Re: Australian Politics Thread

Tony Abbott showed in 2009-2010 that effective scare campaigns cut be waged against climate action, especially if they're focussed on cost of living. Whilst the world has moved on since that time, and renewables are much more ingrained in society, the fact remains that elections can still be won an...

It has become tedious, every time I log in, or try to, I have to spend minutes clicking. Too many ads using too much internet.

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2025?

Halfway through Season 3 of The Diplomat. A big let down so far.

They've had to crowbar in a totally new direction and have lost 50% of the charm by si...

We all hope Wright comes right soon. A smokie for the 15 shirt is James Hendren. Too soon, but he will definitely be in the frame by the time 2027 rolls around.

We record the rugby, maintain radio silence, then watch it at a convenient time. We have STAN, but will use Foxtel because STAN doesn't work properly in our building, for some unknown reason.
