Don't know much about it. Was weird though. I'd never seen them before. What I did hear though was they're terrible tourists. They don't have much of a reputation there. Much like Australians in Bali.

What 'capabilities' did they need though? In base terms, they loaded trucks up with drones, drove them there and let them loose. Ukraine has probably developed and evolved drone warfare miles in front of anyone else in a conflict today.

Massive traffic jams in Russia at he moment because every truck has to be inspected.

So they should have done nothing? I understand you shouldn't poke the bear but what's Ukraine to do? Sit there and just keep getting bombed or go on the front foot and try and take the initiative and force the issue. Also you say MI6 is involved. Why? What makes this something the MI6 would...

There's literally video.

And this $1billion stadium is only to have a capacity of 23 000. FMD. A billion for THAT?!! No wonder people have the shits with it.

Which goes to show how hard it is to do any serious budget restraint. Facts are, as unpopular as it is, taxes probably need to go up IF we want to keep, and improve, all of our services. (Or increase royalties on resources a fair bit.) Keeping in mind we spend less than half on aged care than...

This is interesting.

By goons that refuse to identify themselves, aren't in uniform and sometimes masked?

Well they already are. Dragged off the street by goons that refuse to identify themselves, aren't in uniform and sometimes masked. It's literally like 1930s Nazi Germany.

So cool. I went up there in 1998 but clagged out before I reached the top. Probably only got halfway. Just by the by the 10% figure bandied about at the moment, for CO2 emissions, equates to this volcano eruption being 10% of the volcanic eruptions this year. The CO2 emitted is still 100 times...

And by the by, Tasmanian stadium estimate has climbed to $945 million, up from $700m and they haven't put a shovel in the ground yet. Premier to undergo a no-confidence motion today which will impact this.

Project 2025. Not even joking.

Lived in South East Queensland for 12 years. Brother lived there. Have relatives there. Maybe they'd support their own team. They're not turning up to watch MacArthur play CCM in a 'unite' round spread over 400km. (Assuming GC to Bundaberg as someone suggested.)

3 blokes and a dog would turn up if it were held in SE QLD. Gold coast is wasteland for football, the sunny coast not much better and people don't even go the roar. Why are they going to watch teams that they don't even care about? They're hardly going to get more people than they would in...

^^^^ By all means go to that thread to see that bloke get dismantled. As a bonus, is seemingly proud of being wilfully ignorant. Baffling.
