Re: Australian Politics Thread
Andrew Hastie appears to be going full loon this week. I don’t think he’s trying to win power in the liberal party which is the strange thing, and he’s definitely not saying things which will lend itself to forming government any time soon. He's pretty slick. He's advocating the usual MAGA talking ...

Re: Innocents be damned - Just some rugby chat for rugby blokes, nothing to see here....honest.
65,000 dead , 55,000 from the conflict, 25-30,000 Hamas fighters. If the ratio is there’s 25,000 Hamas fighters left their crime of keeping the tunnels from the air raid system and living directly within the population even more terrible. Add in if there’s 25,000 heavily armed jihadis then they nee...

Re: Charlie Kirk Assassinated
And is it a greater or lesser breach than when Israel Folau did actually breach his employment contract and made anti-gay statements?

Of course it is. Criticising one side only is the same as taking sides. This whole thread is you guys picking at a scab. I find it quite bizarre. This has been said a number of times, but worth repeating. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Anyone associating with them is breaking laws, in the count...

Not sure if I've used quotes right as I tried to shorten the longer conversation.

And for some reason we pumped the kicks to Tooles wing who I don’t think managed to compete for one. Fine to try it but we didn’t change when it wasn’t working. Equally the tackling was dire. And a few dumb mistakes. After Valetinis held up no try, we saw the White / Edmed balls up that should never...

The fudge is going on, first Edmed with that charge down, then Edmed and White not communicating, then Williams being a mile offside, he didn’t need to touch that, then Jorgo with a dumb knock down.
