With the Independent Commission in the National Rugby League set to be rolled out this November, there are now fears that that Independent Commission may not eventuate. For fans this may not have a major impact, however for those involved in the game, an Independent Commission is generally thought to be a positive step for the game. Fans however should be worried, with all sixteen of the NRL clubs threatening to break away from the NRL and form their own competition if News Limited and the ARL do not meet the demands of the NRL clubs. For those with short memories, the NRL was formed to unite the clubs after the Super-League war between ARL and News Limited. The difference this time? All sixteen clubs are threatening to form one competition instead of the two competitions which divided the fans and players in 1997. If the NRL is truly concerned about winning the territory war, they need to ensure that they can all work together to achieve what is best for the game.
It's official, the Carbon Tax has been passed through the Lower House, with Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd even sharing a kiss to celebrate. Whether the kiss was for show or not, one thing is for certain, tonight many Labor voting Australians will be sitting in their lounge rooms disappointed by the fact that they voted the Gillard Government into power on the back of a lie, regardless of whether they support the Carbon Tax.
While Campbell Newman likes to think the only mud slinging he has done was during the 2011 Floods, the Liberal Nationals are getting down and dirty, with it revealed they paid for a dossier of pros, cons and dirty secrets to be produced about the Labor Government. Newman is standing behind the staffers responsible, and has asked the Courier Mail not to publish the file, however it is set to go ahead in tomorrow's paper. This well and truly sets the tone for the next state election campaign.
