As a Port Adelaide local, would love to see something like this replace the old Fisherman's Wharf market. The area desperately needs something to bring the people in and activate the waterfront again.
Sydney's new fish market has officially opened, welcoming an incredible 40,000 visitors on its first day. Designed by 3XN, the market is located in the city’s Blackwattle Bay. Beneath its distinctive wave-like timber roof — the largest timber roof in the Southern Hemisphere — the four-storey complex contains specialty food retailers, restaurants, cafes, and new public space.
The existing Sydney Fish Market had long been a staple among Sydneysiders, Australians and visitors – but 3XN hopes the new structure will “elevate the market as a top tourist destination”. The building and its surrounding development is projected to more than double the number of visitors to the area over the next ten years.
On its website, Sydney Fish Market describes the project as “the most significant harbourside building since the Opera House.”

Not to take away from the Mariners’ performance but Andrioli got his squad selection all wrong tonight. #ADLvCCM

I like Harry Crawford but a RB he is not. Should’ve been Panashe from the jump. And then to go to a back three at the half and bring on Tatu makes no sense either. Does Di Pizio have all that space for the fourth if Panashe comes on instead?

Ayoubi is clearly not a striker but Jake Nadjovski, the only other 9 in the team, can’t make a match day squad. Luka is away for a month, at least give him a run off the bench.

In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
First of all, it's just a made up quote. Completely dishonest.
Second, what's reasonable is to want to share a language with your neighbor. How do you borrow a cup of sugar? Resolve disagreements? Have a nice conversation? You need a common language, and in America, that language is English.
The far left became so deranged on immigration that they're attacking people for wanting to be able to speak to their neighbors.

For 60 years, the Hospital Research Foundation Group has been making life-changing impact for many South Australians. Today, in Parliament, we celebrate this incredible milestone and say thank you to everyone who’s been involved.

It just boggles my mind that people who are literally descended from immigrants are protesting immigration in Melbourne today.
Unless you’re an indigenous Australian you came from somewhere else.

What a marvellous day to remind ourselves of the gifts of Australia, that’s provided a home to us all over several centuries, along with the world’s oldest living culture.
An extraordinary place where we come together from more than 300 different cultural backgrounds, all equal, all equally Australian.
Sport demonstrates this best, where our diversity, and our history, is on display every day, every week, every triumph.
The Socceroos announced an exciting young squad to play NZ this Friday, led by a former international teammate of mine of Croatian-Australian ancestry, and just take a glance at the surnames.
Or those of our greatest legends, Captains, or community clubs.
Overnight, we revelled in another unbelievable freekick for Watford by an immensely exciting young Australian and Socceroo, of Tanzanian ancestry.
How proud the Australian football community are to see young stars rise.
With every goal, every win, every World Cup qualification, with the rise of the Matildas whose parents and grandparents span the globe, our chests swell with pride.
What a country. Love it.
Ancient, diverse, and every one of us, Aussie.

During a campaign full of dumb policy positions, cutting prac payments is right up there for me. And to release it the day before going to the polls? Political science students will study this campaign one day as an example of what NOT to do.
Last night, Peter Dutton released the long-awaited Coalition costings if elected. Relief for students and women will be cut, including prac payments, student HELP debt relief, childcare and free TAFE. Media Release - bit.ly/4iEnWnT

Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics which were held in Nazi Germany. The Nazi's propaganda newspaper wrote at the time: "...Jewish and black people should not be allowed to participate in the Games."
But sure, not political at all.

This tweet is not about Jackie Robinson.
His significance can never and should never be erased.
Breaking the color barrier in baseball in itself is not political.
Jesse Owens winning 4 Gold Medals in itself was not political.
Jack Johnson becoming the 1st Black Boxing Heavyweight Champ in itself was not political.
They all had political ramifications. They all challenged the status quo of racial barriers to fair play, race relations and civil rights.
That should always be acknowledged and never forgotten.
They shouldn’t be used as an excuse to push political agendas on sports shows on national television to an audience there to consume sports content.
