aww thats cute!
'indoctrination!' cries the little man who can only unthinkingly parrot murdochs dogma.

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!!

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.

lol

Hahaha dont mess with his neo-McCarthyism its cruel.....

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

Listening to the radio some dizzy broad thinks because the afl, nrl and cricket could run during covid the Olympics could do it just fine. 

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 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?

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.

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!!

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.  

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

100%.

You've gotta love the Lefties.

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

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

Would have thought they'd carve out an exemption for athletes etc to jump the queue.  Not that I want that to happen.  Just thought that's what they'd do. 

Maybe we can host the Olympics at Lakeside, we already have a running track :)

:)

Bang your head on a brick wall and you'd get a better result.  Clown of the highest order.  'Chairman Dan'.  FFS.

3, 2, 1...before being called a 'leftard'.  What a rocket scientist.

Margaret Court got her upgrade for tennis. I have no problem that she gets the award - she has won the most grand slams of any one person. However, it should have been awarded in 1978 the year after she famished playing tennis. There is no justification for it now. Her views on other matters are no different than other people have said that have not got any award. So why upgrade her 'tennis' award now.

The fact that it awarded now is purely another divisive action by Morrison by using her views to hide the fact that he has had no plan except to rort everything in sight. No plan for quarantine, no plan for aged care, no plan for bushfires, no plan for Covid response. 

He has been dragged kicking and screaming to action when he has made any action - whether by Premiers of both sides of politics or by other advocates. He wanted to be leader - I am past waiting for him to start.

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

Why would the government let the other team's players into the country but not ours?

So what advice have you got for Boris J with over 100,000 deaths under his UK leadership?! 

You're wrong. The Lefties are the ones creating the fight by their whining and childish acts like handing back an award (ABC's indoctrinated Kerry O'Brien). Chairman Dan has even gone a step further with his bitching when he should mind his own business and concentrate on repenting the 800 deaths under his leadership.

Didn't they skip a 3rd stage of testing? They're desperate, we are not.

Japanese government insist that the games are on, so that means they're on. Reuter will be back after one week suspension for Phoenix as they try and get their season back on track.

I reckon coronavirus related conversation is definitely on topic, but I appreciate your point.

Exactly! Why not back in April, when it was cleared for human trials?

If it was considered an acceptable risk to put the vaccine into 1077 human beings (sans the control group) beginning on April 23rd, surely risking couple of million taxpayer bucks on getting production up and running at that time is nothing in comparison, considering the potential upside.

CSL started manufacturing the Oxford vaccine on 9 Nov 2020.
