Seeing all the sleaze from the gambling industry in the senate inquiry has reminded me of one of the funniest things I ever saw in a job. It involves a whole bunch of people walking away with loads of cash from the pokies. It’s also a cautionary tale for business owners of all kinds. 1/?🧵

Pelanty. Go on Kane, give Bellingham your kick. #NORENG

Bellingham is having a special tournament #NORENG

I wanted a full energy, end to end game with two good attacks and shonky defences. Somewhat disappointing so far that both teams have been reasonably solid at the back. #NORENG

Second half, same as the first #NORENG
