Excellent from Rowan Callick in @australian on the 12 point plan for a post-annexation Taiwan from the group of scholars in HK, a plan that would destroy Taiwanese society.

📺WATCH: AFL Tasmania has obliterated what it describes as an ambitious target to have 28,000 participants by 2028.
The organisation has reached the mark 2 years earlier than expected and is now eyeing the title of most registered players per capita in the country.

Yep, in The Club, Collingwood won the 1980 VFL Grand Final with a win over Fitzroy.
The footage used was from the 1979 First Semi Final and which Collingwood defeated Fitzroy by 22pts.

A Pacific franchise spanning five nations will lodge a bid to become the NRL’s 20th franchise - becoming the first NRL club to play home games in the United States, Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.
Known as Mana Pasifika, the team would be based in Auckland and play NRL home matches in Christchurch, Dunedin, Wellington, Hamilton and Whangarei before taking two games a year to Pacific nations.

Mark Viduka's first footy love was Collingwood and he's a massive Pies fan. Eddie McGuire (a big Viduka fan) used to send match tapes at Viduka's request to Dukes when he played in England. Viduka once had a training run at Vic Park, where he met his childhood idol, Peter Daicos.

The Beatles - Day Tripper. This song was released with "We Can Work It Out" as a double A-side on 3 December 1965. It was #1 at Christmas 1965 and was the 7th best selling single of the entire 1960s! This has my vote for coolest/grooviest riff of all time!

Another great rendition of the National Anthem at the World Series tonight!
And unlike the the American hating lesbians in the WNBA and LeBron James, the Major league Baseball players all stood still and gave respect to our Nation Anthem! 🇺🇸

Your country might be great but does it follow Australia’s lead by colour-coordinating its currency with the nation’s favourite snack foods?

24 October 1975. Last episode of the stop-motion animated TV series, The Wombles, was broadcast on BBC1. The Wombles live under Wimbledon Common collecting and recycling rubbish. The series ran for 60 episodes.

SIR JOHN MONASH: A PROUD JEW. A GREAT AUSTRALIAN
How many Australians know that Sir John Monash was one of the greatest military commanders of World War I ?
A brilliant strategist, Monash commanded the Australian Corps on the Western Front, pioneering tactics that combined infantry, artillery, tanks & aircraft
At the Battle of Hamel in 1918, his meticulously planned offensive achieved its objectives in just 93 minutes
His guiding principle was to achieve military victory while minimising the loss of Australian lives
But how many Australians also know that Monash was:
1/ The founding honorary president of the Zionist Federation of Australia
2/ A principal organiser of ANZAC Day commemorations
3/ A passionate advocate for building Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance
In 1931, an estimated 300,000 Australians honoured him at his State Funeral
He was a decorated soldier, visionary leader, proud Jew & committed Zionist whose service helped shape modern Australia
Sir John Monash demonstrated that Jewish identity, Zionism & Australian patriotism are not competing loyalties
His legacy is a reminder that Jewish Australians have helped build, defend & shape this great nation
Proud Jews. Loyal Australians.

Sam Konstas with a century at the WACA, following on from his first innings 71. Showed promising signs in India recently too.
