Frankly, as an avid consumer of news, I'd be extremely worried if someone didn't have lots of news links appearing on their FB home feed. LOL. I have zero. So you don't consume news? I don't use Facebook for news, or any other media consumption. Most people under 35 don't. Stephen goes directly to ...

You think I can’t work my way around that.

The wording in the legislation is extremely general, so FB have had to use a very broad brush. They should be commended for trying to comply with Australian laws. No they shouldn’t (and who told you the wording is extremely general?). All companies that operate in Aus should comply with local laws ...

Maybe you should take a look at your own racist PM.

I'm just not keen on racists such as yourself.

Well Stephen, they don't look or act Chinese, because it's not possible to be both Chinese and a New Zealander. And Chinese is an umbrella term meaning anybody with Asian ancestry, so don't come with your nitpicking about "Koreans" and other mythological types. Furthermore I'll have you know that J...

Finally Facebook has very much pushed the culture war that our friends over in that thread love banging on about. They have filtered news sites so you only see opinions that agree with you, and news agencies have responded by going more extreme. Id love to see something come in that stops that. Pro...

Why don't you think these people are Kiwis? And why are you using racist spelling to make your former PMs name sound Korean? Because they don't look, speak or act like a duck. And fudge off with your racist bullshit. Its a nickname. What does a Kiwi look like? And the racist stuff... look at what y...

Looks like to start the season it will be Jackson Garden-Bachop at 10 and Jonathan Taumateine at 9. Without wanting to sound too critical, is that the weakest first choice 9/10 combo in the history of the franchise? The Hurricanes have quality sprinkled throughout their squad, but unless their halv...

I am shocked at the number of people who use Facebook for news, or anything actually. Grandpas. You old fellas need to get hip with the internet jive.

This stinks of... hmmm Hong Kong, Malaysia? Maybe they aren't even Chinese at all? Don't conflate the ills of the CCP with Asian people please. Well they certainly aren't Africans. And they all seem to be speaking Cantonese or Mandarin. How does that refute any of what I said above? And why do you ...

I see Kearns as more colour commentary. He doesn't need to explain the intricacies of the modern game. In any case, there's not much option when it comes to the Aussie commentators. Greg Gowden is okay. The rest are naff. At least Kearns is amusing. Sean Maloney is excellent. Glad Stan has him as l...

Does a country need unanimous votes from the member countries of the TPP to join the TPP? China is probably worried that UK will block them from joining the TPP if they join before them. I do actually think that NZ politics has to a certain extent been compromised by the Chinese. Or NZ just needs t...

I think like you, we'd be happy to let her face the consequences of her actions where she is, but unfortunately there are several very young children involved now.

Isn't AC airflow 'one way' (from outside to in)? The outside exhaust air is just from the cooling of the condensors, I thought? I thought it was two way? I have no idea really though. Go and stand by the vent if it's hot and dry, then I'm right, and you're perfectly safe If, however, it's cold and ...

Thats breathtaking. Like that Atlantic article says, its just makes those Fox liberal caricatures real. Seriously, someone with half a brain should just stop this.

Sensible Stephen

I totally agree. Hotels aren't designed as quarantine centres. They dont have the ventilation and they are in large population centres. Surely that is common sense. So AC has a point even if he is partisan around it. It should be owned by the federal government and managed in remote areas. Its a fe...

The QLD State govt has a 2000 person former mining camp set up ready to go outside Gladstone, in Caliope.

Honestly Clogs, you have a point about hotel quarantine and that is fair to discuss (there were mistakes made, and the revelation that information wasnt passed on to the right people is awful), but you are sounding like a whinging child around the lockdown.

Reds for accidental head high tackles are very harsh. Someone lining up a chest or sometimes even lower tackle have been carded after the attacker slipped or lowered their heads making it a head high. That shouldn't be a red, if a player trips over, even tackling an knee height can result in head co...

Boks need to get a test under their belt. Stats can be skew at times for instance in the RCs stats in this thread 2020 was not a RCs but a Tri-Nation, How can they - they don’t have 400 mins quality game time in advance so it’s not safe.

Hotel quarantines need to stop. They leak way too often, and are usually located in CBDs FFS.

Well apparently Dave Rubin is cancelling Disney+, so look out! https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/ ... 2373811201

But someone did make a good point, its a bit hypocritical of Disney to fire her yet re-hire James Gunn.

Best just not to use twitter full stop I think.
