It is only recently that some media organisations finally decided enough was enough and started calling out Trump’s lies, realising just how dangerous they were. Something that might have been a hell of a lot [...] Read More...It is not Marina, it is you!

Prior to the Marina Go interview I ‘thought’ the powers that be in Super Netball really didn’t give a rats about fans but bloody hell, after this interview I ‘knew’ they didn’t! In fact, rather wished [...] Read More...When people are scared and anxious, information is more important than scoop!

31 Mar2020
I am really happy that the government has finally done something more than just bail out Qantas, and I hope this JobKeeper will actually help many employees who have been sacked or are in terror of losing their [...] Read More...Give yourself the gift of 'doing a Morrison' for Christmas

Aloha!
The last 4am brain dump straight to keyboard rant for the year for me. Reflections of the year, lovely feel-good Christmas spirit type pieces seem to be the go, so I thought, hell, yeah! I can do a [...] Read More...Never too old to learn a new sport, even as a spectator 😉
