A Pioneer of the Women’s Football Speaks

I find it interesting to hear Judy Doland complaining about loosing her title as the Matildas Women’s team first captain.


I don’t her her feeling sorry for the Australian Reps prior to her.


I was one of those pioneer football lady footballer that doesn’t receive any recognition because there wasn’t a ladies association,so we played under the JuniorAssociation.


I played for Brisbane and later Queensland but apparently I didn’t on the record, and there were Australian Teams picked back then but apparently their wasn’t.


Do the players of today realise if us pioneers hadn’t done the hard yards they would not be where they are today.


For the record I played for Annerley, and Newmarket Postal.

PS.. The name Matilda’s is in fact “The Commonwealth Bank Matilda’s” a commercial Identity today, that has hijacked the actual title of The Australian National Women’s Soccer Team, and thats when the history starts.

My Ears Are Bleeding from Australian Football.

It’s not like it hadn’t happened before yet here we go again with the excuses and endless analysis’s from the same people who say exactly the same thoughts and we are that dumb to accept it..


Before you go into LA LA mode this Asian Cup debacle has no reflection on the men who pulled on the That Guernsey with green and gold, but it does reflect the state of the game for the last 20 years run by the overpaid and underperforming Australian management performance and like the good old Australian way we swallowed the media spin by the non performers themselves.


If you accept not winning a World Cup as acceptable don’t compete.
If you accept the results from the team as that’s about as best we can do, hand in your employment ID. Your doing you national a disservice..


Patronising the players in the media does not exonerate the management failure.


Quite frankly, I’m sick of this colonial attitude we have forced upon Australian football since my time starting in the 60’s
This close nit group of talking heads we have to have been covering each others arses since they handed out coaching qualifications like tram tickets to their pommy mates and made Australian coaches go off to their courses at a price… FACT


Pick up a paper, or tablet and it just a replay from the same people making a buck from the game and any change the money stops.


Unlike Europe or South America the nations with STARS ON THEIR NATIONAL SHIRT WE ACCEPT NON PERFORMANCE OF COACHES period, and if someone comes out the attack’s performance of the protected they come racing to their side as they are doing right now.


For those who are still indoctrinated in thinking the English Premier league is the benchmark, well stop press, it about 3rd and tell me again Bobby More was the last winner and they destroyed him.


We need a hard clinical approach by professionals from nations that have won, and won again, World Cups, and when the hammer falls they must be listened to and acted upon , without prejudice, and we need to reshape Australian Football to World Standards, and that must be supported much better than what they did to Eddie Jones when he was given the task of rebuilding Rugby


We must accept 3 World Cups time (12 Years)to put us in the top 10.. with the right people at the helm…
Accepting mediocre performance and hope has no place in professional football. We are not NRL or AFL where they play in their own little bubble and fed by their owners into believing they are bigger than a fly shit on the worlds stage..


Our code is much bigger, our support is much larger home and away, our standards of performance expectations are beyond their IQ , yet we cow tow in playing in the summer months to keep the yank owned Fox coffers full..


We need hard hitting critics to start a conversation at the grass roots level to change the landscape and we will not get the support of the media who are part of the mafia that props up the old boys club.


Forget looking to the English for direction, they have sold their soul to the money launderers, we must look for models like Germany, who keep clubs in the hands of the supporters (bar one) , and tv rights go to them the clubs not the franchises, and have a clinical approach to perfection built in to their football culture where second best is not good enough, ever..


Laugh you may Australians but how many stars on their shirts ???


How many European Cups? And you do the research on the rest

In closing I’m totally frustrated by seeing our youth totally ignored.


We have talent, we have class, recognised overseas but we have a system and stupid ideology you have to sit some of a qualifying apprenticeship set by the obviously incompetent present managment to get to the ball boy status keeping the over thirties on the pay sheet.


It’s time to let in the dogs and clean out the rats in our magnificent game in this country, starting admin, media, at the highest levels, our kids deserve the same as what other kids get in Europe and other top 10 nations..


Talking Heads Struggle with Own Credibility

It didn’t take long for the grubs in the media and squawking talking heads to get a knife into our Matilda’s over a friendly.

So let’s look at the landscape here in laymans terms so their will be no mistake on how these bozo’s “The Commentary Gentry” have got their shirt without performance.

Unlike the Matilda’s Babes who are our future and should be celebrated by achieving national representatives regardless of any friendly result 4 years out of the big gig our Media Mongrels decide to gain their shirt by seizing the opportunity to knife the coach or reputations of these kids so early in their careers.

