David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So, is this a limited tax hit or over the life of the gas fields? 201
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026How are you going to tie in expenditure to an ongoing tax revenue without creating a dependency? You know any government is going to want flexibility. 100
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Australia will still export as much gas as possible regardless of whether there is a tax on it. 100
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Because they would lose money running a non India / England test in the southern summer. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 31/07/2026It would be a dramatic drop in value as sponsors flee. The wealthy audience is in Europe. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 31/07/2026The AFC vote doesn’t matter. If UEFA boycotts it, it isn’t happening. 100

David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 13/05/2026It's been a good series. Would be good in a Question Time to look at the Australian budget (just announced) which is starting on reducing inequality and specifically does so as part of a response to counter right-wing populism. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 04/05/2026This. Anyone thinking an LLM is sentient, does not have normal human relationships. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Sweets. Violence. What’s not to like for 6 year olds. 120

David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I can see the value in this game where you can blend experience and youth to bring on the latter. Rather than Tony’s style of all or nothing. 000

David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 17/03/2026They should have lost this for the towel boy shenanigans. Utter crap. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Whereas other teams have needed and been able to create multiple scoring opportunities, the Matildas have only needed a few but made them count. Bring on Japan - this will be a banger. Apols for the multi-post 010
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 17/03/2026And we have enough of those world class players that their defences haven't been able to stop every opportunity. It's a reminder that having 9 of your starters playing in the most competitive domestic league in the world counts for something. 110
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 17/03/2026In the end, the difference between the Matildas and the teams they have beaten has been that our best players are better than their best players and our team structure has just been able to hold out their superior ground ball play. 110
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Turns out Montemurro was right. North Korea were a better team than China, or at least caused more problems for the Matildas. 110
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 14/03/20262023 World Cup: Japan 4 Spain 0. Japan possession 22%. It’s what you do with the ball when you have it. 150
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 05/03/2026If Iran parks the bus, more creative attacking through the centre. Rotate Fowler, KCC, Sayer, Chids through there. As Philippines showed, our attack down the flank is too easy to cut out. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Those ads are the definition of optimism. 030
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 07/02/2026I assume we’re going to be doing the same with cars and motorcycles? 140
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Last night, just roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs in oil. Then cut the burrata open on top. Serve and rush to beat the others to the juices with bread. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Looks pretty good. I’d also love to see Sayer start in midfield but I wonder if our conservative selection history will see it happen. 100
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Great article, thanks Sam. Maybe women’s football in Australia needs its equivalent of Kerry Packer. The similarities with mid-1970s Australian cricket are striking. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 28/12/2025If I wanted to watch blokes swinging wildly because they’re worried about what the ball is doing, I could go and watch my local 4s. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 27/12/2025C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas cricket. 000
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Still waiting for him to “champ” one of the other panelists. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Mine was “you need to stop writing like a consultant”. Now, when people ask I say I can speak English, some French and fluent Academic. 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Is that like “colourful racing identity”? 020
David Meiklejohn @davidmeiklejohn.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I remember working in a transport department at the time and all of us going "people are going to ride these on the road? because they're sure as hell not going on footpaths." 070
