I demand proof of that statement!

I really think that which ever mob forms the Government, the person that Party puts in the position of Leader should not have to carry the ball for evry MInister in the Government. Those Ministers were chosen to attned to the operations of a particular area of government. I think that they should be the ones fronting the media. The captain of a sporting team isn't the one who is expected to score all the points for the team. The Prime Minister's role should be more about the international diplomatic side of Federal politics.

I don't follow AFL, but my Dad was born in Carlton Vic, so if anyone asks me which AFL team I follow, I say, 'Carlton'. I couldn't name one player in the current lineup.

Bugger! I meant to write 'risen to the heights'. Missing the 'to' completely changes the message.

Well, this discussion has risen the heights of the bottom of the gutter.

Conservative Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has followed his imprisoned father’s lead by refusing to concede defeat to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won a historic fourth term in the presidential ‌election. US President Donald Trump suggested on Monday (local time), without providing evidence, that Brazil’s election was “rigged.” “It looked like another rigged election, frankly,” he said. Other world leaders quickly rallied behind Lula’s victory, with congratulations pouring in from the EU, Mexico, France, Canada, India and Russia.

For some reason, South Sydney is the preferred team here.

Another Bangladeshi IT worker put out of work!

Over here, driving into potholes is classed as one of the joys of motoring.

Gilgandra doesn't have a Rugby team, but for some reason Gulargambone, up the road does have a lub and theGil boys play there. I agree that it is the Boarders who are the main players, but the local boys still do well. What is interesting is that the Aboriginal boys are not made welcome. That's why they play League.

In most of Australia people drive on the left. In Victoria they drive on what's left.

The naming difference between the two forms of football came from what might be classed as social class sources. The Rugby Football Union was established in London in 1871, uniting 21 clubs and officially standardizing the laws of the sport. So it was a joining together of a group of clubs, no doubt to enable a competition to be run. In 1895, the sport split into two separate codes—rugby union and rugby league—over a dispute regarding "broken-time payments" (compensating working-class players for missing work to play). There's your social class factor. Very much a similar thing happened with cricket, with the non-paid players called The Gentlemen, and the professionals.

I must say that I don't find Bush Barbie's style of comedy comes anywhere near the standard our earlier comics (non-gender term used deliberately). From the videos I've seen of her, she uses her physical appearance to attract ateention, which it sure does. However, having grown up enjoying the witty use of language and irony, both in the English and Australian styles, I think she just doesn't come up to standard.

Get ready for an interesting fortnight for Trump. His best mate in the Middle East could be out on his ear. We'll know prety well by Wednesday. Serbians also look like ditching their authoriterian leader. We'll know if the Ynaks have come to their senses by 4th November.
