Commonwealth Games my friend. Tad too small for the Olympics.

For mine, it has to be a 15 minute turnaround, with players warming up on an outside pitch. In Allianz case, either SCG or the Kippax Lake field. That’s how it used to work (and work well) in rugby league right up to the late 90s.

Hospital OT was an 18 month wait.

My concern in that area is, how many kids are missing out? We only got picked up for both services because of a NICU follow-up. And we've had to go private on the OT while waiting for NDIS...

Qualified for the hospital speech program(s) which has been a godsend, but now also waiting for NDIS.

My son's kindy class next year appears to be much bigger than my daughter's 19. It's a one stream school with only 170-odd kids at moment.

Saw Bondi also reducing classes and fundraising for specialist teachers. Sounds like a big reduction inside next 4 or 5 years as those intakes become the norm!

Interesting, we are losing our first one next week (end of year 1, moving to Central Coast). +1 from England earlier this term.

Catholic school with a kindy class of 19.

Like the Metro is Step 1, Western Harbour Tunnel Step 2 probably secretly.

Especially as the cross-bench grows, the demand for alternative input grows. Should be increasing towards 8 weeks per school term.

Jeonbuk without doubt.

Indiana survives, great news all around.

National Intelligence doesn’t need a background check, it knows everything already!

The funny part was the 40 runs England still needed would have taken about another hour of play, but nope, we’re off to the docks!

That sounds like $40m accumulated, not annual.

I love this one the best.

“We’ve extended the sale for 2 weeks but have had to reduce the discounts substantially.” Nobody asked for that.

What on earth are they still spending on to let it get that far out of hand?

Subregional tournaments =
Nations League(s) or genuine subregional and intercontinental tournaments such as Suzuki Cup, Arab Cup, West Asian FF championships, Olympics qualifiers, Pan Pacific Championships (new suggestion).
