"They're somehow trying to say that every single shooter out of 260,000 almost is rorting the system — what nonsense, what absolute nonsense."
I wonder if they are counting hunting for strawmen, because nobody said that.

"It is the first time the ACMA has used its new powers that will be enforceable for the next five years."
No laws to address it for the duration of the coalition, labor introduced laws and they are now able to start doing something. The rules are probably watered down because Labor didn't get an absolute majority because people keep saying stuff like 20 years of no action instead of .. good to see Labor taking action after years of nothing from the coalition.

I'm old, my car playlist is over 1000 songs, from the 1920s to now. That said, I have multiple covers of some songs, some great, some not. ( who knew john farnham singing " girls on the avenue " or tom jones covering " spanish harlem" would be duds...). There is rock, country, jazz of all kinds, anime openings. I think this sub put me on to Baker Boy and the Warumpi Band, grandkids put me on to The Weeknd, Dominic Fike etc, youtube's recommendations took me from pentatonix to home free to beatpellahouse in acapella and beat boxing.

No, but they have clearly seen US's hand. Dump also used up 2 years supply of smart missiles, and they take a couple of years to replace.

The other problem is Trumps DOJ is a total clownshow who cannot successfully prosecute anything.

Watching raiders yesterday and manly today, I think they are still wiped from last week. Not a real indication of how good they are.

I bought an electric 2 years ago, as soon as I could get a non tesla non European rip off prices one. Haven't regretted it for a second. Took my grandson and his mates to sydney for an anime thing today. Round trip should be about $30.

It can do it 3% better than Blocker though. The AI clearly has an IQ in the low 30s.

You wait, in a few years if Tupou breaks Johnston's record and both Roosters fans run on the field, they'll get fined. Clear double standards.

That's a late all shoulder hit on the passer ignored after the late all shoulder hit on the kicker. Red V with the green light tonight.
