According to some, EVERYTHING is Albo's fault. Nothing like profound intellectual debate in our body politic.
The stupidity of this woman is beyond measure. She thinks it’s Albo’s fault that David Jones has gone under.

After the Brabham era, he reignited Australia's interest in @F1 just as it was making a jump shift from garagistes to the mainstream. Always box office, he also played a key role in deciding who won the famed 1976 title on that crazy day at Fuji. Vale.
We are very saddened to hear of the passing of World Champion Alan Jones. ‘Jonesy’ made his first F1 entrance at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix with the Hesketh squad before going on to famously claim the title in 1980 alongside Frank Williams at his eponymous team. A fierce racer and competitive spirit Rest In Peace

A sad day. One of the sport's true characters and a bloody good driver. Always forthright, sometimes to his detriment, and he wasn't afraid to drive in other categories. Unlucky not to win Bathurst too. He and his father Stan - the only father/son combo to win the Australian GP.
Vale Alan Jones. It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends. As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix. He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

And his mother is Australian. Wouldn’t that be fascinating?
Surely this is the next President of the United States.

Think back to Bledisloe 2 - did the Declan Meredith no-try decision make sense? What about Jeremy Williams' yellow card? @rob_mckay is back with another edition of Ask the Ref to clarify things... (spoiler: both were right) 8/9 Rugby on Substack: buff.ly/orL1qDQ
