Why reports Trump pressed FIFA to overturn a decision are so alarming
Sport has also always been political. But if reports Trump has wielded political power to change on-field decisions are true, it signals a dangerous precedent.

The first daffodil of my garden… with still alive and flowering nasturtiums behind (that should be very dead in Canberra by wintery July… but are not).

The one positive thing about the Veronica's at number 3 is at least it means that Australians will vote for songs by female artists. Getting two women in the top 5 is a bonus considering there would be fewer than 20 songs with women vocalists in the whole top 100.

My heretical Australian music opinion is that the Gravy song is pretty boring and not remotely one of Paul Kelly's best
