@vanOnselenP Peter Brock’s SS Commodore is being restored to re-enact Australia’s America’s Cup victory.

@haribaldijones @AnthonyMcGrif @TalksRugby @wallabies @soupercocky @Disco_Dougie @NSWWaratahs @Reds_Rugby @BrumbiesRugby @westernforce @GAGR There is a body of evidence building that their best development happens in overseas clubs. Ramm, Kelloway, Skelton. Should be part of the pathway.

@AnthonyMcGrif @TalksRugby @wallabies @soupercocky @TimFindlay @Disco_Dougie @NSWWaratahs @Reds_Rugby @BrumbiesRugby @westernforce @GAGR Dunno an entire XV but Ramm would be in it. Arnolds (one on the bench). Samu, McMahon, Scott-Young, Staniforth, Sio?

Here is the quandary for Australian Rugby. Seeing players like Ram killing it in Premier Rugby sometimes hurts... but would he get a start in any current Super Rugby team? If so, who are you dropping for him?

@AnthonyMcGrif @soupercocky @Disco_Dougie I almost always felt at sea playing blindside. Was I supposed to play loose or tight? Wide or in close? Give me lock or openside any day!!!

Blindside flanker for me… @soupercocky @TimFindlay @Disco_Dougie what you guys reckon?

@anshu2701 @Dr_McCockliffe @RomanEagles @MarkGottlieb @ICC Rohit Sharma knows he hit it. Jaiswal knows it as well. It’s the sign of the team’s character that they can’t accept it. By not accepting it they ensured defeat. If they got on with it they could have played for a draw. Besides, video replay is also valid technology. Move on.

@Dr_McCockliffe @RomanEagles @MarkGottlieb @ICC As if umpiring decisions have not been wrong in the past. 😀

Reasons India lost the #BoxingDayTest: - Sharma & Kohli being walking wickets - Jaiswal’s poor catching - Pant’s dumb batting Things that didn’t cost India: - ‘cheating’ Aussies - ‘cheating’ umpires - ‘optical illusions’ - ‘late swing’

@TimBrow03032833 @Joe_Canadian20 @_consistentgolf He ‘failed to tie’, meaning he missed. Poor writing but comprehension was obtainable.

In Bryson DeChambeau’s latest “break the course record at a public course” he shot a 66 failing to tie the course record by 4 shots. This should end the debate of “pro golfers will demolish public courses” Will they play well? Yes, of course, they are pro golfers. But so many people think they will go out there are shoot in the 50s or low 60s every single round. At the end of the day, they still need to make putts to go super low. And a 10 footer is still a 10 footer. Their make % doesn’t go from 40% to 90% just because it’s an “easy” public course So next time you play really well at an “easy” course be joyful because you still had to play great golf to make that happen.

@julianjpotter @GrogsGamut Nice back track. Taking tax receipts to ‘retire’ debts is smart. Fiscally it took heat out of the economy and strengthened government. Treasury doesn’t issue bonds because market needs them. They are to fund government expenditure. QE is a different matter entirely.

@TimFindlay @GrogsGamut For cancel, read "retire" and "purchase on market". This was carried out by Costello, who discovered the market needs bonds, actually.

@wendeeeez @TMFScottP Bring on automation.

@TMFScottP As a train driver in a different state I say go hard to the lads. It's an utterly thankless job with terrible hours. They deserve to be well remunerated. Also, Sydney Trains is rather unique where it's the entire company on strike. They only have 1 agreement. 14000 workers.

In what world is a 32% increase in wages over four years a decent expectation? I get that the union is trying it on, but fair dinkum, it's an ambit claim because they thought they could get away with it. They're entitled to ask, of course. The government is right to say no 1/4

@JEChalmers @SenKatyG It would help if you treat budgets as money thats not yours.

We think of budgets as about people and communities, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. So @SenKatyG and I have broken down what the mid-year budget update means for you. #auspol #ausecon

@KosSamaras @ruch_the1 Kos, please. This is an edited clip. There’ll be just as much opposition to unions choosing this time to inflict damage and inconvenience.

@ruch_the1 Watch the clip you blind troll.

Union members disrupting flights. This was aired a few days ago. In 2024, Australians side with union members taking action to protect their wages and rights. This will be one of the sacred cows the Coalition will need to eliminate if they have any hope in winning a ton of outer urban seats. Abandon their anti union, anti worker rhetoric, and go after companies that exploit every day Australians. Will they do it? Time will tell.

@GrogsGamut I really am surprised we haven’t heard from the MMT crowd. Do they have a private WhatsApp group or something?

