Great first half so far .... please keep this up lads
#NRLEelsSouths #GoRabbitohs
Souths should be much further ahead. Have to make good all the opportunities you get against a usually very good Eels team. Complacency the biggest problem we always

#NRLEelsSouths #GoRabbitohs
Excellent win - less the margin than Souths defending well and not conceding any points

Re @roycommDVSRC: I wrote this short piece last year & at the end I raised the issue of our bewilderingly complex veterans' legislation. The @DVAAus tries hard & even the best public servants would struggle to administer such byzantine laws. Parliament needs to reform these laws.
This is thoroughly unsurprising given the toll of the last 20 years and public servants trying to administer a very complex/ridiculously complex set of laws.

Well said by @JacquiLambie here but all this has to translate into legislation. The actual laws that @DVAAus have to administer are absurdly complex & built for another time. Parliament has to do its actual job of repealing, amending, and enacting, laws.

This is the last thing you see before your political career ends in catastrophic disaster
What you see in political purgatory … the sins of commission and omission … the people you let down … even Balmain supporters are included here … notwithstanding their notorious cheating in the 1969 grand final
Only way for Dom Perrottet to recover from this disaster is to bring in legislation for rugby league in NSW to:
- reinstate cotton jerseys with 3/4 sleeves
- leather Steeden balls
- North Sydney Bears must play in the NRL at Bear Park
- mid-week League
- Commonwealth Bank Cup

Small thread on the proposed constitutional amendment for "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice". A constitutional amendment, once made, takes on a life of its own (esp in the High Court), so nothing about it is simple per se & it can only be altered by another amendment
In terms of 1: it entrenches "The Voice" in the Constitution similar to the Parliament and the High Court. However, at the same time, ss101-103 still now provides for an Inter-State Commission in similar terms, and the ISC has been defunct for most of the Australian Federation
In terms of 2: entrenches in the Constitution that the Voice makes "representations to parliament" on "matters relating" to ATSI people ... this needs some clarity as on one view, it is a lobbying body & a [taxpayers] money pit for the Canberra NGO people, not ATSI peoples.

Am not a regular Latin Mass goer but I have never understood the Boomer hierarchy's hostility to the traditional rite that has been the Mass of the universal Church for centuries.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
Please note that I have no strong views on Liturgy - I have a pluralist view of Catholic Rites for a literally universal Church ... Also, as the joke goes, what is the difference between a Liturgist and a Terrorist? You can negotiate with a Terrorist.
There are so many Rites of the Catholic Church that I simply cannot understand why anyone would think that the Mass could, in a literally universal church, be made blandly uniform based on what a Church council in the 1960s(!) did or did not say

Kudos to @billshortenmp who is clearly much more sound & sensible on basic biology than the dripping wet Simon Birminghams and Andrew Braggs.

Well done to @salltweets for bringing this “birthing parent” nonsense to public attention. Image
“Based Bill Shorten” … you are hearing it more and more …
Remember, it is only a ‘culture war’ when you notice this insidious bureaucratic attempt to replace “mother” with “birthing parent” - whereas the actual attempt to replace/erase actual mothers is, apparently, not a culture war but instead OK …

When did “Indigenous” become “First Nations”? Had always understood the latter to be a Canadian usage.
This is as good an explanation as I can find for “First Nations” - apparently “indigenous” is now considered “too generic” … at the same time, only ever heard of Canadians using “First Nations”, which here would suggest a derivative/copied usage

The Celts and Gaels generally have a not dissimilar issue with Clans and Septs vs the Scots and the Irish as “nations” when in fact there was migrations and intermarriage as anyone who has DNA blooms spanning either sides of the Irish Sea knows
