Tsitsipas will receive the louder support for most of the match.
If Novak finds himself in a dominant position towards the end, they’ll rally behind him hard.

As local government, she has to accept an appropriate amount of responsibilty as the escalation in crime occured under her watch.
She notably spent a lot of time and energy with her contributions to the Advance Australia, IPA, and Sky News during those years.
To her credit, she has been vocal about issues on the ground, but accountability applies to everyone. I remember her press conferences with Dutton in NT, talking about alcohol and crime issues in Alice Spring whilst wearing Great Northern Beer merchandise. Bad look.

I think tonight we'll see Tsitsipas match Novak in regards to fitness and skillset execution. And he'll suprise us with mental fortitude that Next Gen have often lacked.
But Novak will show us again why he's an elite tactician.

MURPHY: The lessons from the republic, marriage equality and climate fights? Don’t get bogged down in detail, Indigenous Australians have to lead and avoid partisan biffo.
...
But the thing I’ve learned about Albanese is he doesn’t mind hanging back, letting things run, watching the direction of travel, even if that habit means that he presents periodically as a beat or two behind. What he gains from his observation point is often worth the messier moments this ingrained habit can confer.
There seems to be a contradiction at the core of the "No" Campaign.
"We need more details" = Despite the Voice Referendum not being held for another nine odd months, apparently the public want all the details right now. More so, apparently they are Constituional scholars who are having daily academic conversations about the impacts of changing the Constitution.
"No one is going to read a 200 page report" = So simultaenously the public aren't going to spent any time or energy over the next 9 nine odd months to read details on a once in a generation Referendum. The public are apparently not clamouring for details, or any education on the Voice Referendum.
The "No" Campaign needs to make up its mind. I'm not buying it.

I mostly agree, especially with the transition during the Howard era.
But one portion of a base is still a signficiant portion. Since 2013, the LNP have lost 10% of their PV and 11 former very safe seats.
And there was no bait and switch with the Teals. It just revealed calling a 60% 2PP seat as blue-ribbon was hubris, because a 10% swing is very achievable. It reminded parties that 40% of the electorate still didn't vote for the winning candidate.

Liberals used to hold most of the top 15 most wealthy Federal seats in the country.
Prior to the 2022 Federal Election, a significant portion of the Liberal base used to be wealthy fiscally conservative, socially progressive voters.

I think Ardeet touching on Australians who immigrated here over the past three decades celebrating Australia Day as their new home will be the key in Australia Day being moved to another date.
As Noel Pearson has previously stated, Australia is an indissoluble commonwealth of three great parts -
Jan 26 makes sense as the day to remember our colonial history and Australia Day marked on another day to appreciate the above three parts that has shaped modern Australia. I think we're now mature enough as a nation to have two public holidays, and apply the appropriate sentiment to each day respectively.

Would it be safe to say those people are able to separate their personal religious beliefs and their academic work?
I attended a religious high school and loved the experience, but the religious aspects were very separate from the learning. They never overlapped.

Don't forget all of these lucrative ESOL/EFL businesses that rely on International students.
Their whole business model is built on helping them secure a pathway to PR. The English teaching element is just for show.

JP pre-2016, sure, a relatively normal clinical psychologist with conventional conservative views.
JP post-2016, he's gone full scam artist, milking that right-wing nutjob/MAGA niche for every dollar they'll throw at him.

In team sports we see the "playmakers" control game management.
We saw in the first set how Novak managed the set to suit how he wanted the rest of the match to unfold.

Novak is not pleased
