Lack of cameras and angles in a major women's tournament is very AFC

#WAC2026

thinking about the players and staff of Iran’s women’s national team who woke up in Australia today to the news that their homeland had been bombed. how anyone can focus on sport in the midst of these horrors is beyond me. they play their first game tomorrow.

That fucking FB group asking its "expert" members about the status of Iran women's team in the Cup, despite acknowledging there will be an official press conference this morning.

Just wait for the official word instead of stirring up useless speculation.

Oh I've had that sour in a can but never on tap!

Screen shot: Little surprise then that the Parliamentary Budget Office has found that 59% of the benefit of the CGT discount goes to the richest 1% (or those earning more than $362,900): with chart showing the richest 10% get $17.7bn from the CGT discount while the rest get $4bn.

The CGT 50% discount not only distorts the housing market it is also the most inequitable policy you could dream up. (Which is probably why John Howard and Peter Costello did it)

Excuse me while I vomit at this ridiculous rhetoric.

Major parties vote down LGBTIQ amendments Attempts from David Pocock, Jacqui Lambie, Tammy Tyrrell and Fatima Payman to have the laws at least extend protections to marginalised groups, including the LGTBIQ communities have been voted down by Labor and the Liberals. This was their amendment: (1) Schedule 1, item 10, page 8 (line 12), omit “distinguished by race, or national or ethnic origin”, substitute “distinguished by race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, disability, nationality, or national or ethnic origin, or because of the target person or target group’s personal association (whether as a relative or otherwise) with a person who is distinguished by any of those attributes”.

Good to have a final reminder that these laws are only about preventing people criticism Israel for committing genocide and have nothing really to do with hate (other than ensuring Zionists can continue to practice it)

Making the speed skating teams walk out with those huge blades like they all have severe thigh chaffing is a choice.

Welp that was last season wrapped up into one game.

Wtf is Teo's comment about Smith's demeanour not showing if his team is winning or losing? You shouldn't just make stuff up in commentary.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

The curse is broken!

Yeah the telly angle is quite flat so it Morrison had no chance to defend then fair enough.

DOGSO red probably a bit hard unless Morrison (who I assume was the other Victory defender I saw) was further away than what it looked on the telly.

Australia declines to join statement criticising Israel for Unrwa demolition The Albanese government has declined to sign up to an international statement expressing concern about Israel demolishing an aid agency’s headquarters. The foreign ministers of 11 nations, including the UK, Canada and France, strongly condemned Israel for demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) in a joint statement issued on 28 January. It called on Israel “to fully abide by its obligations to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in accordance with international law”, saying current aid levels were inadequate. Canberra was invited to join the most recent declaration, but declined the offer without an explanation, one diplomatic source told AAP.

The @albomp.bsky.social is defined by cowardice in the face of evil.

A govt complicit in the worst abuses.

It supports Israel’s genocide and funds the US military.

Perth man charged with ‘intent to harm’ after alleged homemade bomb thrown at Invasion Day rally Noongar elder Herbert Bropho was addressing the crowd at the ‘terrifying’ moment alleged device landed on stage

So let me get this straight.... this cunt isn't up for terrorist charges or attempted murder?

Anyone calling for a royal commission?

No thumping of lecturns?

No moral panic?

Fuck all the way off

Crumbling infrastructure and public service failures are always an opportunity to stir discontent.

Oh I'm sure!

For those liking Heated Rivalry, you should just look up slash fanfiction of your fav fictional tv/movie/book etc if you want more of that ilk.

Boooooo for late game postponements, now what am I going to do in Sydney for a day?

Naturally!

Let me know if you make it!

I'll be in Sydney to watch the Roar play Sydney next round. Not sure if I feel happy or worried about Sydney getting done 7-0 today.

Guardian article titled "My petty gripes: why do we have to review everything now?"

I have so many petty gripes. Where is my column?

They ran out of room for the fine print:

"LET THEM BE KIDS [exclusions may apply:
- News Corp punching down on trans kids
- State govts locking up more & younger black kids
- the Albanese govt refusing to ban gambling ads or take real climate action, and keeping 1 in 6 kids living in poverty...]"

There has been a lot of wrestling and players ending up on their arses during this game.
