Brisbane had six academy/father son picks today plus some free agents from bottom clubs, so heartwarming. Well done @afl, please lecture us again about rebuilding.

I’m leaving Australia today after being here and New Zealand for two weeks. I don’t want to be hyperbolic but it changed my life. I’ll be coming back here annually for the rest of my life. It’s the home away from home I never knew I had. My latest column: thesportingtribune.com/2026/…

The Welcome to Country was not just performed by Joy Murphy Waldin, an Elder of the Kulin Nation, but the “Wominjeka to Naarm” was wildly cheered as well.
We will make your beloved sport woke as hell.
Cope with it, you racist bastards with a senile pedophile for a president.

I wrote about Richmond's rebuild, supporter expectations, and how it feels to be unsure if the direction you're headed is the right one or not.

Paris proves bold leadership transforms cities. 🌍
From suffocating smog (2007) to clean, green & livable streets (2023):
🚴♀️ 100s of km of bike lanes
🌳 Tens of thousands of trees
🚗 Car-free zones & 30 km/h limits
Millions now breathe clean air.
When will we dare to follow? 💪

An attempt to write an opinion piece for The Age enthusiastic about the Suburban Rail Loop met with a predictable result.

In abandoning all emissions targets for 2030, the Liberal Party has made uncertainty and business disruption their trademark.
For business certainty we need more action on climate, not less.

Those who doubt the CSIRO’s energy modelling which proves nuclear costs twice as much no doubt use WiFi daily, protect themselves with aeroguard, and use plastic banknotes. All invented & pioneered by the CSIRO. The politicians & sceptics just need to say ‘thank you’ & move on.

Apologies! Although in fairness to Nick it’s easy to get the generic franchise teams confused.

Thanks to every single one of you who came to our massive Town Hall event last night. Independence IS the difference. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are Goldstein, and we are independent. #auspol

…huge thanks to everyone here who supports @climate200 — you've helped 11 into federal parl, 3 into NSW parl & many seats become marginal.
…we're on track to support ~25 community independent campaigns at the coming federal election.
🙏 pls donate 💸

This law could fundamentally change who can get into parliament for a generation.
Australia needs a new approach to politics that encourages political engagement and participation in our democracy, not a lock out strategy that signals to ordinary Australians that they're not welcome to get involved.
Lead better. Don’t change the rules to help you win.

Talent is the best way to win footy games. But what even is it? How do we identify and nurture it?
For this piece, I spoke to an AFL club employee who works in list management, and is part of a growing community of analysts who are reshaping the game.
