Brett Lee said that Jacques Kallis was the best cricketer of all time. Or something like that. About time somebody said it. At the very least, the best all rounder. Extraordinary cricketer.

How low will Trump have to go before the Australian government says, no. Before we criticise and denounce. Would it be a takeover of Greenland?

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Gary Oldman is a great actor. His portrayal of Winston Churchill in the Darkest Hour is awesome. It is genuinely scary how close Hitler came to winning the war and changing the world forever. The power of words should never be underestimated. Want to change the world, tell a better story.

A one trillion dollar pay package. There is no way this is ethical. There is no way that you can argue this on its merits. It is the logical end point of a busted system. It is not even accurate to talk about the divide between rich and poor anymore. Capitalism has jumped the shark.
