    I don't have much time for fossil fuel advocates I've lived my life using fossil fuels A year ago I migrated to an all-electric home/car with at least 75% renewable energy My bills have dropped 75% My car is a dream to drive I'm never regressing to that old expensive life

    My 6 year old daughter had a severe breathing attack yesterday. The GP directed us to pediatric emergency at Canberra Hospital. She was stabilised and admitted. She is doing great thanks to brilliant care. The cost will be $47 Universal medical care saves lives.

    He is 1000% wrong. Everyone knows that the last row seats don't recline. Pick another seat if its a problem. Passengers have every right to recline except during meal service. Whacking the seat in front is just being a jerk.

    You can practice your religion. You just can't preach hate. Not preaching hate is a pretty common requirement in most areas of employment. You wouldn't vilify an opponent on the field for their sexual orientation. Try that approach off-field too.

    I don’t think the Australian and Victorian governments are trying to “blackmail” Novak Djokovic by their mandatory vaccination laws. I don’t think either give a toss about ND. If he wants his place in history simply obey the laws in Australia. If not. Don’t

    Catching the train between Canberra and Sydney today 270km in 4 hours 30 year old rolling stock on 100+ year old track 70km/h average speed What an absolute embarrassment.

    I have been informed that umpire Fergus Murphy, well known, well liked, and well respected on Tour, has received words of support from a number of players. No umpire deserves to be treated as Nick Kyrgios treated Fergus. It was despicable behaviour rightly fined by ATP

    If Will Smith was a tennis player he would have received a suspended sentence on the promise that he doesn’t do it again.
    Will Smith banned from Oscars gala and other Academy events for 10 years after slapping comic Chris Rock at the Oscars bbc.in/3Jrwzk2

    I’ve followed and analysed this case. This case has been transparent. There is a 32 page detailed decision of every step of the process. There is now a detailed explanation of the plea agreement reached for the 3 month
    PTPA statement regarding the Jannik Sinner case.

    The many people claiming the Sinner case involved coverups and rule breaking by the ATP, ITF, ITIA etc, sorry but the election wasn’t stolen. The rules appear to have been followed. The one difference is that Sinner immediately could prove the source with capable counsel

    It is beyond frustrating how so many tennis commentators have zero understanding of the rules and even less interest in educating themselves before spouting off ignorance like this.
    Italian chiefs @atptour should hold press conference re: #Sinner doping scandal. If ATP deems Sinner bears "no fault or negligence", then why did they cover it up for 5 months, and why remove his points and $320,000 income from Indian Wells? My analysis grandslammagazine.com/2024/08/21/atp…

    It’s very unusual for a B sample not to match the A I can’t recall the last time that happened. I’m sure it has but it’s exceedingly rare. Good luck Mr Bol. You reputation is intact. But questions need asking of the lab and how it processed and assessed the A sample.

    I have said it before, I will say it again: @atptour @WTA @ITFTennis in circumstances where players are extremely abusive physically or verbally or when actual harm to people around the court has occurred or was at high risk of occurring, then suspend players. Enough. Stop it

    This is not a hill to waste political capital on. Teachers use YouTube for teaching. Kids under 16 have YouTube channels. This cant be enforced. Stop gambling ads targeting kids instead. Now that would help.
