But Iran is already charging a toll, they permit ships from countries and charge a toll on them. Seems like knowledging reality and a consquence of starting this idiotic war.

The leading researchers behind the Arab Barometer are out with a new @foreignaffairs.com piece examining America’s plummeting popularity (and the growing acceptance of China) in the region

There is some variation across countries but the trends are clear

Also, it could make the push for future tram and train expansion (middle to long term) a no-brainer; 'remember when people lost the distance they could transport themselves'.

I think the most impressive project Melbourne Water has done upon the Moonee Ponds creek was the 2002 creation of the Jacana wetland. Providing a habitat for migratory birds.

They actually didnt remove the concret from the base of the creek, just removed the sides.

This was a cool one!

Got to sit down with @HarvardBiz for a lengthy Q&A on the Iran War and the ongoing, historic energy supply crisis: how it works, how bad it could get, and how decision makers should think about the risk.

Both have positives and negatives, like with Ange talking about booing Spurs fans or club structure, they have a mindset of my way. Not saying they will not adapt or growth albeit the structure of the national team itself unfortunately promotes this hierarchy.

Maybe wrong, just my rambling thought

I think it is dichotomy of what Popovic wants in a national team, disciplined defenive team, not like Montemurro fluid possession football . Unlike other countries fans need to recognise like at club level coachs have a huge influence on the squad and what they want to do.

@donoteat.bsky.social Fettermen again.

True, another one. Atleast they dont field a senior team yet.

Thats is Brunswick Juventus. They can run a cool story about why there are 4 Juventus clubs around Melbourne that claim to come from 1 club.

The crazy diagram if your interested.

I am gonna throw a wild one out there, which they wont do, and our St Kilda Fc forwards

-An Irish club started about 2015

last year, I was introduced to a mysterious American man who wanted to know more about the #ALeagueWomen and women's football in Australia.

as it turns out, he represented an overseas consortium looking to expand their portfolio here.

so what happened next?

I agree with you, it is stupid.

All i was trying to say was it has been a long term vision of TA which he directly contributes too and adds legitimacy towards.

State government rejects $1 billion bid for control of Melbourne Park An ambitious $1 billion plan for Tennis Australia to take over and revitalise Melbourne Park has been shelved.

Always remember Tennis Australia always has wanted more control and use over the area.

I'm in that video, took about 11 minutes yo get to the front of the queue. Town Hall doubled by 2pm to encompassing the entire crypt.

It is private but they literally nearly all owned by unions. Literally what if IG Metall could invest and raise money on a stock exchange anywhere in the world.

No you dont, it's called supperannuation retirement. Grow your way outa it bro.

Omg a positive in Australian football, impossible!

I respect your opinion around this and understand.

Also I have a controversial opinion. I hate the Comengs, literally on run late and fail all the time.

Those people that like it dont haft to ride it in 2026.

Tbh sounds like most people talking about the Hitachi trains, but they didnt ride it in summer in like 2005. Suna experience that was.
