    Long Live King Charles

    Queen Elizabeth II was generally beloved. She was probably the greatest barrier for the republican movement, as although she is not without controversy or even scandal, she was generally loved and trusted, and was as steady a hand anyone could ask to be a head of state. Regardless, that era is...

    Website inaccessible

    It is rare that I'm able to get bigfooty to load these days, living in the US (NY to be specific). On my desktop I get a bad gateway error, and on my phone I'll just get the website to begin to load, but then suddenly cut to white. Some days it will load if I refresh it enough, though most days...

    Total free trade with the US?

    Trump just left G7 with the proposal that they would remove all US tariffs across all industries, if they did the same for them. Should Australia not be very emphatically, and very publicly, jumping on this? Given how one sided our own free trade with the US was, and the general unwillingness...

    Increasing finance reporting trend

    Something I have noticed 'creeping into the system' over the last few years is the way that government expenditure costs and revenues are increasingly being reported by the government, and in turn parroted by the media, as "X amount over Y years", or simply shortened to "X". Its blatant lying...

    (another) HECS thread

    Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone out here would be able to help out in both some info and opinions. Q's: 1). If I want to make a voluntary contribution to my HECS repayment, how do I go about doing it? 2). Is interest charged on outstanding HECS debt applied at the end of the calendar...

    My first studio apartment

    Hey everyone. I have never really wanted to put myself into the position where I have to pay a home off. My field of work is not overly stable in nature, so I have never wanted to put myself in a postilion where I am stressed about the future of the company/industry, and never wanted to own...

    If the greens hold the balance...

    Why wouldn't they just adopt the position that they will block everything until an ETS is passed? Including policies they would otherwise endorse. After all, there is no greater moral challenge. Would paralyse the government who will have to get opposition approval to pass anything at all -...

    "not for owners occupation "

    I have started looking at some appartment prices in an area I'd like to buy in a few years time, and this is something which I have been noticing in a number of advertisments. What does this mean? I imagien its self-explanitory in a way, but what exactly would be preventing me from owning and...

    E*Trade and US share trading

    Hey all, I am just thought I would put out a call for help in case there were people out here who have more of an idea about foreign trading than I do (which is virtually none). I work for a US-based company who give employees stock (RSU's, bobuses, a salay share investment plan etc.). They...

    Swans declare war?

    I know that Roos and the swans waged a media campaign against GWS in the early stages, but now that GWS is going ahead, surely its time for them to adapt? They have every right to look after themselves in terms of securing local talent, but now is the time for them to implement another model...

    Which NRL player would the league be targeting?

    You only have top read half the hyperbolic nonsense coming from the Syndey press to be aware that the AFL is supposedly targeting some more rugby league players to play for GWS. While I am skeptical that this will end up being the case, (and on an unrelated note I would be skeptical that such...

    Every time a player holds the ball above his head...

    You can write us off. With 5 minutes to go in the first quarter, a quarter where we were up 5 goals to nothing, we did this. This epitomizes, in my eyes at least, the Laidley years. It is the reason why we never flog teams, and why we seem to have more successes when coming from behind...

    GM Bankrupt

    Not exactly fresh off the press, but I just noticed that GM finally filed for bankruptcy last night. So Ford is the only one holding on at the moment. Will be interesting to see what this means for Holden in the coming months. A lot of companies around the world are connected to GM. There...

    What a waste.

    This is all so very disappointing. The worst thing about the loss tonight, was that we had nothing to gain by winning. We have been hit hard by injuries, but by fielding a side of players who do not deserve to be playing, wether due to lack of form or by playing experienced players that...

    The 'At Least they are trying' government.

    It occurred to me today that I am observing a strange phenomena in Australian politics. A while ago I was chatting lightly to an old high school mate of mine about the financial crisis. He doesn't know much about it, but he expressed his opinion on Rudd's package: "At least they are trying"...

    Summer footy logo slog 08/09 - QF 4 Col v StK

    The SFLS is a competition to find who has the best logo in the AFL. Last week's Qualifying Final was the third landslide in as many matches. The blues came in with a late logo change, and the Swans made them regret it. 34 votes to 14, a 71 – 29 percentage victory. So now the Swans join...

    The SFLS is a competition to find who has the best logo in the AFL. Contrary to my prediction, last week's match was an even worse bloodbath than the first Qualifying Final. The lions got out to a flyer - collecting the first three votes in what has to be the biggest false dawn since the...

    New AFL video game announced.

    Summer footy logo slog 08/09 - QF 1

    Hello, and welcome to the off-season. Amidst all the buzzing excitement of the boards, I have taken the initiative to attempt a perilous quest to find the best logo in the AFL. Naturally, we cannot achieve this by having an immediate 16 club free-for-all, where the club with the most...

    It's not the end of the world.

    But it's not far off it. I am honestly left in the dark as to what comes next. I will be hoping for a miracle that the Saints, Crows and Swans fall over this week. I honestly believe we are a club that is more than capable of taking it up to the best in the league. But we are also capable...

    This has to be a record. I am having a lazy Sunday keeping tabs of my super coach teams on the AFL’s Game Day Live. Nick Stevens was letting the team down. At three quarter time he was on 13 points. Final Siren, and he finishes with 120. Bloody hell, who else can get over 100 points in...
