Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?
The all drugs legal argument has been answered to some extent by someone earlier on this thread in their description of Portland... No it hasn't. Firstly, it's only "decriminalized" there, it's not "legal". And that they may have f-cked it all up in various ways is not evidence that the "legal argu...

Re: Kurt Beale arrested for alleged sexual assault…
Kurtley Beale cleared of all charges. Apparently the “spectacular” difference between the CCTV and the woman’s versions of events made for an “extremely weak case” and Beale's lawyers are seeking to have his legal costs paid for by the state after he was cleared of sexual assault charges in a Bondi...

Sean Maloney - Aus commentator
His commentating has improved out-of-sight this season.
It seems he's dialled the overly excited rugby league style boofhead persona way back and his commentating has improved drastically as a result. I quite like him now.
At least, I not longer feel the need to mute the games.
Good job big man.
