@ThomasWillett9 If it's not a competition why do they have categories?

You can’t cheat if it’s not a competition.
Parkrun is a community event designed to get people more active.
The mania over a few trans people taking part in a fun run is reaching absurd heights, even for the anti-trans obsessives.
Jesus Christ, get a life.

Since it’s only a fun run, why are men so keen on cheating by entering the women’s category? It’s just a bit of fun.

@QuentinDempster @GetUp Union funded, and unions are funded by stolen taxpayer money that they launder for Labor.
This is publicly funded.
English
Crowd funded billboards on Australian highways organised by @GetUp justifiably question the bona fides of Trumpists Porleen and Beetrooter. GetUp donors can’t possibly match Gina’s $m’s or the Murdoch megaphones but in a democracy all voices have a right to be heard.

If you boo anyone at an ANZAC day service, you're not a patriot, you're not respecting the ANZACs - you're an entitled, unAustralian, cunt.
Complain before.
Complain after.
Boo during the service, you're scum.

In fact the implementation went smoothly & the carbon pricing system worked well. Employment & the economy kept growing, emissions fell and, as Gillard later commented in her memoir, “Not one of the horror scenarios sketched by the...Opposition came true”.

@ThomasWillett9 If it's merely a fun run, why are there categories, records and timings? There's a principle here. Biological males have no place in women's sport.

It’s a freaking fun run. My god. TERFs really need to get a life instead of spending every waking minute thinking of how they can make trans peoples lives worse.
English
@jacobdensley @hasumpstuffedup Yet, that's the rule.
It's pretty simple - if you'd have paid a mark, it's too far to run.
English
@hasumpstuffedup He's 6-7m inside 50 and 6-7m short of the goal square. He ran about two steps too far. Apparently players have to bounce it every 15m but it has always been policed at around 25m. It would look ridiculous if anybody actually bounced it every 15m.
English
This is just about the worst bit of umpiring for the whole year.
He's marked it only just inside 50 and nearly ran to the goalsquare. That is CLEARLY too far.
Ump is looking right at it, with an unobstructed view.
Inexcusable that this wasn't paid

Um ok, so kick the ball 25 metres "Not 15!" but run 30 metres? No problems 🤔#AFLDogsSwans
English
@Jkloling21 @hasumpstuffedup Surely umpires know an average player on the run steps about 1.5m per stride.
English
@hasumpstuffedup Lol this is ridiculous. The umps always use steps as a key indicator and he took a little over 15..free kick yes, worst umpiring you've seen? Nah
English
@mandaout12 @hasumpstuffedup Yeah. He clearly ran at least 20m.
English
@hasumpstuffedup I'll make it easier for you, alocoholic
Where he marks it and where he kicks it..
English
@hasumpstuffedup @AFLFrontOffice 10 metres inside 50 (roughly looking at it live), 10 metres outside the goal square (again, on first look live). That leaves about 20 metres of running, over 15 allowed. Too far, but hardly the worst all year.
English
@AFLFrontOffice Yes, I am usually forgiving on distance calls, but this was well beyond acceptable. The 50m arc and goalsquare are there as an extra guide
English
@hasumpstuffedup He marked it 10 metres inside 50. Kicked it 10 metres outside the goal square. Square is 9 metre.
That leaves 21 metres of running. Too far, but a long way short of the worst decision all year.

@QuentinDempster @australian You want them to back the empty indie??? You idiot

“The Liberals and Nationals will in return preference One Nation” in the May 9 Farrer by-election. There it is folks. Our Coalition (party of government) does a devil’s deal with Porleen and the Beetrooter. (Vale Ron Boswell). Lachlan Leeming @australian

@Q2Quokka The government keeps buying short term support with sugar hit handout policies, then the trend resumes.
English
@fahad_s_ali Wait. You think people making individualised, bespoke demands for support will be more efficient?
English
The inefficiencies in the NDIS have almost nothing to do with the number of people with disabilities or their individual needs and almost everything to do with (a) how we structure our society, and (b) how people with disabilities aren't granted choice and autonomy over supports.
English
Now on immigration: Yes, increasing the number of people who need housing (increasing demand) puts upward pressure on prices.
However, in a free market whoever is supplying homes (developers) will have an incentive to build more. This puts downward pressure on prices. 1/

@Emilie_Dye The entire attempted move demonstrates that it's all about the money for these claims of culture.
English
That awkward moment when you tell the world's oldest continuous culture that they aren't allowed a home in your neighbourhood because it is too "historic".
Sydney YIMBY@SydneyYIMBY
Aboriginal Land Council proposes to build 8 storey buildings on their land in Haberfield. Local NIMBYs counter that it can’t be done because Haberfield is a “historic” area (where historic means it was built 100 years ago). You can’t make this stuff up!

@larissawaters You have no fucking clue what Australians think about anything
English
Australians are sick of the government working for the 1% - including the greedy gas corporations who don’t pay their fair share.
A 25% gas export tax could raise $17 billion a year to fund cost of living relief - that’s what we need to see in Labor’s Budget, not NDIS cuts.

@TheIPA It's a product of politicians leveraging the politics of envy and entitlement.

“Elites didn’t see it coming.”
And they still don’t.
Populism isn’t random — it’s a response.
On the latest episode of The Mainstream podcast, Daniel Wild and John Roskam discuss that populist movements are rising because large parts of the public feel ignored, while elites and the media continue to misunderstand or dismiss their concerns.
