@AvidCommentator It’s interesting also because with the nationals at 0.5% of the primary, no one can argue that’s where they’re from

A very happy South Australian state election day to all who celebrate. I've got a lovely roast lamb ready to go for dinner tonight and a fridge full of cold drinks. Lets see if the pollsters were right and how One Nation's polled vote translates on election night.

@AvidCommentator It seems like it’s all just nonsense while they tie up their futures and try to muddy the waters on any corruption watchdog post election. This guy would win, a turnip in the mouth might help the libs, too

@AvidCommentator Later called police when he caught his neighbour trying to pinch some

@NatedawgO7 Could fix the whole process, rather than simply let mining corporations rape our resources for next to nothing. Rather than cherry pick it one at a time in the most inefficient way

Good about fucking time.

@GeorgeDobell1 Does this not feel insulting to the English cricket public, yet?

@CFC_Vlad @TMFScottP So you’ve just never read a word here before?

@TMFScottP Yet all these bailouts combined don't come close to the NDIS budget So you upset we give companies bailouts that give Aussies jobs but silent on a 50b fraud scheme which does nothing but defrauds Aussie tax payers

Qantas (under the last lot). Poorly designed JobKeeper (ditto) Whyalla. Mt. Isa. Rex. Port Pirie and Hobart smelters Tomago (on the way). *Billions* of *your* dollars given to private companies for zero equity. And they wonder why we have a productivity problem.

@george_sell Yep, they can’t conceptualise the idea of what’s next

The lack of support from other animal sports for greyhound racing is shortsighted. We have a rehoming rate of >90% and a governing body which pays towards vet bills (as do most tracks) and rehoming costs. Greyhound racing is being damned for its past, not judged on its present.

@AvidCommentator Imagine having to create another bullshit reason for bullshit policy and actions

I am aware of the theory that Trump is attempting to take Iranian oil off the table for China. But realistically is it worth alienating most of the developed world with a totally avoidable energy and economic crisis, followed by a famine in places if the war continues long term

@MarkoMatvikov I think it’s almost the Trump effect ‘say anything anytime, doesn’t need to be true or even plausible, just needs to be you talking’

@apopheniaracing Lol I thought it was satire at first

Such a uniquely Victorian headline.

@frogsontoast @nortssss @Chrissy_Gent @TMFScottP New plates might not work so well

@nortssss @Chrissy_Gent @TMFScottP Done it before on odds & even number plates so cannot see why not again #justsaying

Marty Bella is now officially my new favourite ex-footballer

@AvidCommentator That’s fine, but honestly the average person now is so self absorbed that it’d be chaos, the tinfoil hats will moan and bitch anyway, impose the max buy, no Jerry cans. Adults calling shots

I'm so tired of this rhetoric. Albo would have been told at length about the lags inherent in the system and when missed shipments will start showing up. We should have had advice to voluntarily limit fuel usage 10 days ago or more.

@AvidCommentator There’s almost no reason to believe any side in this war though, is there a possibility that they are both lying?

Despite media reports that the Israeli strike on Iranian energy infrastructure was authorised by the United States, Trump claims the U.S knew nothing. What a mess....

@AvidCommentator Pity the fuel isn’t also a penny a pound?

@ProjVictoria @TMFScottP But they haven’t focused on any of those other things either, they’ve bought votes and made those things worse

Bloody hell... here we go again. More corporate welfare on the taxpayers' dime. Fuel will cost more, as a result. No, not at the pump, but the pump price *plus* the portion of your taxes that prop these places up.

@AvidCommentator Or he’s building a new golf course

So far the war has cost less than 15% of that. Trump is seemingly gearing up for a long war.

@AvidCommentator @VandanaHari_SG Got my penny ready for him

@VandanaHari_SG Trump's rhetoric commands the change in perspective on reality. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/1…

Washington now appears to be pushing hard on the narrative that “the Strait of Hormuz is open for business”, citing the handful of ships that are making it through. One swallow does not a summer make!

@TMFScottP @RizviAbul @ak_pennington I’m sure there are poor outcomes that aren’t mutually exclusive.

@RizviAbul @apopheniaracing @ak_pennington All true. Are you suggesting 4% inflation (and falling real wages) is a worthwhile trade-off, though?

The RBA Governor has said multiple times in her press conference "We only have one tool". She's dead right. Whether or not it was a subtle message to the government, the rest of us should say it loudly: The RBA's actions are a direct result of inaction by the government.

@RizviAbul @TMFScottP @ak_pennington Median income compared to median home? Quick search was around 1:6 rather than the 1:10 here. Not to deliberately be a pest, but we aren’t talking spherical chickens in a vacuum. Is govt pushing 95% borrowings?

@TMFScottP @apopheniaracing @ak_pennington Canada has reduced inflation to 1.8% with unemployment rate around 7%. Net migration has fallen to zero (may become negative). Combined with a high rate of housing completions, house prices have fallen by 20%. New mortgagees would now have negative equity.

@BARGH3ST @JoshHoltTEN @dailytelegraph What chance he’s tied up in the redevelopment group?

@BARGH3ST @JoshHoltTEN @dailytelegraph So was an exec at Star in the time they were deemed unfit and lost billions. 🤣🤣🤣

“Cylinder” is apparently trying to win the 2 year old Golden Slipper on Saturday. The problem is Cylinder is a 6 year old, who is retired at stud. I hope this was an AI stuff up rather than the alternative. 🤷‍♂️ Regardless, not great from the @dailytelegraph
