WELL it was good while it lasted. The Matildas were a fantastic breath of fresh air, a brief antidote to the misery of living in a swamp, and yet, they probably ended up where they deserved.
Now that the fun is over, every time I turn around there’s another commentator posing a question about women’s sport and funding and pay (agree, but it’s complicated) and now a push for a statue out the front of Suncorp Stadium. Let’s just take a moment and run this up the flag pole – are there enough women, both athletes and committed fans, to sustain the desired and sustainable growth across any code?
I’m sure you’re right.
Easy to reconcile
Still on the subject of the World Cup and the advertising seemed pretty effective.
I can imagine there will now be thousands of young girls demanding their parents get them a Xero subscription.
I for one have an unnatural desire to buy accounting software.
At least we can go back to calling Brisbane Stadium, Suncorp again. Mmmm, now I want a mortgage.
Spare the pity
Just on mortgages, can all Greens politicians just get one and then shut up. Following one on Facebook and the shameful politicking of a bloke earning over $220,000 a year and trying to be a man of the people is laughable.
Anyone earning that much should be required to get a loan and get out of the rental market to free up houses for those that really need one.
One big stink
This won’t come as anything new to Landsborough residents, but what is the EPA doing about the horrific smell coming out of the town. I crawl in there regularly for a pie and chips but the rendering plant makes it a particularly unpalatable experience.
