Tokyo. Excellent as always.

If every single time somebody calls you are playing the “we are currently experiencing high call volumes” then I’d suggest that’s normal call volumes and maybe you need more people.

Pilots are working for their money coming into Sydney this morning. Gusting 44kts. Nice views on final though.

They should play the grand final in Sydney. Or Brisbane. It’s only right. #AFLGF

Great! Tell me again how hard it is for people to get up early to watch. #tryaseasonfromAustralia #crymeariver

The amount of money the Liberals are spending in Bennelong is…. Well it’s a lot. So many coreflutes. So much direct mail. I thought they might have stopped after their candidate kept appearing in the SMH and not in a good way, but nope.

What would be helpful from the travelling press pack is a list of electorates the leaders visited in the last 3 days of campaigning. What they say now is far less interesting now where they go. Would give us a “seats to watch” list.

And done. Mercifully no queue.

Hey Sky Sports F1. Can we have less Nico? Maybe zero? That would be great, thanks.

One step forward. One step back.

Just for the record - Australia has mail in ballots (called postal voting here.) And our elections are pretty free and fair. Not sure where anyone would have gotten a different idea. aec.gov.au/faqs/postal-vo…

Brisbane takes the mantle, if it was ever in doubt, as Australia’s sporting capital.

Well that’s one way to flog your book/doco I guess.

I’m sorry everybody. There will be no new content ever. Apparently anything people would want to watch already exists.

Why is Australia on it? We don’t require ID to vote. How many more are incorrect I wonder?

Simpler times.

So…. 194km of rail. Six stations. About 6.5m people. Tokyo - Nagoya. 341km. 12 stations, but only 4 that the fastest train stops at. About 43m people. Huge ridership. And the Shinkansen is expensive to ride. Making it stack up will be, um, challenging.

Surely “debt petrol on inflation fire” can’t have tested well.