@Skasaha_ @PsychoLlama70 @GrogsGamut Explain to me how it’s regressive?

@koouryan @GrogsGamut Like Albo isn’t going to buy votes!!

@GrogsGamut But they rained it all back down with middle class welfare to 'buy' votes to be elected for another term. Created the 'entitled' state of mind we have now days.

@julianjpotter @GrogsGamut That is complete nonsense. Cancelling federal bonds? What happens to the buyers/holders of those bonds?

@GrogsGamut Costello put billions in tax receipts into cancelling fed bonds, something that the RBA can do and has done itself with no fiscal impact. So yes, we can confidently say it was wasted.

@some_sense @GrogsGamut Albanese’s answer to inflation was massive spending programs, an expanding public sector, more immigration, a $600 million rugby league team and a $400 million flawed referendum. Chalmers hasn’t been in there long enough to claim any plaudits and Swan was laughed at.

@SimonBanksHB For a PR guy you’re pretty shit at PR.

Congratulations John Howard and Peter Costello You have maintained your record as the highest taxing Government in Australian history And congratulation Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg For keeping your recordas having the highest gross and net debt #MYEFO

@tax_oz @TheKouk He’s half correct. If the dollar is weakening despite our rates being comparatively higher, it points to a general lack of appetite for Australia. I.e things are going to get worse.

@TheKouk Cutting rates to improve the $??? 😂😂 You are Kouked mate

AUD below 0.6200... RBA must cut interest rates to restore some confidence / activity in the economy

@Neil1889 @WG_RumblePants Bazball died at the last Ashes in England. They couldn’t win a home series against an underperforming Aussie side. They were done then.

@WG_RumblePants Bazball will end this time next year when England have lost an away Ashes before Xmas again. Macullm will be sacked in Jan 26 and Stokes will retire

To nobody’s surprise 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 lost to 🇳🇿 by a massive 423 runs. Sadly, the scale of the defeat, the reckless nature of some of the dismissals and another Stokes injury are likely to overshadow the fact 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 won their first series in 🇳🇿 since 2008. As ever, Bazball remains a mixed bag.

@jimi_mased @clairlemon ndis.gov.au/news/10480-cri…

@TimFindlay @clairlemon What’s in plain sight, you’re an ignorant asshole with zero knowledge of this topic or its subjects. Maybe it’s you who needs to sell the house & have a lobotomy.

The number 1 tell that the NDIS is a scam is the fact that the average cost of the average package increases year on year. If the services being paid for were genuinely helping participants, you'd expect costs to come down. x.com/misha_saul/sta…

@KosSamaras John Howard was successful in targeting middle and lower classes, particularly small business owners. That was only 17 years ago. Not even two decades. I think you’ve let your perceptions rule your thinking.

Peter Dutton and the Coalition face two significant hurdles. 1.Winning over economically stressed voters in key seats. These voters need to be convinced that life would meaningfully improve under a Coalition government. So far, we have seen little evidence that these voters believe the Coalition offers a better future. 2.Overcoming decades of entrenched perceptions. The Coalition has long been seen as the party of big business, corporate interests, and the erosion of workplace conditions. To shift this image, they will need to abandon decades of policies, rhetoricand ideology to demonstrate a genuine break from these perceptions and convince voters that they’ve truly changed. Two hurdles that could end up being mountains. Relying on voters’ grievances will only secure the Coalition a certain number of seats. It won’t get them to 70 plus seats.

@carnage526 @LouStagner Just got a new driver. 9° loft and hitting it 240-260 metres (265-285 yards). Only one full round played though. 47yo. My previous driver was at 10.5° and was hitting 240-260 yards. Gear and set up have a lot to do with it.

@LouStagner I'm 54 my swing speed is around 105 mph 155-160 mph ballspeed. 240 to 270 yds

How far do amateurs REALLY hit driver? Let's find out. 🧵👇 P.S. Post how far you hit your driver. Be honest! I want to run a mini-experiment with the answers.

@tagware @ErikLindy @askquantum Coal.

@ErikLindy @askquantum Australia - no nuclear.

Nuclear power is the scariest power source we have, because it’s incredibly powerful and mysterious. It’s also the safest, most reliable and most environmentally friendly electricity source we have that can power the grid. All the arguments against nuclear are based on fear, loathing and ignorance. Fortunately, the older generation who have fought against nuclear are fading away and a younger more pragmatic generation is taking over. The only way civilization can survive is with abundant sustainable energy, and nuclear is our best option. The future looks bright.