Let’s look at the critics form. who is Slater, those stooges who set themselves up as authorities on Football in Australia??

What have they achieved, played in England maybe, sniffed a bit of coke , and I could go on with the misdemeanours as I am old enough to remember, but one thing is certain, they are failures on the international stage, every single one of them as we have No Stars On Our National Shirt.. None Zero.
Yet they celebrate themselves with “the older I get the better I was” mantra

Then comes the audacity they promote by hating any international appointee that could expose any comparison of our Football business to nations who have won World Cups as whats left of their credentials would be trashed once people woke up.

Hiddick to his credit lifted the Socceroos on a temporary platform then bolted the day after his contract expired, then the rest of any appointments were systematically white anted by these serial losers for decades, destroying our international status that continues to this day, while stymieing youth by their cynicism and toxic incompetence, aptly demonstrated by their reaction to a simple friendly.

Then come the keyboard warriors who write the copy without any Football IQ whatsoever.
In fact name one commentator, talking head, or keyboard critic who have coached at any level????

I’m hearing crickets all over the septic tank …. Not Fucken One but they have opinions on how it should be done.. Sure they have opinions, and I have an opinion on nuclear science or brain surgery but I’d be out of my depth.

These wankers think they are self appointed judges of Football with actually no experience on how real powerhouses of the game win World Cups, and they don’t want to know either, as it’s beyond their intellectual capacity to even think how players reach World Cup levels then actually Win.

Oh FFS, we in Australian TV and Broad sheets celebrate getting flogged in world cups. We even extend their contracts, not after one failure but involvement in multiple failures, because they are mates of the media and that cosy relationship keeps them all in jobs, and stuff the football, that’s irrelevant, yet these slimes attack our potential players that who would take us higher than any of their wanna be careers they desperately cling to.

If our.coaches were any good they would be head hunted… Their Not Not One BUT Ange Postagolas has reached a level in 4 countries but was lambasted by the numb nuts here out of pure animosity when he told them all they were idiots on the record and that statement proved correct after that friendly and nothings changed.

They do not have the purchase to criticise as they all failed at the top level, so bottom line is if we do not have intellectual capacity to accept advice, management structures-from Clubs and Nations that have those stars on their national shirts we will be all just dreaming and procrastinating..

And secondly we have to tear ourselves away from the colonialism of brainwashing our kids into thinking England is the only league with history. They jagged it once when Europe was in recovery from Cold War and will never win a World Cup while the money launderers own their game and soul. They haven’t woke up and live in a fantasy land created by the TV rights and advertisers as they do it here,and like us they actually believe the yank franchising model is great, little do they know it’s for the owners while the punters in the stands are the suckers and the media talking heads are paid to indoctrinate you into keeping it that way..

Yes I’m pissed off again..and have a very long memory..

And for the record, back in the time when coaching certificates in Brisbane were given out like bus tickets to poms and Aussie coaches had to pass a course, I rejected that culture and based my education on my workmates who were migrants from all over the world entering Australia from Yungabar hostel and working the Shipyard.

Language was never a problem as football was opening for me and to them, the English language. Their knowledge willingly imparted over that time and was far ahead anything our country could imagine at a time when Soccer was Sir Stanley Mathew’s and the English only please.

I was blessed with having the privilege to work with youth and adults who loved the game as much as me, and as in football the journey is a never ending learning curve for all if you are prepared to a listen, and keep a open mind to the science.

The Game is Simple, Only people complicate it.

Let’s Flick Click Bait in Aussie Sport.

So the Wallabies got their arse kicked by Eddie Jones the Socceroos are in the 16 but to be honest we need a miracle to progress yet no one is asking if not only the international codes but all 4 majors are in good hands for the codes future NOT the medias

If you stop and look at all our football codes the first thing you will find we are following the yank franchise system with the media conglomerates taking the cream and the codes getting the crumbs.

That’s not rocket science because on every single board the media has its representation at the highest level. It has its employees mainly ex legends in their own mind commentary positions all on the payroll looking after their interests and when a Coach or Board member endangers their access the attacks begin.

To be quite honest The AFL and NRL are dead in the water as they are just a travelling circus of coach rotation, official rotation and a massive click bait income advertising stream for Murdock and it won’t change as management base is kept narrow and under control. The NRL handed over the peoples game years ago to the corporates and the AFL is a lone entity with a good fan base but no international standing so easily controlled.. The circuses and the tents are all in place and the people are just accessories to the TV rights.

