@LeagueScenePod Interesting ….half backs feigning , have we gone back to the 70’s - the ‘scrums’ are no more than a lean to with a mystery bag of players chatting to each other - an issue that is not an issue …..
This outcome by the NACC amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist for those found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct and intentionally misleading the Cabinet and Commonwealth Ombudsman. Australians will be rightly outraged by this lack of accountability.
I always thought Tony Abbott was a pretty unworthy recipient of the PMship of Australia, and everything that he's done since then has confirmed that view. #auspol#IStandWithGrace
Another highly qualified woman the pro-Israel lobby have a problem with
Cathy Willcox's job is a political cartoonist; she is not an abalone diver
Her entire job is to question, analyse and provoke discussion - that is the entire point of a political cartoonist
She is one of the greatest cartoonists Australia has ever produced, of far more astuteness, intelligence and respect in her profession than the men now inciting a disgusting pile-on, to the point this woman is now fearing for her safety
Anybody who's still supporting this narrative by this stage knows exactly what they're doing

Well done England on a belated victory. But there's a massive elephant in the room after this Test IMO. Two two-day Tests this series exposes an issue I think has been lurking for some time. And it's NOT about pitches. It's about the disappearance of both technique and sufficient concentration skills from the art of batting.
Look how often teams have been skittled for ridiculously low tallies over the past decade. Why? No, we haven't suddenly started playing on worse tracks. Yes, this pitch helped the bowlers a lot. But anyone who has read about cricket in the era of uncovered wickets or (like me) witnessed some of those crack-riddled MCG nightmare tracks of the 1980s with grubbers and 'poppers' taking heads off knows that it hasn't actually been THAT bad.
I'm not a huge fan of T20 (just find it all a bit 'same-ish') but accept it's bringing new fans to the game. But I'm finding it harder to believe it's not seriously impacting players' ability to play at Test level. So what happens when new players and fans (via T20) come only at the expense of the quality of the game the people who love cricket most MOST love? That's where I think we're at. And when the standard of Test cricket begins to obviously suffer, that is a BIG problem.

Chris Bowen blasts Nats for betraying farmers on Net Zero but congratulates Michael McCormack after his rural electorate sours to 3rd highest in taking up solar batteries
“I know it warms his heart”🤣
“Many ppl who have solar panels & a battery get a Net Zero energy bill”💥#QT
@Peter_Fitz I would like to see the current stats of family farms v corporate ownership in Australia - there are many farms that are managed by farmers but owned by corporations - the Nats never seem to mention this …..
@M_McCormackMP@SkyNewsAust Unfortunately for the Riverina electorate Michael the Nationals are a lonely voice in the wilderness- once again not reading the room & not learning…..
