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: Bogan Bingo- Racist tirade on Central Coast train
My wife is Asian, and I have always been very conscious of any form of insulting behaviour towards her. I am pleased to say that in 15 years, she has never had any problems at all. Then again, we do not travel on public transport all that often. x( Public transport is pretty crappy in this country, ...

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 ...

Again... like fats, you assume you know the truth. All I am suggesting is that a proper process be followed before judgement is made. Yes, there is a lot of obfuscation going on, on all sides. But if we waited for the truth to emerge, the bored would die of errrrr boredom. And, anyway, who decides ...

Well, chaps, I have to admit to a degree of prejudice against Tamils. The Tamil Tigers were the nice folks who introduced the world to the concept of the suicide bomber.

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. Player implies they might consider a move to league / AFL / France / tiddlywinks. Journo beats the story up, making it seem as if the player has actively proffered the comment. Fan...

Re: Kurtley Beale - FFS
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. Well, that's the idiotic point about the so-called news. If an event does not happen somewhere where there is a televisi...

But it was not just him. The Wallabies had possession with about 1 minute to go. Someone (Beale?) kicked it back to the French. It must have been the game plan. Win ugly.

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.
