Channel 7, Channel 9 and channel Ten are the main commercial TV stations over here. They really are just channels that show adverts with a smattering of shite programs where people shout at each other a lot. I would not trust any of these channels news broadcasts to even get what day it was right. The only stations that I trust in anyway are the ABC and SBS. The ABC is the Australian BBC (but not as shite) and SBS is a channel that is very diverse. The ABC has a history of being a touch to the left. I watch the ABC news for what's going on in Queensland/Australia and the SBS news for what is going on in the world. The Australian Sky News has actually been banned from YouTube for a week after they were found to be spreading misinformation about Covid and the vaccines. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/aug/04/sky-news-australia-purges-several-videos-from-youtube-after-ban-over-covid-misinformation Sky News Australia is just a channel of far right nutjobs who are watch by people who are just as bad as the presenters.

Even my wife (who is Australian) can't watch it anymore. The thing I used to like about the Olympics was it was a whole world thing (most of the time...) not just Australia. And the commentators on Channel 7 are dire.

I used to enjoy the Olympics but the TV coverage here is so one-eyed. Aye, of course the commentators should be all for Australia but I think they forget that there are other countries there as well.

They even had a protest march here in Mackay. ?

I have to say that the Queensland premier has been really good. She's not been scared to put the state into lock down and we have had (so far...) low numbers of infection. Dan Andrews in Victoria has done well considering he was really unwell for a while. I would like to see him as PM one day.

HaarDon and Manic have pretty much nailed it on the head. I think a lot of Australians have had the mind set that what has happened in the UK could never happen here. But with this new Delta variant now spreading around the southern states I think many here will be in for a big shock.

For some reason I think we will win 2-1 in Gothenburg...

Only 15% of Australians now had their second jag...

Best I can find at the mo.

How did Hedges play?

Holy shit! I just got up and saw the score! Was not expecting that!

They're going to win this, aren't they...

I just saw on the TV that only 8% of Australians have had both jags. Australia has done well in keeping the virus out as there have only been 30,000 cases and 910 deaths. But with the Delta variant hitting the shores here now and such a low vaccination rate I can see big problems happening here soon.

I got my second jag yesterday. Feeling a bit shitty today, but I hear that happens with the Pfizer one on the second jag.

I noticed that the Russian shirt has the same collar and cuffs as our shirt from last year.
