Re: Honey Badger gooooooooooooone

I suspect the Badger could not resist the tax free yen. I think you will find that he will pay Australian income tax on his earnings. The package here may include Aus tax obligations Interesting from a taxation point of view, because if his employer pays his Australian income tax obligations, that ...

Re: The Australian Politics Thread

It always surprises me how refugees/asylum seekers are treated as political capital by the Australian government. Surely the better thing to do would be to brag about how many refugees you've saved, and how well you've integrated them into society? That would be appropriate for a nation that wants ...

Re: Kurtley Beale - FFS

It's a game that plays out every contract season. Some SMH journalist asks a leading question about a player's future.

Rule 1. Don't believe anything you read in the newspapers. It's entertainment these days, not news in the old-fashioned sense. Even in the good old, bad old, days when journalism at least purported to be about the truth, they got it wrong more times than they got it right. How right can we expect it...

Trouble with airplane accidents is that they are spectacular, and are all over the news, which is the not the case with daily car crashes or other daily events taking lifes away.

Re: Official Australia v France 2nd Test Match Thread

Elton Flatley and Matthew Burke were both very good goal kickers.



It beggars belief that Australian rugby does not really appreciate the value of good kickers, from the hand as well as for goal.
