it's a double poll night in South Australia. YouGov is reporting figures that are still diabolical for the Liberals (and great for One Nation), but less diabolical than Newspoll:
Labor 37%
One Nation 22%
Liberal 20%
Greens 13%
Others 8%

Why is someone starting to use a hammer drill at after 9pm at night. I don't get it. If one used it between 7pm and 9pm, yeah ok that is fine, no problem. It just seems a rather odd time to start work by hammering into concrete from now. There is always weekend around the corner

I mean the answer is pretty obvious - Cricket Australia and most of the Australian cricket team don't care about it and so the team was barely a Big Bash All Stars
For the first time since 2009, Australia won't advance from the group stage of a cricket World Cup and some of the game's greatest ever players are demanding answers.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reports that Russia offered the US a $12 trillion deal for sanctions relief
In reality, even under optimistic assumptions, Russian revenue could yield only about $340 billion per year, far below the promised sum euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/18/u...

Ukraine in exchange for money: US-Russia deal revenues could reach only $340 billion, far short of claimed $12 trillion
Even with sanctions lifted, assessments show Russian income streams would be unstable and insufficient to meet Kremlin claims.

I only stepped out for a quarter an hour to go to the post office(I was away 15 minutes, maybe I should have left the service on. It took me another 20 minutes to get the thing to connect. 🙄🤦♂️
