Fastastic game but a terrifying prospect that likely both these teams are in the Matildas advancement pathway through the back end of the tournament. 🫣
A very tough pathway through the remainder of the tournament!
How on earth did you write and publish that before most fans are even out of the stadium!?
Your success with Temu Trump has made you the official AusPol nickname czar
🤣
Terrific game between China and Bangladesh at Women’s Asian Cup!!
Group B looks like 🔥🔥
(and love that China away strip)

Photo of an electronic scoreboard inside a stadium for Womens Asian Cup Australia 2026. The text on the scoreboard reads "Official match attendance: 2,874"
Listened to the pod on the way home from KOR v IRN on the Gold Coast where we had a nearly empty stadium - official attendance was only 2,874.
Absolutely agree with your discussion and frustration at the ticketing costs for this tournament.
Very solid contingent of supporters in the stand making a LOT of noise cheering them on!
I find myself slightly suprised to be recommending a video from the Norwegian Consumer Council, but it's bloody good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...
Unfortunately very difficult to find the alternatives in Bunnings!

What's it worth now?

I'm loving these preview pods from @thefarpostpod.bsky.social team to get ready for AFC Women's Asian Cup Football tournament.
Matildas play Philippines in opening game on Sunday.
The Matildas announce their 26-player squad for the 206 Women’s Asian Cup.
some big (and pleasant!) surprises in the #Matildas squad for the Women’s Asian Cup 👀
we’re recording a reaction pod later today @thefarpostpod.bsky.social - send us your thoughts and questions!!!!
Way too many. See latest from @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social

But it's called QUEENS-land...
Plus they're putting an aquatic centre on the site as well!
I hadn't seen that. Yes an inevitable realisation.
Initial renders showing a smallish building footprint popping above tree line was always a fantasy.
There will be far fewer trees (if any) in the final outcome than the initial renders released by Qld Government.

A few years ago we crossed some invisible line where it became cheaper to generate electricity from the sun and wind than from burning fossil fuels.

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
I don't think you have to be perfect to want everything to be better, but it does exasperate me a bit that, while many forms of climate action (wind farms, bike lanes, etc) need high-level coordination, others do depend on people not getting what they're used to having.
Ideally at the country level, not the individual level. But governments won't do it if individuals won't!
(I always see the high polling numbers for climate action and they're great, but how many people in favour of climate action still want to fly off regularly on holiday?)
The best thing to do about this is to reduce our dependence until we can say to the big fossil firms: "no thank you, we do not want or need what you are selling", and walk (or cycle, take an electric bus or drive an electric car) away.
These lines; give the speech writer a raise!
“We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.”
“Our view is the middle powers must act together because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

Must be hard - same thing happened in Australia late last year.

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo
