Pot Pouri : Folau, Medevac, GDP, Bob Willis

A whole lot occurred yesterday.
Let us examine a few of them.

Israel Folau

Both parties agreed to settle. I am bitterly disappointed that Folau did so as everyone needs to know if anyone says something on social media in THEIR time can be a sackable offence.
That said I can understand why he did settle. No-one can forecast where courts may head despite how confident you are in your case. Getting a substantial sum is as good as winning.
In this case Rugby Australia settled for a few reasons few people have mentioned.  Folau had a large war chest to call on so could easily match them. He had the best legal counsel for this case in Australia and there are legal precedents for his team to rely on
Perhaps now he could take legal action against both Rugby Australia and the NRL for not being allowed to play.

Medevac

Nick Martin  says it all. Why are there any asylum seekers. This government has been in power for over 6 years. Au rely these people are either refugees or not! HERE is an explainer
The government has leaked that at present no persons who have come to Australia are in hospital and in the community.
Two problems here. Patients do not need to go to hospital for all specialist treatment and even could well be out of hospital after treatment. Why oh why do not journalists ask follow up questions.

ALL asylum seekers have to live in a detention centre
Let us be completely direct. no CHRISTIAN could support this.  ( Either now or when it originally started.)

National Accounts

Peter Martin has stolen my thunder. I will simply say we have anemic growth at present.

Bob Willis
Alas Bob Willis dies from cancer. Se HERE and HERE. He had a unique bowling action that in IMHO reduced his pace and effectiveness. He only bowled inswingers not outswingers however he did have an impressive test record. He wasn't a bad commentator as well.

Update:

I should call out two lies.

Firstly Israel Folau has never been against any groups from playing rugby Union indeed quite the opposite. Was this one of the reasons RA folded?

Secondly no person from Manus has come to Australia to have any treatment involving his penis.
