he also apparently offered to call the boxing day test for the abc for free but was knocked back

off to the crows then?

we should only accept bona fide atheists - simple edit: provided they are not nihilists or anarchists edit2: better exclude hippies and hipsters too

yes there was. it was on one side of a restaurant napkin iirc

interesting how the article ends

was spot on about the $100B cost of fttp , irw. telstra's industrial sabotage not helping either (though was predictable)

glad you agree with me

col sylvia was ripped

think it is 6 and under here ethan, and i think it is only for ga

what did he rip? hamstring or shoulder?

until this.... All I Can Be by Nathan Buckley, Ben Collins (With)

ben collins.......never heard of him........but i have now. ......must remember to forget him

but......assuming the result is no further action and the incident is closed......what can they say that will satisfy everyone? I'd suggest they would say nothing of any great substance and all that would achieve would be raising more media, public awareness and discussion let's not forget (a) we don't know the complainant (b) we don't know the accused and (c) we don't now the details of the complaint. We have been told the complainant doesn't wish to make a formal statement. In essence this issue hasn't even got to first base and we would have known nothing if someone hadn't leaked it and the media ran with it. Interestingly the media dropped the whole story after one day. I agree with rjay's post above

the club flick-passed it to the afl. if there is a follow up it should first come from the afl. it could be that all parties plus the afl and club feel that the matter is closed and no ongoing publicity (i.e. communication) is the best solution in the circumstances and the media has agreed..........there again...........................

plus the similar end of season fade-out in 2016

well they didn't with milne. iirc. but i suppose that was quite some time ago and things have changed. still, they would need to have some good info/facts to do that and go public

in all fairness maurie, it should be pointed out that many of the 'captains of industry' are not taking their new-found climate stances purely because they are 'true agw believers' or out of a sense of altruism (unless you believe in the tooth fairy) i know someone very well who works for a very large financial corporation whose job is 100% interfacing with all the agw lobby groups and government bodies. At the end of the day many of these 'captains' are steering their ships in the direction of least resistance with maximum revenue and profit always very much in mind i would be reluctant to use major businesses as examples of the validity of agw, when they have so many other well known agendas just saying....

just to give a more complete picture of co2/temperature ranges across the ages note cambrian period with 7000ppm co2 and a average global temperature of a 22C note all the other times where the average global temperature has been around 22C (quite a lot of the time actually) and look at the corresponding co2 levels. there doesn't seem to be a very close correlation

but not as a principal (emirites) or major sponsor (aami, james boag, kennedy, myer) i still hope it is lexus

I hope everybody had a merry burial yesterday https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/894357/christmas-meaning-word-ancient-egypt-hebrew-malcolm-hutton
