My next car was legit going to be a Tesla. The purchase was still a way off, but the choice was made.
Now, driving a Tesla would be the automotive equivalent of walking around in a bright red MAGA hat.
Cancel culture? Nah. It’s the free market at work.
I can't get over what I just saw. The President of the most powerful country on the planet just had his own citizens (who were peacefully protesting) teargassed so he could have a photo-op. America might not be dead, but she's certainly intubated.

Well, he's right about that. Perhaps not in the way he thinks, though.

Why does today's Courier Mail analysis on Premier Palaszczuk by Peter Gleeson contain word for word chunks from my analysis for ABC News on Jackie Trad's departure more than two years ago?
Just because it goes beyond the normal “Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi” or “Broncos! [clap-clap-clap], Broncos! [clap-clap-clap]” doesn’t make it worthy of police intervention.
@AriBrisbane
That would be a sentiment I’d give more than five seconds of thought to if other sports, with their disproportionate political clout, were not so constantly lavished with our money.
Every human being who was alive on July 21, 1969, is in this photo. Every human being, that is, except for Michael Collins, who was taking it. RIP, legend.
In a week the need for a rectangular boutique stadium in Brisbane, once again, became so abundantly clear, the Queensland government throws money at ANOTHER boutique venue for AFL and cricket.
New Gabba: $2.7 billion
RNA: $50 million ($150m total)
Lions' Springfield stadium: $18m ($82m total)
Perry Park: Two-tenths of sweet FA
Hand back that scarf.
My first day in Japan for key meetings, including the all important Aussie Rules program at Akabane Elementary School.
Aussie Rules, whilst quintessentially Australian is being played across the globe, including right here in Tokyo- I’m sure there were a couple of Cats fans too!
Hi
@AlboMP
. How about instead of a public holiday if the Matildas do the thing (I ain’t saying it, lest I put the mockers on), the tax collected on just that single day be funnelled into the sport?

The NRL, the AFL and AL are not sport leagues. They are TV products. A true league is a simple home and away competition. I hope the

use this opportunity to break the Australian sporting mould and create a proper comp (yes, with pro/rel). Let the game lead, not broadcasters.
No fan of the Roar, but how good is it seeing people scrambling on social media to pick up spare tickets? Exclusivity breeds demand. Boutique stadiums are a must.
The World Game has about 280,000 registered players in Queensland. Guess that means football should get about five times the funding, right

55,500 registered players (and counting)!

The success of the REDCLIFFE Dolphins in the NRL makes me wonder if the AFL missed a trick by adding the Gold Coast Suns, when the Southport Sharks were right there.
All that's happened today is the government has kicked the Gabba can down the road (it will need to be rebuilt in the medium term) and chosen a path with absolutely zero legacy for Brisbane.
In 2023, we'll have what we have now - a substandard Gabba and a training venue at Nathan
Queenslanders have made it clear to me they do not want to spend billions on new stadiums.
We will not demolish the Gabba.
We won’t be building a new mega stadium at Victoria Park either.
Just phoned a laundry in Edinburgh to check whether I could drop off a load for pickup later. Picking my accent, the Scottish bloke on the end of the line says “as long as you don’t mention Barnaby Joyce that’ll be fine”. Bit random.
I've been in the media for about 20 years now. I've never, as far as I'm aware, worked in a newsroom with an Indigenous colleague. This needs to change.
The Gabba has been one of QLD’s favourite stadiums for more than a century. But it’s time to make it bigger and better than ever.
This major urban renewal project will connect Cross River Rail and the Brisbane Metro with more housing.
