"Former coach Tom Sermanni says "it wasn't his greatest look". But for its part in helping the Matildas to 2010 Asian Cup glory, it may well be the most consequential makeover in Australian football history."

A post by that dickhead Robert Peston reads The final report of the Water Commission includes this calculation: "We estimate that over £85 billion has been extracted from the English water system by shareholders and affiliated parties since privatisation." Given the parlous, creaking, under-invested condition of Britain's water industry, this was egregious pillaging by shareholders that was licensed by successive governments and the regulator. As the report says, company executives and boards, regulators, ministers, all were to blame. It summarises: "this £85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners — a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined.".
From what I’ve been told by several human briefcases, it’s not economically viable to nationalise the water industry
Minister Bowen has been telling the parliament that everything is OK - nothing to worry about - when it comes to national fuel supplies in the wake of the Middle-East conflict. Let’s find out what the department has been telling the minister. #FOI #auspol

Whilst it was Labor that killed its own #FOI Amendment Bill, it was an action forced by a team of non-government organisations working closely together with non-government senators. Here's the inside story on how the secrecy retreat was forced. #auspol
Overwhelmingly excellent precise, crisp passes at that.
(That's my impression from the 10 network live stream)
Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

There are concerns for the safety of Iran's female footballers after they were condemned on Iranian state TV as wartime traitors for not singing the national anthem before their first game.

My current enemies are not in Iran, they’re in the Epstein Files.
I haven’t forgotten the Epstein Files and the reality the current usurper in the White House raped children and laundered money, resulting in being blackmailed by multiple foreign governments to do their bidding.
I hope you don’t forget it, either.
