Pay TV are happy because it looks like they’ll get 4 AFL games and possibly 5 NRL games a week. The AFL and NRL are happy because they don’t need to just sell to the Free-to-Air stations, and thus can get a nice big broadcasting deal.rashid1891http://www.livetv.pknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-83298393982787996682010-11-27T08:44:42.436+11:002010-11-27T08:44:42.436+11:00@Greg Jericho: I suppose that is one interpretatio...@Greg Jericho: I suppose that is one interpretation (at a stretch), although I took it to mean, and I have heard the euphemism used for this before by a number of other people, "all a bit average" or "a bit of a mess".<br /><br />When explained to them the original (and correct) usage, they've been horrified and said, "oh no, that's not what I meant at all".<br /><br />Sadly the use of language has degenerated (it doesn't help when those in the public eye use "back-flip" when what they actually mean is "about face") and, one would think, the likes of Annabel Crabb, being, I assume (possibly incorrectly), a properly educated person, able to use the language to communicate her ideas and thoughts unambiguously. Correct usage of the vernacular, most definitely falls into that remit.<br /><br />But, hey, great first step for the passing of the bill to finally dismember the Telstra octopus and hopefully allow some movement towards the NBN becoming a fait accompli to the benefit of all.NucMednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-17638846904808822542010-11-26T21:33:52.409+11:002010-11-26T21:33:52.409+11:00jreidy - I do know Sarah Hansen-Young was one of t...jreidy - I do know Sarah Hansen-Young was one of the pairs.Greg Jerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956402439870441083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-45936110270053496772010-11-26T21:33:12.685+11:002010-11-26T21:33:12.685+11:00NucMed I took it as Annabel writing in a very nice...NucMed I took it as Annabel writing in a very nice way: "This is all a bit f**ked"Greg Jerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956402439870441083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-40955396405029711432010-11-26T13:15:12.164+11:002010-11-26T13:15:12.164+11:00The NBN bill has just passed the senate (Fri 26/11...The NBN bill has just passed the senate (Fri 26/11) at around 1pm.<br />The vote was 30 to 28 - so I guess there was some pairing.<br />I hope all of the coalition senators who were delaying the vote were present and didn't skip off early.John Reidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488071052191988158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-31617410617066513132010-11-26T10:59:17.480+11:002010-11-26T10:59:17.480+11:00@codeka Hell, that's another dictat I will nee...@codeka Hell, that's another dictat I will need to put in place when I become king of the world, all will watch QT, along with my primary dictat, conscription of all school-leavers to work for twelve months in a major inner-city hospital casualty department.<br /><br />That should sort them out ...NucMednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-48733664220529857202010-11-26T10:01:00.070+11:002010-11-26T10:01:00.070+11:00@NucMed: Annabel was just REALLY enjoying all the ...@NucMed: Annabel was just REALLY enjoying all the filibuster...<br /><br />I honestly think Question Time doesn't get enough exposure to most people.
