I’ve referred Bev McArthur to IBAC. What began as scrutiny of her taxpayer-funded travel led to further information, and questions her parliamentary travel report didn’t answer. This thread explains what emerged and why I made the referral. 🧵 1/12

Brisbane had six academy/father son picks today plus some free agents from bottom clubs, so heartwarming. Well done @afl, please lecture us again about rebuilding.

I’m leaving Australia today after being here and New Zealand for two weeks. I don’t want to be hyperbolic but it changed my life. I’ll be coming back here annually for the rest of my life. It’s the home away from home I never knew I had. My latest column: thesportingtribune.com/2026/…

The Welcome to Country was not just performed by Joy Murphy Waldin, an Elder of the Kulin Nation, but the “Wominjeka to Naarm” was wildly cheered as well. We will make your beloved sport woke as hell. Cope with it, you racist bastards with a senile pedophile for a president.
Australia’s first ever NFL game began with a land acknowledgment. This is insane. Australia also has a national sorry day where the country apologizes to the aborigines every year. If you think the US can’t get crazier, it can.

To honour him, club will announce a new annual award: the Serpell, for most consecutive games played. The inaugural winner, hereby known as the indestructible: Ben Miller, who improbably has missed no games during Serpell’s tenure.

I wrote about Richmond's rebuild, supporter expectations, and how it feels to be unsure if the direction you're headed is the right one or not. onepercenters.net.au/p/kicki…

Paris proves bold leadership transforms cities. 🌍 From suffocating smog (2007) to clean, green & livable streets (2023): 🚴‍♀️ 100s of km of bike lanes 🌳 Tens of thousands of trees 🚗 Car-free zones & 30 km/h limits Millions now breathe clean air. When will we dare to follow? 💪

In abandoning all emissions targets for 2030, the Liberal Party has made uncertainty and business disruption their trademark. For business certainty we need more action on climate, not less.

Those who doubt the CSIRO’s energy modelling which proves nuclear costs twice as much no doubt use WiFi daily, protect themselves with aeroguard, and use plastic banknotes. All invented & pioneered by the CSIRO. The politicians & sceptics just need to say ‘thank you’ & move on.
