'indoctrinated'? thats a long word for a standard or garden variety bigot!  if you only knew its meaning.

Stop sniffing that for 'morons only' glue you use when sticking yourself down onto the road.

Why?  Because as exceptional as that was in 1978, the fact that she is still at the top of that list makes it even more remarkable.

As for being "divisive" I don't find it "divisive" at all to recognize her sporting achievements. Besides most of these awards are dished out to people for just doing their jobs, at least she has talent. 

it seems the only time things are not "divisive" is when someone agrees with what those on the regressive side of politics want.  Her award is being made "divisive" by them.  

You'll get your chance to vote ScoMo and have him replaced by ...um..what's his name

You won't believe this Enzo but I'm with you on this.  What her views are irrelevant.  Unless she received them for services to the homosexual community which she didn't.

What next?  Vetting of all recipients views lest someone be offended?  Besides all of that the media ask her about this knowing that she'll respond in a way that will create headlines.  Stop asking and you won't get her opinion.

Would love to see a journo hound a muslim recipient of an AO about their views on homosexuality.  Watch the SJW's lose their minds if that happened.

I am not a leftie - I am a centrist as is most of the country. I have no problem with either the LNP or ALP being in power as they represent the vast majority of Australians. What I do take issue with is Morrison's inability to lead, his constant ducking and weaving if there is a problem, his only turning up for good announcements, his shutdown of debate, his inability to take responsibility for anything even when they are federal responsibilities, taking sports to task for being political while politicizing sport for his own ends. If you don't think Court's upgrade is another example of this then you are kidding yourself.

Once again - this is not an attack on Margaret Court. She has always had her own views and whatever they are they should not impact on her contribution to tennis - the award is merited - just mistimed. Another example is Sir Donald Bradman who was a member of a group that planned to kidnap the premier. I'm sure that was not what he was knighted for. 

My argument is politicization of a process that should be a unifying process were we celebrate each others achievements. Should she refuse the award because of everyone knocking back theirs? - Definitely not!! Should the GG look at rescinding it?  Definitely not!!

Its the impracticality of a 14 day quarantine period for a midweek game. Our overseas stars will not come back for it

Nor would the opposition team's players, you would assume. And the AFC would probably take their side in any dispute.

I think either the quarantine would be waived, with international arrivals coming in on a fly-in/fly-out basis and essentially placed in an airtight bubble while in the country, or the games will have to take place on neutral soil.

You do realise the selection of honours is not by any politicians but by representatives from all walks of life, across the political spectrum including those from Chairman Dans the People’s Socialist Republic of Victoria?

She wasn’t asked. She penned a letter off her own back to the paper. But otherwise I kinda agree but fuck all these old stubborn racist bigoted sexist humans still holding high positions in society. Yeah and my dad aha

You'd do well to remember that when you're teeing off at 'the left'.

Well India did send a test team AND we have sort of bungled our way to almost being ready to host the Australian open.... it won't be pretty but it is  conceivable that Tokyo could pull it off although it will be a huge reduction in participating nations I feel.

Feel sorry for Olyroos boys, geez we haven't qualified since 2008 and this happens.

Hopefully FIFA could organise a u21 tournament later in the year as its very harsh on all players that have qualified for their respective countries. 

Lol feel for Japan it cost them 1bn to suspend it for a year 

To cancel it completely would hurt a hell of a let more then that!!
