Check this page out. So heartbreaking.


Dozens of desperate pleas for help in Lismore. People not only trapped on roofs, but inside roofs, and worse still, elderly people who can't even get into or onto roofs with water up to their chests.
I don't see this ending well.

Pretty serious, I don’t care less about property, but as people know I’m not big on loss of human and animal life.

I’ve been in floods, but only the town cut off, not this kind of horror.

Given the seriousness,Gronky, every nrl player should be deployed to help raise recovery funds at some point this season.

Scomo warns heading to the Ukraine to fight may be illegal.

The ukkies have called for unpaid mercenaries.

It could turn into a isis situation, anyone bored at home could fly into a neighbouring country cross over and fight.

Once again, we haven’t seen the ruskies deploy anywhere near their full non nuclear arsenal.

Most of the strikes are surgical.

Here is another deep dive into Russia / Putin.

Based on what he wrote I’d suggest it’s not very good help.

Obviously zoomed in the Panthers Public Relations department. Better off with straight Russian that no one can understand.

The war is being broadcast at work for anyone interested.

The bosses are a thoughtful lot.

Russian citizens are finding out the hard way how nationalism and isolationism ain't what it used to be.


I hazard a guess that the increasing discomfort of the Russian people might be more problematic for him as time goes on.

All that said, he needs a way out to save face etc as he can’t be seen to be weak.

Some kind of guarantee of ukkie neutrality etc short term.

Stop the civvies being maimed and killed.

Pretty amazing that anyone in the world who wants to -can sign up with your local ukkie embassy, jump on a flight etc, get issued with a gun and dive straight into the combat melee.

Scomo promises $50m military support.

He shouldn’t be broadcasting this sensitive stuff and making us a target.

Former top us official raises the difficulty of transporting arms into ukkie land.

I’ve said it previously, the ruskies have the most terrifying non nuclear bombs in the world.

It’s up there in strength with nuclear weapons but without the filthy radiation.

I support an immediate ceasefire and for both parties to meet somewhere in the middle for the time being under my “Putin will not tolerate looking like a loser” policy.

We are better off sending an extra $50m to help civilians and in humanitarian and get the innocent out of the combat zones.

All the tit for tat makes peace harder.
