HBG would never have gained the dominant shareholder and financial position it holds today if it weren’t for the mismanagement of Kristina Keneally and the Labor Government in 2010. The old Balmain Leagues Club was forced to close in 2010 to make way for a proposed metro station, a project that...

HBG don’t directly own the Wests Tigers, they control the club through a 90% shareholding held by Wests Magpies Pty Ltd. Balmain owns the other 10%. The real issue is HBG itself. 20 debenture holders control 5 of the 7 HBG board seats, giving a very small group disproportionate power. General...

This has been said before, but I'm going to say it again - the debenture holder system at HBG is “archaic,” “undemocratic,” and unfit for a modern professional sports club. It gives disproportionate power to a small, often unaccountable group. This structural problem explains why HBG repeatedly...

This is what I found - "The Balmain Leagues Club is owned outright by the Balmain Tigers Football Club. However, the site of the former Balmain Leagues Club has been acquired by PERIFA, a Sydney-based property developer, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA), who now own the land for...

HBG continues to break their own rules to save their own skin. The quickly developing Rozelle Village and Balmain Leagues Club site has to feel like a major threat for HBG, hence this new rumble and the rash decisions. Our family went down to Ashfield for the Tigers v Warriors game in Round 21...

I ran it through https://www.topazlabs.com/ and then recoloured and retouched your photo in photoshop. The type was a problem, so I had to recreate that

Hey mate, I couldn't help but retouch your school photo and bring to back to life.

Age is the greatest teacher if you’re willing to grow and listen. I don’t believe in a black sheep, everyone’s thoughts should be heard.

I’m with you, mate. There isn’t a single answer that resolves all the challenges needed to take inequality through to complete parity. @BZN has done a great job promoting this discussion.

I love The Twits, great book. I always thought it was about the Twits own contempt for each other, which often occurs as a couple ages, especially in their twilight years. However, I read an article that said Roald Dahl’s inspiration was men who could or did grow beards, whom he believed were...

Roald Dahl was an exceptional author who had a huge influence on mine and many childhoods. If you have one of his rarer first or even second edition books, it could be worth between $24-36k AUD. Check your garage, attic or those old boxes, it could be a goldmine.

Absolutely!

You've misunderstood his philosophy. Singer’s work focuses on global inequality, our responsibilities toward others, and the challenge of balancing human needs and wants without destroying the environment we all depend on.

If anyone is really interested in the topic of inequality, I suggest reading the work of a modern day Australian philosopher who will go down in history as a thought provocateur. https://www.petersinger.info/

It will, we can already see it in manufacturing and transport.

Deep topic, but I'll throw my hat in. AI is changing the game. Jobs that were once a rite of passage, like working at Maccas, stocking shelves at Woolies or getting an internship after Uni will be pretty much gone by 2035. The goal appears to be a society where people are placed into jobs...

When the power grid goes down and there's poor redundancy, the telecommunications network follows shortly after

I don’t understand why other Euro nations aren't in the RL World Cup. Most rate higher than Lebanon. They could have evened up the pools, and created some real northern-hemisphere rivalry. https://www.intrl.sport/world-rankings

I agree in some regards, we won't come 14th or 13th next year. I think we will climb a few rungs; 10th would be a good improvement. I just think we're a second row star away from making the 8. Who knows, maybe Geyer could be that diamond in the rough.
