Jake Weatherald should open, Marnus Labuschagne at 3 and one of Webster/Green at 6 depending on fitness/bowling capabilities. I'll die on this hill! https://t.co/9zm6PabSvg

Bring back the safari suit let's gooo
The Australian parliament really lacks drip on the attire. The guys' "suits" are at best mundane and at worst complete nonsense. The girls can't come up with anything more creative than an oversized blazer that matches the colour of their pants. Someone do something interesting.

The Nationals want an emissions reduction target equal to the average of the emissions cut across OECD countries. Purely on the maths of that: if all OECD countries adopted the same target, it would mean an emissions cut target of 0%

First X post- rant. Over rates in test cricket. “Test” cricket is just that- a test. Find a way to play the game within the laws. 90 overs in a day is part of the laws of the game. Match referees need to be much more ruthless re this. As do umpires. 1/2

This brought a tear to my eye and I specifically hate the Melbourne Storm. Should have been an immortal, honestly a tragedy,
Ryan Papenhuyzen has been granted an immediate release from the final year of his Melbourne Storm contract to consider his future. Papenhuyzen met with Storm owner Matt Tripp this week, where it was agreed he would depart despite having a 2026 option. He’d sparked speculation

I've lived in Brisbane for 30 years and I reckon this is the first time I've ever seen driving given a lower priority than public transport

God I need to go to sleep I just started crying over a tiktok of a man of south Asian decent who got his Australian citizenship last week. And he’s so excited to go to his first cricket game as an Aussie.

Very amusing stuff
Holy. 10/30 of the top 30 are either a half or a hooker. A couple of injuries to the outside backs or front row and this team might finish lower than they did in 2024
