Pilgrims, patriots, punters… $36 worth of failed multi-bets has exposed a league at risk of being caught up in organised crime, while corporate bookmakers rule the roost. Do we need amnesty? Do we need a Players Betting Portal? Or do we need… the Tent of Truth? A billion tuned in to watch it. 800,000 loyal fans applied for tickets. But did little ol’ England didn’t have a suitably large venue? Of course not. Where’s the MCG when you need it? The people of India and Pakistan deserved a cauldron of capacity, but built where? Why tooled up Army personal will Make Our Stadiums Safe Again. Pinching is a Grub Act, but is it a Dog Act? Nick Kyrgios is a Showman, plain and simple, and a Showman has an obligation to name and shame people wearing Ridiculous Hats. Prize money skirmishes aside, The Melbourne Cup is a national day of unity and nothing screams unity like a national March spearheaded by Peter Dutton. Oh, and don’t forget the Bookies.
