Brisbane Broncos break 19-year NRL premiership drought in grand final thriller against Melbourne Storm
Brisbane Broncos break 19-year NRL premiership drought in grand final thriller against Melbourne Storm
* Brisbane beat Melbourne 26-22 in decider at Accor Stadium * Reece Walsh wins Clive Churchill medal for player of the match The new face of rugby league Reece Walsh propelled the Brisbane Broncos to an unlikely premiership on Sunday in Sydney, helping engineer another double-digit comeback in one of the great individual grand final performances that rendered the Melbourne Storm helpless in a 26-22 boilover. The fullback contributed a try, three try assists, three try-savers – including one in the final minute – and a relentless swagger on the night he ascended to the summit of the game. The Broncos lost two key playmakers to injury in the second half, but it did not matter, as Walsh and the desperate, committed defence of his teammates secured his club’s first premiership in 19 years.

Footnotes refer to the data being “Engineering work done for the public section” and the source as ABS via The Australia Institute.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australia Liberal Party Lies". This is #3. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: "Labor has lost control of immigration!" The Facts section says: "Pandemic caused a crash, then a spike. Migration level is back to normal." A chart shows half-yearly non-citizen net migration as a percentage of population, with the coalition governments' periods in blue and Labor governments' in red, as well as a 5-year annual average as a dashed yellow line. From about 2009 onwards, the migration level is relatively constant across both Labor and Liberal governments at half a percent per half year. During 2020 and 2021, this crashes to a net of roughly zero migration. From 2022 onwards, half-yearly migration spikes to as high as 1.1%, before dropping for two quarters to 0.8% in 2024 H1. The five year annual average dips significantly in the first years of the pandemic, but has now returned to its long-term average of around 1%. A bracket highlights the extra migration in 2022-24 and annotates it with "Flight delayed 2 years!" A footnote refers to the ABS as the source of data.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Liberal Lies". This is #2. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: "No nuclear power means Australia is lagging behind!" The Facts section says: "Half the OECD don't have nuclear power" above 20 red crosses, and examples of Austria, Germany, Colombia, and Italy. It then says "Most of the other half have reduced it this century", above 10 red down arrows, 4 grey hyphens, and 3 blue up arrows, and examples of Canada, Japan, Sweden, and United Kingdom. A footnote refers to the World Nuclear Association as the source of the data. Another footnote says that 80% of the world's countries don't have nuclear power.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #6. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: “Renewables are driving up power bills”. The Facts section says: “Coal and gas prices have DOUBLED, which pushed up wholesale and then retail electricity prices”. A series of small bar charts illustrate changes in relevant data between 2020/21 and 2022/23/24, showing coal prices increasing 135%, gas prices 112%, wholesale electricity prices 104%, and the percentage of renewables having increased 30%. Retail prices are shown in a larger chart to have increased 24% from 2020/21/22 to 2023/24. An arrow links wholesale prices to retail prices with the label “Lag”. Footnotes refer to the sources of the data as AER, ABS, Open Electricity, YCharts and OFX. The graphic is licensed as Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives.