Now moving to the international codes and this is where the game gets dirty.

Outside international organisations like FIFA and World Rugby are a thereat to the power brokers and any interference is like challenging the mafia. CEOs , coaches managers all will be incur the wrath of the Old Boy network and the following names are some who dared to change the structures or shift access away from the nepotistic inbred culture.

People, professionals with vision railroaded out of the sport because they dared to restrict insider access to international dressing sheds, selection processes IE RaeLine Castle Rugby CEO, (Pictured) railroaded by media, Robbie Deans designated as a traitor, Ange Postacoglis far to smart for the board , media harassment, Ewan McKenzie dared to discipline the medias super stars, railroaded, Eddie Jones branded traitor, Holger Osijek just give up on the unprofessional attitude towards international protocols. And Pim Verbeek (Deceased) because we don’t play like the Dutch., each and every one went on to exceed in their professional lives in far higher levels after leaving but not good enough for our media or Board Rooms who preside and presided over falling world standard positions.

They hold their jobs, and anyone who threatens, the dogs are realised.

So, no good just bitching about it, what’s the solution???

My vision is based on the fans being the major shareholders in the businesses. Board appointees under National Oversight with grass root involvement. Coaching positions called internationally, appointed by internationally qualified panels not necessarily involved with domestic contacts. The system of Franchise ownerships must be dismantled and promotion and relegation structures installed with a ownership ratio of 60/40 Australian to start with with minimal of 55% after bedding in.

This cannot happen within a World Cup window so we have to be prepared to bypass a Cup give it a 8 year span to totally restructure.

The Media will be on invitation only with NO representation in any form on management roles and other platforms ,ie Streaming , invited to bid for rights nationally and internationally opening us up to real time dimensions.

Our Aleague must have regulations in regard local talent and cease it from being a exit lounge for aged players, same with Rugby Pacifica taking on the NZ county model.

Let’s call it, we might not be going backwards much but the rest of the world is booming forward and we are well off the wave.

Bite the bullet now, and start the 8 year cycle, explain it to the masses, get them in as shareholders, educate the importance of International competition and benchmarks and our kids worlds will be widened, our knowledge base expanded and don’t allow self interest dominate our passions.

Our Socceroos in Age Care Culture

Well the question all of us old players and coaches and supporters is “How Many Times do we Have TO FAIL before we clean out the cupboard of the Nepotistic INBred Culture of Australian Football” ???

Every World Cup campaign we get the lets try and make the last 16, and now we were back to Shit we may not even get to the next round..

Oh sorry, Im not the greatest credentialed voice but I have a some experience of coaching with Internationals both men and women and make no claims of contributing to their success.

So, lets look at our present squad and we’ll find that their applications for redundancy have been deferred with a age profile of 27.9 years relying on 17 players who play overseas and the rest from our A League which is a rest home for players who cannot get a contract overseas but keep the youth out from that level and out of the national light.

NO PROBLEM HERE they say we’re lifting the standard and the all important old boys cartel taking the pay cheques even when they are strolling their stuff in 3rd gear there in a no promotion or relegation league and their jobs safe until they retire on their terms. The youth can wait their turn fully supported as if it was their superannuation right.

Our youngest national player ONE OFF is 20 in 2022 campaign so add 4 years till the next cup and our present team the majority will be up for filling more spots in the nursing home of A league …

Sorry again I’m being over critical here NO IM NOT. IT has to be questioned, as our game could be much better and we owe it to our youth.

So our coaching culture was well and truly on show against Oman with our national coach turning our looking like he’d been on the piss and slept in his clothes, making a mistake and putting his pumps on instead of the 6 plugger thongs.

What a total disgrace and dissrespect to our National Emblem but NONE of the Cartel thought enough about it to comment.

That Just Demonstrates the Culture of Cover My Arse and I’ll Cover Yours” that exists across the code and the media apologists so they can gain the keys to the inner sanctum.

No Problem Here, and if their is any rumours of bringing in a coaching team totally independent from a successful country that has performed on the world stage into the country a media campaign will be launched to discredit the appointed…

SOUND FAMILIAR?????

Yes I believe we have a corrupted institution that needs a root and branch clean out for the sake of every single kid in our nation with dreams of putting on the gold strip.

WE owe them that and the Women’s game too should not be left out of a health check.

