Pinot....I thought Ollie Hollands was one of our best across the two practice games. Yep, he was pretty quiet against the Lions but I'd be backing him in.Ollie looked like a boy among men out there this week, got rag-dolled on several occasions, or easily bumped out of contests. He needs to use his greatest asset, run and carry, to greater effect.
How is he scarier than the other republican candidates?You only need to listen to his proclamations to realise he is a narcissistic liar who believes he is above all accountability. If he is in the Oval Office again, he will make sure that things are done his way this time, and any political/business/legal opponents will find their proverbial heads on stakes and on display in Times Square.
We can laugh at it, but the following is an example of how dangerous politics can be once the public is incited.Donald is getting scarier with each 'victory' - I reckon they need to make sure he gets an orange jumpsuit to match his complexion.......
Apparently in the recent Iowa nominations Trump lost in one region and he's taken offence at it with quiet rumours of retribution to the voters of that region, and in the interim Trump's supporters are already claiming the result against him in that region was due to election tampering.
So if that's how they behave in a trivial pre-selection, bullying voters, what's going to happen in the real deal?
I've personally very little interest in either Democrat or Republican, but I've just watched a great series on the World War II from the Frontlines and the types of fanaticism back then draw an uncomfortable parallel to the current global political climate abroad and at home.
Don't mention the war(assassination).Agree completely - the GOP have a lot to answer for, standing idly by while this guy trashes democracy. And if he does win, heaven help those on the other side of the fence......
Today, if you ever needed to know why the Orang and his team are dangerous, it should now be beyond doubt, this is basically the same style of vitriol that lead to the capitol riots in the first place.
In my opinion it's unequivocal proof this guy is prepared to burn down the house to get his way, they should rename him Nero!
Why the feck would anyone want to go into politics with this bloke stoking the fires, the extreme left and extreme right will meet in the chaotic middle and nobody will be safe!
Check out the final Beatles video clip, done by Peter Jackson with a lot of AI.... so good....The song is pretty good, but the film clip is fantastic. Peter Jackson , take a bow....

Watch it through to the end.....
I'm more familiar with the NSW system but with State run schools it would have little to do with being tied to funding levels and more to do with curriculum requirements.I work in Healthcare, and the cultural connection is everywhere. And without trying to sound sanctimonious, it has given me a very different and positive appreciation of indigenous culture.
Indigenous perspectives would carry across all areas of the school curriculum.
The extent to which a school is 'decorated', the involvement of outside speakers, performers, elder speakers and additional indigenous teacher's aides would be determined by the Principal, teachers and school community.
They would certainly need to demonstrate that these areas are being covered, but it wouldn't affect their funding.
In my time, schools were given a set budget, but there was also extra money assigned that was to be used on designated targeted areas. Aboriginal education was one such area, but how we used that money was pretty much up to us....artists, performers, speakers etc. If we needed a bit of extra cash for things like NAIDOC week we could use some of the global budget.
Next time you're around a kid's or grandkid's schools have a look The cultural influences are genuine and part of the educational process for indigenous and non-indigenous students as well.
Do we not celebrate indigenous culture though?
I walk through the gate of my grandson's school here in 'redneck' Queensland and the indigenous symbolism is prominent from the entrance all the way down to the classrooms. Posters, playground art, even some of the designs on classrooms. Enter the rooms and you don't have to look far to see more examples. Throughout the year there have been a couple of cultural performances.
Maybe it's a generational thing from this point.
Maybe it's these kids who will live in a country where race isn't a point of difference in terms of opportunity and living standards , but where they can still appreciate the culture of first Australians.
They're not mutually exclusiveDo we not celebrate indigenous culture though?Maybe it's what the school is expected to do in order to retain their funding levels.....
