This!
The big problem was that the Govt cannot enact any policy without inserting some stuff into so everyone is in no doubt that they're complete, craven cnuts.

In a move that will be fairly commonplace in this part of the world, my organisation is implementing a flexible working policy that mandates a minimum two days per week in the office. Areas of the business are free to stipulate certain days where employees in that area are expected to be in the off...

If the proponents of the lab theory didn't go full retard and try to prove that the virus was engineered in the face of lots of evidence it wasn't, all whilst attacking pretty much every coronavirus researcher on social media, they'd be far more persuasive. It's very clear the CCP both covered up t...

Couldn't be bothered going over the whole thing in my state, so will look at a bit and assume the rest is just as bad. The furin cleavage site. The furin cleavage site is a minute part of the virus’s anatomy but one that exerts great influence on its infectivity. It sits in the middle of the SARS2 ...

Jacinda Adern looking very affable and attractive on The Project tonight, trying to encourage Aussies to visit New Zealand. She comes across as very friendly and natural. She's awesome! She's a much younger, much more attractive Helen Clark but also PM, also Labour, and also with a rather deep voic...

Great contest not such a great game, so many errors. Some questionable calls Berry is our very own Nigel Owens. That said it was a good outcome for Oz rugby.

How about the DDT from Wright on Stewart? How that was missed is baffling. Anyway, I went to the game. The atmosphere was electric. That's the only word for it. The last 20 minutes were insane. Just pure unadulterated raw screaming. Everyone was going off their tits. There was a moment when Berry c...

Very physical, full on for 80 minutes, Australia offers quite a challenge in every contest situations. It willl be quite a battle.

I’m glad the big fella is going well. What did you think of

Sorry, either trans women are women or they’re not, if by YOUR measure they need a judge to decide then they’re not. I agree with you that Transgender women should be sent to a women's prison. But ultimately it's a judge who needs to make that call. So lawyers decide and their decisions are based o...

Great draw for the Aussie teams. 14 home games v 11 away. All the kiwi teams have 2 home games, and 3 away, except the Canes who get 3 at home v 2 away.. Force drew the short straw amongst the Aussie teams. 2 home v 3 away. Brumbies will be on a plane Monday to play the Crusaders who get to have a ...

Keen to know if any Frenchies have seen any Oz rugby this year, and if so, what their thoughts might be on the standard. Be kind though…. The only games I watched were the two games against Argentina. I thought there was a lot of attacking potential but wasted by a lack of direction. But I think bo...

The coverage of yesterday’s Super Rugby Oz final from Channel 9 was first class. Fox have never been close, and only half of that reason is because they didn’t care. They just don’t have the capability. It made me realise how important the move away from Fox was, and not just because Pay TV is a par...

Latish in the second half there was a tackle where a Reds player was clearly unbound in front of the tackled player and the Brumbies were penalised. At best it should have been accidental offside but was more likely a penalty. The other was when the ball went into touch after the ball pinballed aro...

... they are contemplating not taking the Top 14 finalists on tour, so that is at least Toulouse gone and may be La Rochelle or Bordeaux. On top of this, they seem to be enclined to let Dupont, Ollivon, Aldritt or Fickou take a break and regardless of when their clubs end their seasons, they will n...

Lots of sports don't provide advantage to those that are stronger or more powerful: archery, shooting, lawnbowls... dozens or hundreds of sports. Why are men better at all or most of them? They have separate divisions at the Olympics because it would be unfair otherwise, but why? Is someone out the...

Article is rubbish. Will expand more if not too hungover tomorrow. The bloke simply isn’t an expert. He’s a journo with an interest in science. Some off the stuff he covers is exactly in my field and it’s just speculation. My guess is 80/20 it’s natural. China’s still completely to blame for their ...

The FFR has windows during which they can get the players full time. Those windows are negotiated with the clubs. Players are employed by the clubs. I have not read that players would not go except if not selected by Galthié. Players involved in the final of the T14 and selected will not be able to...

It’s only France - WR should just fine the arse out of their clubs until they join the party. This isn’t soccer - send the lawyers in and sort out the greedy cnuts.

I thought Berry had a good game and was fair - he's a very good communicator and he's consistent imo. I actually think he's the best Australian ref we've ever had. But, maybe I'm completely wrong and bias clouds my thinking. The Brumbies are a cynical team and they push the envelope, however, I woul...

I am genuinely surprised as to how much that title meant to me. If you had told me 2 years ago that I wouldn't given a rat's arse about being the champion oz team I would have thrown cyber ice at you. Maybe it's just been a really bad year.... I don't talk about it and rarely even think about it all...