And by the way our assistant coach from The Netherlands appeared and who knows how his appointment was advertised or confirmed? I’ll stand corrected but its the first I’ve seen him on the payroll. ?????

Look their is no easy answer from this situation we have found our self in,but to gain we have to have pain,and we must start and look at a 8 year plan to qualify and make us a solid respected world contender and to do that it must start at genuine path roads with a culture at the top that after every World Cup every position is declared vacant, no reputations or backdoor deals applying, with a national approach looking at least 4 to 6 year in advance. Strong emphasis on the 16 to 19 year old international competitions PRIORITISED and funded comprehensively and until that pathway is cemented into an entry point including those who have secured contracts overseas within the Under 22 limit.

Yes until they build and have continual feeder opportunities we will get belted but if we embrace overseas experience our road not as rough.

I have one other issue that some will find uncomfortable but for too long our game has been based modelled on the English version of success and we must embrace the full European Football phycology inclusion fan wise and not ownership via the money launderers that destroy grass root say in management otherwise all efforts of bottom up growth will never eventuate and will be stymied by the Football Mafia of billionaires.

America Fails Female Equality Test. L.F.G.

While biding time pre the Matilda v USA Women match we decided to watch a documentary called L.F.G. On the claim for equal pay for American World Champions.

Let’s be totally upfront here, I’m not a America fan, probably instilled by my forefathers view on their involvement in both world wars and their performances since, BUT after seeing this film my opinion of their culture has sunk to a all time low.

The Matilda’s had to fight hard to achieve parity in and as a former trade unionist I wholly appreciate any battle for equality and in sure the majority of Australian people agree, however I never thought women could be regarded as inferior in not only skills but in their physical and mental makeup and that argument used in American court of law.

For that to happen and tolerated their has to be some flaw in not the female anatomy but the entire system of which these people live by and accepted as “normal and acceptable”.

No doubt it’s a total misogynistic system which only exists is for monetary gain which is the Great American Dream of individual capitalism till you reach a level of corporate capitalism and everything else, ethics and compassion, is collateral damage.

This example of the simple rights of a group of women who have outperformed their male counterparts at every single level of the sport yet get about a third reimbursement if their lucky, while the men are flat out finding their way out of the dressing sheds come the big gig ,World Cup time.

It sickens me and my wife that the men all men who are involved in sport can think this is “normal” in America and not have the guts to stand up.

What a pathetic race! “Big toys and little balls,thats the yanks”, was the saying and nothing has changed since 40’s apparently.

I understand the Law system is peculiar to America, yep I understand that. Where child marriage is still tolerated and practiced and accepted as normal says a lot for that system where you can justify anything as long as you have money to buy the outcome you desire without any boundaries or decency or human rights.

Where a political and human rights system has not evolved since settlement so as not to upset the wealthy and corporate moguls and none on either side of the isle having the guts to change even though their society is burning down around them.

So what chance has these strong women got for what is regarded as normal in any civilised society? My guess little without international pressure.

International pressure that would see their federations sanctioned by FIFA nations, cutting their subsidies, releasing their female players from international restraints on who they represent and USA citizenship no longer a currency in a players right to earn a living and right of recall.

We cannot as a football family allow inequality and when it’s exposed it must be acted on. We cannot allow the current thousands of young girls who are as passionate as us be treated as inferior in that environment and we all can play a part by boycotting the companies that support the managements that fail in their duty and support equality in the Women’s Game all over the world, not only America.

The game is bigger that the men with the small balls,and the fathers who accept their youngster is inferior in any way and do absolutely nothing.

LFG means (Let’s Fucken GO!)

At 70yo with the Power of Invisibility

Well I am blessed to be able to sit and write this little ditty as a few of my mates have not been so lucky and left the stage.

Over my life I have not stayed inside any bubble for any great length of time in my work life therefor my social experiences have been as expansive yet as my son grew up my “street wise” credentials have expanded even further. That’s not a reflection on him its a reflection on our parental interest never failed him and like all kids he had to make his own way and I think we gave him that freedom. He was not in our bubble but knew where home was to clarify the point.

The reason I started on this is I am so thankful that I was introduced to what the younger set were thinking, and being a baby boomer we thought we knew the ropes and I /we discovered their were different ropes. Times change and we the old farts have to adjust.

Yes ADJUST, learn and let go and learn again.

Many of my age played the too old or don’t want to card and expected the world to feel sorry or adjust to them, be it business practices, technology, travel even basic shopping they played the victim card not realising it was their choice in the majority of cases so as time progressed that victim card turned into well get onboard and stop the poor me shit.

