it doesn't really make it clear personally, i think it is a fishing expedition to embarrass the afl and then after that.....who knows. i can't think the current administration at essendrugs would be too happy as it will just be a distraction and raise issues they are trying to put behind them

absolutely jack, but no-one will even talk about it, let alone develop policies to address it

weren't evans, vlad and fitzpatrick partners in some business?

it's on again...........popcorn time Human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, QC, to lead case against AFL chief, ex-commission chairman

iirc they did well with that port melbourne pub too, didn't they?

'virtually nothing'.......surely you jest?

not at all, nut i'm all in favour of doing something if only to reduce pollution, wanton destruction of the planet and deletion of finite resources the issue is not to do something but HOW one does something and responsibly managing the impact /transition

as if the afl/mrp would ever be consistent - ha

i once had an old vinyl record with a defective track. it just went on and on and on i finally relocated it to the circular file

wonder if they will get monash to do a study on the impact of sports betting ......oh, wait a minute

meanwhile..................Siberian cold front sweeps across Europe, bringing record low temperatures shhhhh........................

*melanotin melatonin is used for sleep disorders sorry for being [censored] - lol

they are trying (maliciously) to somehow just link it (social damage) to afl club owned pokies. ...big fat LOL number of mentions in press and repeated on radio. media happy to just bait the afl rather than any attempt at rational analysis

it will be strange indeed if the afl ever stop clubs owning pokies (only to be sold to someone else) if they don't at the same time sever all support for and acceptance of money from the (growing) sports gambling industry for the latter they could actually have some impact but on the former they would just transfer it to some other owner i don't gamble nor support the gambling industry but i don't see how divesting of poker machines is any more than plain old window dressing

maybe, but some of the bom's apparent handling of climate change practices would seem to justify closer scrutiny or dare i say a little skepticism. no harm in applying a little skepticism to BOTH sides of the divide, eh?

i can't remember. i was quite younger than him and he was a regular visitor to a house in st. kilda road. yes, there were (stand-alone) houses in st. kilda road then.

it doesn't have to be an overt, conscious, conspiratorial thing. ht. self preservation is a wonderful motivator look on the flip side, imagine if one were a climate cynic in the bom. do you think their career prospects were rosy or threatened? just my devil's advocate 2c

photographic memory does not a genius make incidentally ht, i used to know barry reasonably well in his early quiz days. not a bad bloke, smart but no genius

this doesn't compute. no true genius would ever become a politician. it would be oxymoronic
