For a former Federal MP, John Alexander really is clueless about the outside world. ‘Ban betting’ - might as well try unbolting the Harbour Bridge solo. (Last 5mins) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Tristan schooled, Daniil downed and Collins' crowd-funded holiday - ABC listen
A young Aussie gains new fans in defeat, Daniil Medvedev is beaten at his own five set game and the Australian crowds draw the ire of Danielle Collins.

Ah, lazy sports media roll out an old story because it's tennis time in Melbourne.

Holding Labour accountable is reasonable but that’s NOT what is happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK government, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.

There's plenty of common sense here - so expect it to be completely ignored by the BHA.
In Aus, we had a major meeting moved with 24hrs notice and another brought forward several hrs due to extreme heat. Be flexible!
