Too late for that. The CCP, via a company called Landbridge, won a 99-year lease for the Port of Darwin in 2015. Ye Cheng, the CEO, became a member of China’s CCP in 2013, and the Chinese government had previously recognised him for contributions relating to national defence. Our politicians...

I hope you gets well soon. I loved his work in Housos

In the end, I don’t have a problem with a PNG side. However, I do have a problem with the tax free incentive and us footing the bill. This tax free clause will affect a lot of teams. It’s already affected ours, with Luai jumping ship.

While $600m is peanuts when it comes to upgrading, building, or purchasing modern, battlefield-ready hardware and systems, what that $600m can do over that time is train and strengthen our current personnel, as well as attract new recruits, in what is a new, modern age of warfare due to drones...

If we lose this game and the Broncos win, we'll finish in 15th spot based on points differential. ... one step forward, two steps back.

I don't bet, and I'm not playing fantasy this year, but for anyone who is, here's Mike Clay's (ESPN) projections for this season. They're based on a mixture of statistical calculations and probability. He's usually pretty close -...

After Annesley and his Monday referee debrief was canned, the integrity of the referees and the bunker has lost all accountability. Abdo and PVL didn’t want to be scrutinised for mediocrity and possible corruption, so Annesley got the chop. I’m still shaking my head at how Ashley Klein still...

Another big win for the Bengals against a very good Eagles side in pre-season. -

I love the typography and signage of the past. There was a time when design was made to excite, not simply to fit a screen.

I think it's more complicated than that. We are building and establishing a safe living environment for players in what is essentially a compound, and we're helping to build their grassroots systems. However, that coin does not include the tax free incentives that players get. This also does...

Maybe, however, that's not as I understand it. There are over 20 communist state run companies operating in PNG that have put it in a debt trap, and ASIO is worried. These no interest loans have happened throughout Southeast Asia, Africa and the South Pacific. The last three governments failed...

This money should be spent bolstering our armed forces and securing our borders. Once we’ve done that, we can help secure and invest further in PNG. In saying that, any support we can provide to help them improve their communities, whether that’s doctors, teachers, scientists or engineers...

This is also on top of the $800m that we already assist PNG every year for infrastructure, education and health services. Unfortunately there have been cases of embezzlement with the funds that we've provided by their officials.

Funded by Australia and our tax dollars.
