Thats pretty disingenuous, he was completely right, if the NRL wanted to stick it into RU, they would've given a license to perth 5 years ago, when the force was on its knees, its obvious the league wasn't financially ready to do anything.. and are slowly building assets and streamlining processes to keep cost down, where they were an absolte shambles way back when..
Now as a league are probably ready to expand and grow... going after rival codes isn't smart, not when they share the same type of game like ru/stadia, yes we want a dent, or make inroads, but to cut out a rival like RU, will just leave a whole that might get filled by AFL, we would need to get a team in perth, then hopefully keep it stable and successful, cant do that whilst having one armed tied behind your back, its a smart play to sort out all the financial issues with the league and streamline the business costs, before jumping into foreign territory
Australian union hasn’t been a threat to league for almost 20 years

it’s beneath us

the goal should be nz now that’s within our reach

Well, one can be wokey, but if so, accept that someone has a different view of the world and that doesn’t mean they are bad people.

I like to think I am at the extreme centre!

But I’m not having poor people or pensioners dying of dehydration and heatstroke in the Australian summer and if we need to build a couple of mega sized coal fired power stations to save their lives so be it.

And don’t get me started on government waste!

As a lefty, we could do more about wealth distribution and be more careful about residential planning.

It depends on the issue I suppose.
Yes Comrade that is a must do thing. " we could do more about wealth distribution "

As Comrade Marx said

The bourgeoisie or capitalists are the owners of capital, purchasing and exploiting labour power, using the surplus value from employment of this labour power to accumulate or expand their capital"

Marx condemned capitalism as a system that alienates the masses. His reasoning was as follows: although workers produce things for the market, market forces, not workers, control things. People are required to work for capitalists who have full control over the means of production and maintain power in the workplace.

Yes, he provided a pretty accurate portrayal of how capitalist economy is organised. No argument from me.

We should see a return to widespread social unrest and discord in the coming depression.

Crime stats are just starting to rise after a long time at low levels.

People might revisit classical Marxism as they will be looking for explanations as to why their resources are evaporating.

Third wave Feminism and corporate greenwashing….isn’t going to put food on the table.

The iPhone etc, capitalism in your hands.

YouTube is barely watchable for boring adds these days.

Chomsky selling stockbrokers!
