I misread that as "The" Whitehouse ...

That's a wide brush you have there, Mart. Can you add a little detail?

A big defeat at home to the Stormers for the Scarlets - their fourth biggest home defeat since 2003 in Celtic Rugby. It's also the first time they've failed to score at home in the competitions history.

That’s what first past the post does for you, Pete. Get some electoral reform and start using proportional representation. Stop the gerrymandering.

Glorious. Jørgen Watne Frydnes ... take a bow.

The stadium must be used way more for non-rugby purposes than rugby, no?

That's surprising given the Aviva is such a small stadium.

What do you call someone who has no concept of morality? A sociopath.

Unfortunately for Trump, he's just about smart enough to know he's the dumbest rock in the room. Just how low was your IQ score, Donny? Always the projection ...

The danger is social networks pumping out lies with impunity.

You mean the fella who investigated Trump’s opponent right in the middle of a campaign? That “critic”?

Yay! More deforestation, more labour abuses and more environmental degradation. Isn't the US great?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Is this another gift? More corporate welfare from the LNP similar to when Scomo gave Qantas $2bn? Or does this mean we tax payers get an equity stake?

This is why the right hates education ...

www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

A recent Pew Research Center analysis found that in 2015, nearly half of college graduates (48%) held either consistently liberal (26%) or mostly liberal (21%) opinions about the role and performance of government, social issues, the environment and other topics.

By comparison, just 31% of those with less education had consistently (8%) or mostly (22%) liberal views.

Reddin making decisions on financial & business matters is bizarre. How is he qualified to do that? He's a sports scientist. He's not a businessman. The clichéd nonsense he spouts only makes him look even more out of his depth. He has no experience in growing a sport. He's a coach.
