHT HERE.

Why are Australian consumers still being forced into high-pressure digital queues for major stadium events like BTS without basic pricing or seating transparency?

Forcing fans to make high-cost purchasing decisions under a ticking countdown clock - without knowing what seats cost or where they are located upfront - exploits consumers.

In a cost-of-living crisis, hidden pricing is a massive disadvantage to everyday people trying to budget, coordinate interstate travel, and plan accessibility needs.

Consumers have a right to know the price of a product BEFORE they line up for it. It's time for NSW and Victorian consumer regulators to step in and enforce fair ticketing standards for major international tours.

ANY ARTIST coming to Australia, works AROUND our sports. We are a SPORT NATION and our pitches are PRECIOUS GOLD! To be match ready, there's a 2-4 week NO USE of the grounds. AFL starts end of March and finishes end of Sept. There's MAYBE a 3 week window after AFL, before turf prep for Cricket.

1st couple weeks of February is the next window for concert availability. (875 is booked in February.... wonder why??? 🤔🤔)

We only have 2, maybe 3 BIG artists a year in Aus, because of our stadium availability. Mind you, in Melbourne we have FIVE stadiums within 3.7km (2.2 miles) of each other.

If they decided to change, you're talking October 2027, if it isn't already booked out, and if it is, it's now Feb 2028!

So no, you don't just "change the date" in Australia 🙄 please educate yourself before spouting such nonsense.

I said to UNHRC: “We ask the U.N., the media, celebrities, campus activists: why are you silent? The answer is uncomfortable but clear. The Iran protest movement shatters a cherished narrative. A people rising against Islamist tyranny does not fit the ideology—so it is ignored.”

Me and my girlfriend went on color hunting in Berlin this weekend. We picked two random colors and had to make a 3x3 photo grid featuring that color. I got yellow, she got blue, here's the result.

Had lots of fun - highly recommend!

I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it.

I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are reacting on both sides is dangerous. If I had one wish right now it would be for everyone to please just step back and take a breath and remember we are all just sophisticated apes trying to coexist on a rock hurtling through space.

If we cannot tolerate polite and reasoned disagreement then there is no hope for our society.

There is a famous quote falsely attributed to Voltaire that however does sum up a principle of enlightenment philosophy, ‘I disagree with what you say, but I would die to defend your right to say it.’

The ideas of people like John Locke and Voltaire and Thomas Paine are what lead to the American Revolution which then inspired the French Revolution. They introduced the World to the idea that individual rights were important and should be protected from Monarchs (tyrants and dictators), and ultimately led to the idea that a country should be governed by its people NOT by the Church and NOT by a King.

If citizens don’t protect and respect each other’s right to disagree, then we cannot have a democracy. If we do not protect our right to disagree then we’ll get violence.

We do NOT want a society where violence is the way we win arguments, because then nobody wins. Everyone loses.

We are ALL losing right now. The whole society is losing together. Losing to violence. It’s unbelievably sad. It took so much work to get us here. We can’t throw it all away like spoilt children.

I did NOT agree with Charlie Kirk’s views on MANY important topics. I know he helped get Trump elected and people hate him for that. But he was a conservative Christian. What do you expect a conservative Christian to believe? How can those views surprise you? He argued those views calmly, reasonably, and considerately as far as I’ve seen.

But no matter what he did not deserve this. His wife did not deserve this. His kids did NOT deserve to have their world torn apart!

The way some people are being so cold and uncaring and even celebrating is disturbing and repugnant to me. It is making me physically ill. If you are celebrating the murder of a non-violent man for his opinions then you are NOT the better person. Look in the mirror. Imagine telling his kids how you feel. Step back. Take a breath. Remember we are all humans. We are all just flickers of consciousness in an endless eternity. Love IS the answer. I really mean it.

We are quite literally ALL in this together. If this ship sinks we ALL drown. Look around you. Everyone you see is a shipmate. We have to figure this out. We have no other choice.

[Jacinta Nampijinpa @JNampijinpa]

A National Embarrassment

When the Prime Minister of Australia takes a position on foreign policy and the first to celebrate is a listed terrorist organisation responsible for murder, rape, and kidnapping, it is not a diplomatic triumph.

It is a moral catastrophe. It fails the hostages. It fails Israel. It fails Australia.

Anthony Albanese’s decision to prematurely recognise Palestinian statehood has now earned him open praise from Hamas, the very group whose barbaric October 7, 2023 massacre shattered any hope for peace and a two-state solution.

That alone should tell every Australian just how dangerously misguided this policy is.

Our Prime Minister has handed a propaganda victory to a death cult that openly vows to repeat October 7 until Israel is wiped off the map -- the only full liberal democracy in the region.

In doing so, Anthony Albanese has sent a dangerous message to terrorists everywhere: violence works.

This is not leadership. It is weakness disguised as principle. It is recklessness disguised as diplomacy. And it is domestic political posturing at the expense of Israel’s security and the Palestinian people’s future.

If Hamas is applauding you, you have lost your moral compass.
Australians deserve a government that defends our values, not one that bows to the applause of terrorists.

We must reject policies that embolden extremists and recommit to standing with our allies in the fight against hatred, violence, terrorism and evil.

Introverts don't get bored. They love their company. Just chilling around the house. Looking out the window. Browsing old photos. Cringing about something they said 3 years ago. Feeling ten different emotions in 4 seconds. 2 hours of self-talk. Walk. Eat. Nap. But never bored.
