Why are these chancers not given Jail time? Banning someone from being a Company Ditector is 100% ineffective and similarly irrelevant. All they do is get their Wife or mate to be the name, on any 'Paperwork'. Nowadays, if you're a ruthless Covid con artist, you get to be in the House of Lords!

Unlike the national pseudodebt, state debts are real, actually have to be serviced, repaid, with real future resources. The difference? Federal government 'debt' is denominated in a currency that it controls, issues.

The rot started with John Howard. Boomers may be the main beneficiaries of his policies but it's the Silent Generation, for the most part, who kept him in power over a decade. My MIL, now 93, adored him. I can say my late Dad, born in 1917, despised him though. #auspol

“Tasmanians are rightly appalled at the way they’ve been treated by the AFL,” said @eloise-carr.bsky.social. Our polling found 69% agree that the Tasmanian Parliament should renegotiate with the AFL to avoid building a new stadium.

Regardless of who wins the July 19 state election, Tasmanians want the govt to rip up the dud stadium deal with the AFL. Our research reveals more than two-thirds of Tasmanians believe the stadium deal is unfair and want Parliament to stand up to the AFL and negotiate a new deal.

www.theroar.com.au/2025/06/20/t... What a nauseating read. Laying it on thick. Maybe boys and girls aren't playing AFL in Tasmania because they simply don't want to. It's not through lack of a team, it's lack of interest. Soccer is the most popular sport among young people in Tasmania.