Personally I’m a self taught bloke, very fortunate to be involved in the biggest technology shift in the world at the leading edge. Thanks to PMG, Telecom Australia , Telstra i was involved in watching learning and partaking in changing the nations communication systems from open wire to fibre.

That knowledge sits with me today as vivid as it was when it happened as it was just exciting to be part and to grasp the knowledge so you could progress to the next level, be it physically and professionally.

I watched my initial trade Boilermaking progress in equipment, techniques but the 4 pound hammer is still a basic requirement. I left for my good and my family’s future taking a massive wage cut to gain security. The punt worked in so many ways I no regrets.

Then it was the Retail phase where we went into the family business, and lived out of the till. My/our decisions, and that was a necessary step we felt at the time. A great experience I don’t regret but it was a tough teacher.

Throw in cab driving, fruit and vegetable at the markets, car detailing, football coaching semi professional, leaves me I feel with reasonable credentials to in my older phase to look where we are, and where I fit.

It seems the older you get the more invisible you are to the busy or self indulged.

Self indulgement was a blessing we never claimed in my set but it was part of the elite lifestyle we never aspired to join for the fear of loosing real friends. Many tried and never has the breeding, and realised it was a inbred thing as it still is today.

Back to our secret power of invisibility we can talk at gatherings and be ignored, stand in line at the shop and people talk past you, say hello or make eye contact and people turn their head, offer advice and help from actual experience to absolute Fuckwitts and be looked at like a dog turd.

Such is life as older human who should be parked up out of sight out of mind.

No I’m not bitter I’m amazed and question myself strongly if I was that discourteous to my elders.. I question that daily. I often disagreed as I did question, but never ignored out of respect.

We old farts are guilty of our own destiny too as many especially in retirement cannot let go of their past and try to remain in roles of importance after retirement, not to the benefit of the organisation but for self importance and relativity.

All good but comes a time for the good of that organisation you have to stand aside a become a mere mortal.

An autocrats nightmare I know but that attitude does nothing for the elder reputation overall, and dare I suggest successive planning.

What a stupid idea is that… “look at me, I’m a senior citizen and there no-one to take my place”, without thinking its you job in reality to find and train people to do your job for the good of the organisation you represent.

Ego won’t allow that too many.

Yes it happens and happening in your bubble. Just look.

Well I’ve calmed down a bit, taken by blood pressure and I’m good to go. So what about the present me?

After being in positions of captain and presidents of football and golf clubs and being active in a playing only capacity for about 5 years I had to stop because of oxygen, or lack of.

Asbestos is not you friend so of late I’ve been asked if I want to help with the golf club Pennants side and I will do the job as I always have in a business like perspective. Results are a priority then comes the social aspect as it costs the club business to compete even though the players are amateur.

All of my “volunteer” roles have been based on the same princiopal which some find it hard to comprehend. That’s my business brain at work and it has cost me friends as they can’t grasp business outside the kitchen table wanna be professionals who have never moved outside their bubble, but know the power point presentations by heart.

Sister too has moved back into the workforce and I admire anyone regardless of age steps into the unknown and challenges themselves outside their bubble.

Pop that bubble and you will see life outside, but be prepared for some push back from those who have taken you for granted, or scared to move outside theirs, directly and indirectly, and be prepared to be challenged. You have no status other than your clipboard even though you may have a title bestowed.

It’s a test of your Basic skills not the ones you may have acquired in your former career.

In closing for now I was pleasantly surprised when a young person asked me if they could contact me for advice in a new role , so my superpower of invisibility is penatratable to some who actually want to converse to another human in a most unfashionable way face to face. Let’s see if that eventuates..

Bye for now, and if I’m still up i’ll be back oxygen permitting..

Murdock Butchers our Local Newspapers

For those who are not so News aware the Murdock Press has made the decision to cease all hard copy news papers to the regional and country areas across Australia and go digital.

This action in effect sends the little and older generations into news darkness as many have no IT or basic computer knowledge.

This may have been self inflicted by some granted as they refused to grow with the times and others unable to grow due to educational limits.

With all that’s said, the facts are people will loose the fabric that binds smaller communities together, a lifestyle that is incomprehensible to the self centred generations living their little boxes with make believe acquaintances online, many unable to communicate face or face let alone read and comprehend a news article.

