🤔 the end of year polls are always interesting ones. #politas #auspol

Keating on Gough Whitlam

This was the game that kick-started the rise of Australian Football again. 🦘🇦🇺⚽️ Everything about this match is so iconic. The kits. The names. The boots. The old school football stadium (Upton Park). A lot of people born in the 90's were so highly impacted by this result. The Golden Generation was here.

*Mervin not Marvin autocorrect fail for a Monday morning. Apologies Merv. Credit where credit is due and all that. #politas #auspol

The fact that increased borrowing costs are noted by treasury make the future increased borrowing costs a certainty.Coupled with no genuine measures by @TasLiberal or the wider parli to address govt finances or act fiscal responsibly makes fed invention necessary #politas #auspol

A long held concern of mine highlighted in @themercurycomau. Marvin Reed points out in his opinion piece it's not just $419 million debt servicing in 27/28 it's whats next when Moody's & Standard & Poor's lifts borrowing costs by dropping their ratings for Tassie #politas #auspol

especially as a diesel replacement within the heavy vehicle industries. Large scale hydrogen continues to face challenges with tech needing to stack up. Certainly a very interesting part of the clean energy evolution to follow in the short, medium and long term. #politas #auspol

This after Origin exiting the Hunter Hydrogen Hub plus Fortescue who readjusted their strategy earlier in the year. As someone who has seen the benefits of Hydrogen on both my trips to China in 2024 I still see many tangible positive benefits in the short term #politas #auspol 👇

Interesting report in the business pages of the Weekend Aust newspaper today as Woodside Energy confirms their scale back off planned investment into Green Hydrogen. Impacting Tas, NZ whilst confirming they plan to press ahead in the US and Perth, WA. #politas #auspol 👇

@CPFC_Tampa PS great thread 🧵

@CPFC_Tampa Why is Doucoure and either Lerma + Wharton not perfect for the future? Agree re Eddie he needs to play as a striker or not at all - he will deliver the goals if he is left in that role up top. Must admit id rather the manager evolve the play a back 5 or 4 depending on opposition

As always, the goal here is to look at things objectively & without emotion. There’s no denying Crystal Palace have had a rough start. However, rather than simply blaming it on one player or saying “we aren’t good enough,” let’s look into why things aren’t working 🤔 #CPFC

Ten months later. There has been a class action settled for over $70 million. There have been over 90 state servants suspended for being alleged Paedophiles - And not one has been charged or fired. #politas #auspol

We are deeply saddened by the news of Dikembe Mutombo’s passing. Dikembe was a proud and honorable man, who lived up to the definition of a word that became synonymous with his name – humanitarian. He used his many gifts and his platform to improve the lives of everyone he encountered, especially in his homeland of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and throughout Africa. His passion for the game, its growth and the joy he brought to defense – including his undeniable presence and iconic ‘finger wag’ – made him a star on the court and with the fans around the globe. I was fortunate to have been able to call him a friend. My family and I were beyond proud to have him represent the Hawks organization on and off the court. With his jersey in the rafters, his life and legacy will always be remembered in Atlanta. On behalf of the entire Hawks organization, our thoughts, prayers and support are with Rose and their family at this difficult time. - On behalf of Principal Owner Tony Ressler

Rio Ferdinand is now so embarrassed by Man United he is denying ever playing for them

Calafiori is a big reason that left hand side looks more functional. Martinelli didn't magically return to form, he simply had a better structure than before. Wait till Merino also comes in, it'll be even better. We are cooking on low heat at the moment.

@Bartlett_DJ @NBAonTNT @NBAOfficial @nyknicks 🤔🤔🤣🤣

@markbacon95 @NBAonTNT @NBAOfficial @nyknicks NBa Championship is over. Get the Knicks rings made now.

Dam Big @NBAonTNT @NBAOfficial trade. I get the feeling fan boy for the @nyknicks @Bartlett_DJ will be like a kid at Christmas post this move. And the broader Nickerbocker fan base will be unbearable if they start the season strong.

We need to urgently increase affordable housing supply. And immediately pass the bills in the Senate.

I think this is the part about the Zach Lowe decision that set me off -- it's the treating NBA viewers like they're dumber than shit. The same network makes a pretty sincere effort to have intelligent NFL shows (watch anything with Mina Kimes and Ryan Clark for instance), and has/had the in-house talent to do the same for NBA ... but they don't really try and shove SAS down our throats instead.

Assume this is a light effect? Have to say I don't mind the look. Can anyone with more of a fashion idea than me let me know if orange goes well with purple? It's does for my @PHNX_Suns #Trump #USAElections
