Queensland narrowly lost the ARL (Australian Rugby League) grand final. The scores were locked at 16 all at full time. Queensland had a kick, and narrowly missed as the ball hit one of the goal bars, putting the game into golden point extra time. Queensland kicked off to Queensland, and a Queenslander dropped the ball and knocked on in from of goal. A scrum did not lead to an immediate score, but a few tackles later, Queensland kicked a goal and won the golden point and the match. But really, a Queensland win was inevitable. For the record, the Cowboys defeated Brisbane. Wayne Bennett's sole grand final loss of his career. Queensland should feel a little frustrated, and proud.
Meanwhile, the Liberal's new leader, Malcolm Turnbull's pulling the party to the left has claimed a gaff from ALP Leader Shorten. While it is true that no conservative can ever lean far enough left to get votes from lefties, that is not what has happened. A good family man was senselessly gunned down by a fifteen year old terrorist the other day. Mr Abbott had previously said that the Islamic community needed close ranks and shun those who bring Islam into disrepute. But the press felt that such opinions were extreme right wing. Malcolm Turnbull has instead said that the Islamic community needs to advise him how Australia can change to make them more comfortable and not send their young to kill randomly. This seems to have scared Shorten, who relies on the small but uniform support of Islamic peoples who like to be exploited by cynical politicians. Shorten went to the left and ignored the victim to empathise with the terrorist's family, some of whom probably were responsible for radicalising the idiot and giving him a gun. Turnbull's lurch to the left has paid off for now.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
