Whether it was there or not according to the rules, what gets me is that something so pivotal – a) a penalty shot in a match in which one goal is about the average any team scores; and b) to be forced to play a man down on the field in a sport where only eleven players are on the pitch at a given time – can be decided on the basis of such a line-ball referee decision. Perhaps I watch soccer less than some of you guys, but watching the video I'm flabbergasted as to how anyone could think that handball was deliberate.

In the AFL there can be contentious umpiring decisions, even game-deciding ones, but they're nowhere near as magnified as they are in soccer. I think this kind of thing would do my head in if I followed the sport!

The vision coming out of New York. The flooded subway looks like that tour ride at universal studios, just crazy, a top photographer I follow posted a pic of cars that fell into a broken road pit. It looks like any of a million disaster movies, I have to ask, what next?

The Australian government has approved the Identify and Disrupt Bill 2021, which has been labelled 'unprecedented' and 'extraordinarily intrusive'.

The legislation gives Australian Federal Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission new powers to take control of people's social media accounts without the need for a judge's warrant.

They will be able to modify or delete the data of suspected offenders, collect intelligence on criminal networks, and take control of a suspected offenders' online account.

Unfortunately they need every tool in the box when going after terrorists and pedos. When they caught an Adelaide Pedo who was administrator of a child porn site called the love zone they tracked him by scouring forums and found him also ona 4WD site and got a photo of his car and tracked the number plate. The federal coppers got a warrant and arrested him and he was logged on to his his jiddy porn porn site so the police made a decision not to shut it it down but used it to track, worldwide, other mongrels and 100s if not thosands were caught worlldwide. So it has already happened. They are not going after you for having an affair with the bosses wife.

WTF is wrong with people...

Sloane Stephens sent over 2,000 ‘horrific’ messages after US Open loss

https://www.foxsports.com.au/tennis/us-open-2021-sloane-stephens-abusive-messages-naomi-osaka-angelique-kerber-reaction-tennis-news/news-story/c6ac8c5d0148a7cbd7f67b688c73f657

Seriously some people are pathetic.
Same with those who sent vile messages to Toby Greene (AFL) and Latrell Mitchell (NRL) (and to family members) after their respective match incidents and subsequent bans. I am not a big fan of either player but nobody deserves that sort of crap.

Police have been successfully conducting operations like that for decades – so the question is, why are these unprecedented new powers necessary? They wheel out terrorists and child pornographers to justify these expansions every single time, but, like clockwork, these laws end up being used against whistleblowers, political activists and ordinary members of the public. You’d have to be very gullible to think that that won’t happen here.

The only question I have for people who share RR’s view is this: how far is too far? At what point between now and full surveillance (e.g. CCTV on every street corner and in every home, or whatever it is a dystopian surveillance state means to you) do you say that enough’s enough? If there is any line at all for you, then all I’ll say is you’d better be prepared to defend it, because I don’t see any reason to think the goalposts won’t keep shifting.

Agreed,DB. WTF is wrong with those people, threatening to break the legs of an athlete who just lost is bizzare and fkn wrong.

Anyway, my WTF is much more local and less important. Yesterday arvo I was bored so I went to Costco. Driving down Childs Rd Epping there was a massive queue of cars to go the the 4cyte Pathology Covid testing site. That was the place I got tested when I came back to Vic on News Years day after the numbnuts here slammed the border shut and the state run covid testing joints were beseiged.

But now, the state run places are quiet as. It's quick and easy to get tested, I smell a rat. maybe a couple of them.

Rat 1, if you get tested at a state run site, the government knows your result. If you get tested at a private pathology place, the result goes to the GP who referred you. I don't know if there's mandatory reporting requirements or not, but it's the only reason I can think why people wpuld spend hours queued up to get tested at a private place when they could be in and out in 15 minutes at a government run one.

Rat 2, there's clearly money to be made in Covid testing. 4Cyte has opened a new drivethrough site near here in what was a car yard. They'll get to bill the Federal Government under Medicare for each test done and, since you need a GP referral to get any test at a pathology joint, if you don't have one they'll arrange that too according to their website, and bill the government for that too.