A bit savage you may think? Yes but truthful and if you need proof, spend a hour or two on a polling booth and see humanity in its raw form doing something that should effect their lives and their family’s.

You will be amazed at the ignorance not only of the political systems but of general manners expected of a human being.

That said as true to form as you can get from Murdock the said they’d keep regional and small papers on takeover from APN and they lied, nothing new again from these bottom feeders of toxic text, and they will expect you to buy the Courier Mail if you want a hands on paper which in fact is nothing more than a LNP newsletter as I have stated many times and subedited out or simply consigned to the junk mail.

Truth and Murdock should never be put in the same sentence, as you now know from their actions.

In my case my editorial days may be limited as many times before my View does not sit with the owners ideology and I have been extremely lucky to have a editor who still feels balanced reporting is a key factor in a democracy, but like the QT she too is moving and many of the contributors may join me in the junk mail due to our views clashing with the owners ideology also.

That’s life but it does not help those who have been thrown into darkness, those businesses who’s adds were accessible freely will not have a presence of picking up a paper, the sporting body who wants any press to help them survive, the cocky who wants the cattle prices, the auctioneer, the church, the garage sale, and you can go on all gone to the iPad or smart phone of the fortunate.

To be honest I’m looking at community radio as a service, not a competitive entity but NFP (non for profit) organisation and any other media stream APP to try and compensate the losses, and any ideas please fill in at the bottom of this blog. Also Periscope the live App has been mentioned.

And I cannot close without mentioning the silence of the Hanson’s, the Katters, the Nationals all supposed to represent country people but obviously terrified to upset their puppet master Murdock, their absolute silence says why we as a nation need to govern ourselves for ourselves not run the agenda of a non tax paying overseas jerk , but not one of the conservatives have the guts to call him out. Political Harlots. All looking for that headline from Rupert.

Raelene Castle’s Professionalisms To High for the White Ants.

Well the old boys club of rugby will be back slapping over their glass of port and a cigar in the men’s club around the country.

They got their scalp. Who in their right mind would put a women in a position, a New Zealand women in charge even though the game was In free fall before she come to the desk.

Not only that the club did a Gillard on her, lambasting her personal appearance disregarding he medical condition, the lowest one can go but it didn’t deter the commentators all with their own agendas of keeping power in the halls of power in NSW and keeping their jobs on Fox.

So what did she do wrong? She stood up against discrimination, she stood up for a competitive broadcasting terms, and with limited funds attempted to get the second tier competitive, but not good enough.

This is not about Australian Rugby progressing it’s about power and be assured the Fox Commentators, the ones that white anted her continually will just happen to get the leather seats and head in the trough.

No wonder Australian sport fails internationally, we think we have all the answers, but we read our own press and believe it, and if anyone points that out their regarded some sort of traitor.

We are the laughing stock of the professionals overseas, because we don’t behave like professionals because it’s too hard for us to accept that because you won once does not make you a authority on all knowledge, that knowledge on the field and off.

Mrs Castle is a professional and standing down and her exit demonstrated that to us who appreciate the heat in the kitchen will leave with a credible history, one that none of the misogynistic contenders has and never will.

Do the Hard Yards early on Covid_19

As Aussie’s we all have a responsibility to be responsible and look after each other.

Yeah I thought that when I went to the polls and then greed and self interest reigned so can we trust ourselves in regards to containment of the covid_19?

That’s a question we all need to ask. I’ve sat and listened to people who think this situation is a hoax, I’ve seen it lambasted in cartoons on social media, and I’ve seen our leaders be more concerned about the economic consequences forgetting totally about a national approach across the board direction on a strategy to fight this plague.

It’s been one big duck shove from Federal to State on making decisions on what to do, leaving it to organisers or owners to make decisions and politicians are bouncing off the walls not wanting to loose some sort of political standing.

Don’t answer questions, or answer questions that were not asked so as to stick with the the days narrative.

This is not a game and we may have to be what the Chinese have done and force lockdowns as that strategy is being seen to have succeeded.

Secondly tell me anyone who believes America has prepared itself under Trump and why they should not be on the banned countries entering Australia?

They refused Trump that is to acknowledge its devastating potential until this week, months behind the curve and now its beyond control inside their borders and like Italy we need to act that is if our PM has our country at heart by not angering his political clone.

Yes I am in the target zone and I do have a stake in this, and it’s up to me and my friends to do the right thing by each other asks all of us, but if we do the hard yards early I reckon we will win sooner than later.
