Is Ukraine the only one remembering and heeding Churchill's words:

"You ask, what is our aim?

I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country.

Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

Labor hasn’t delivered on more effective nature laws. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s calamitous | Tim Winton As Ningaloo reef bleaches and an election looms, we must look to those who stand in the way of our safety – the small cohort of people profiting from fossil fuels, and the politicians who protect them

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love.

This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests.

Is housing for wealth creation or strong communities?

If it’s the latter, we have to change our tax system.

I’ve put sensible reforms forward including grandfathering existing arrangements + an immigration & population plan that takes into account housing.

The Govt’s is again protecting industry instead of people.

Their scams legislation ignores experts & consumer groups want (a reimbursement model), instead choosing a complicated model that industry wants.

Ouch 🥲

Ah, with GWS, you won't have a problem either 😂 they play at home in the Olympic Park as well as Canberra. I hope that fan base continues to grow. As for rugby, there's a few. League is 13 players for a start, while Union is 15.

You won't have too much trouble getting tickets to an NRL game unless it's State of Origin. Where New South Wales play Queensland. They're really the only tickets that sell out. NRL is good to watch on TV, Sydney isn't as easy to travel around as Melbourne is, so the locals opt for watching on TV.

Here in Sydney, there's a bigger following for Rugby League than Aussie Rules. I don't mind it, but I'm a minority resident who prefers the AFL over NRL despite being born in Newcastle in the same area as Isaac Heeney of the Swans. Newcastle is basically Rugby League town.

Big Bash League game last weekend at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Sixers v Thunder. Thunder won it (close game), to make it to the final, which Hobart won. Congratulations to the Hurricanes 🌀👏🏻

Nice! I was going to ask you how you got on to Aussie Rules, although I am aware it's got a presence in the States and in Europe. Yeah, soccer is the game I play, too. Macarthur FC would be the local A-League team. I live 5 minutes from the stadium but need to start attending games again 😅
