Wallabies sponsored by Santos lose all matches in European Tour. First time in 67 years. Karma. Serves them right. Not a gas led recovery.

I'm sure there was a headline quite recently that EV sales had 'tanked', now the headline says there are 'record numbers of electric cars selling in Australia'. This Road User's Charge discussion appears to be being driven by the Fossil Fuel Lobby.

Dozens more countries face higher taxes on exports to US as new Trump tariffs come into effect

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.

Which is also why you should share it.

What's wrong with Australian Journalism?
Even the @australia.theguardian.com is running headlines starting with: 'Dutton Says ...'

I often wonder whether Nine Entertainment makes their coverage of the Tennis and #NRL so bad to encourage everyone to buy the streaming streaming services.

The signs are up at the office for the 2025 Tour Down Under. Say NO to gas & Santos! Say YES to cycling!

The Tour Down Under needs a new sponsor - one that doesn't cause oil spills, that pays tax and that doesn't profit from fuelling the climate crisis.

Roger Rasheed needs to STFU on StanSport. #KoKKvDraper. Switched over to 9Now and immediately heard #MacTheMouth. Is this some Tennis Existentialist Torture?

Josh Eagle giving great advice on changing on tennis racquets to a different type. You have to made the complete change. 'You can't keep going back to "old faithful".' #MadisonKeys #AdelaideInternational

#TippingPointToddy should stick to his new career as a Games-Show Host. His commentary during the Mixed Doubles at the #UnitedCup was bizarre. Chook Raffles? #YouCanNotBeSerious #9Now #StanSport

Test Cricket over for a few days, so now I can focus fully on the Tennis. I only lasted 2 days with the ads on #9now before I couldn't take anymore and reactivated my #StanSport account.

John Millman is giving outstanding tactical analysis in commentary at the #BrisbaneInternational. More #Millmania and less #TippingPointToddy in commentary please. #9now #StanSport #UnitedCup
