He's on the board!

6-0 3-0. Now half way to a triple bagel.

Rafael Nadal, who has a 17-0 head to head record against Gasquet, has just bagelled him 6-0. Safe to say belief not high on one side of the net.

O'Connor notes the "role of the commission in terms of arbitration". Says this "very important" and is a "constraint" on industrial action. #auspol #ausunions #insiders

"That has to be examined" - Brendan O'Connor doesn't rule out new multi-employer bargaining including the right to strike. "There are rights to take action under law presently." #auspol #ausunions #insiders

I refuse to say tennis players have made it to the "round of 16". They're octofinals.

Dang. Thank you for the 23-odd years and 3 hours Serena you legend. #USOpen2022

5 match points saved. Still fighting

3rd set. We're gonna see more tennis. Tennis is the winner.

A tiebreak to either end Serena's career or send it to a 3rd set. Folks: turn this match on if you're not watching.

I don't think Tomljanovic or any other professional would think this. Because they respect Serena they'll fight like hell and if they win, they win.

Would you want to be the person who ended Serena’s tennis career?

Sure. That’s what competition is like. But I’m 67, so it would not be me.

This is an incredible match. That 15min hold for Tomljanovic to stay in 2nd set. Wowee. #USOpen2022

Serena playing as good as ever. What a champ. #USOpen2022

Ladies and gentlemen. We got 'em. #AFLDeesSwans

Good explanation from

@AmyRemeikis

on ABC Afternoon Briefing - that, based on what govt has said, multi-employer pay deals won't override a deal struck by an employer with their own workforce. #auspol #ausunions

Nadal comes back from 2-4 in the 2nd set to take it 6-4. What a weird set. And match, but you gotta believe that the worst has passed for Rafa.

I like the policy, nothing sinister about it. And media within their rights to ask about the 6-pt NDIS plan and name the cash rate. But I'm sensing a bit of...regret? from some outlets they didn't ask about this.

Labor announcing a whole extra IR policy 3 months after an election is a pretty good example of why the campaigns need more policy and less gotcha questions.

Immigration is about nation building. Central to this is the manner in which people are welcomed after they've made the decision to call Australia home. My focus is about listening to and working with the millions of Australians who are our immigrant story.
