Why are kiwis exempt from protections under racism laws when we basically are in charge of your country.

They're not exempt from the "racism laws."

It's just that cases under the "racism laws" are a civil matter, which means a person would need to bring a case against another person and demonstrate a) the type of comments made were in breach of a law and b) that damage was caused by those comments.

You're more than welcome to bring your own case if you see fit. I mean it's pretty easy to bring these cases against people. High success rate, really bad for freedom of speech.

This will be news this afternoon. Mayweather defeats McGregor. McGregor beat up on a string of sloppy, one trick ponies in the UFC sideshow carnival to become part of the greatest highway robbery orchestrated in boxing history.

Mental health advocate and Australian Federal Police Commander Grant Edwards has successfully completed a world record attempt at pulling a C-17 aircraft with sheer muscle power.

Once dubbed Australia's strongest man, Mr Edwards said he was feeling the pressure ahead of the pull.

"This was tough, I didn't underestimate it," he said.

"It mightn't look hard, but it really is.

"There's always that little bit in the back of your head that's going, 'oh God, I hope I can actually get this thing moving', so when I did it was a relief."

Can only be good for Australian viewers. Puts the fear of god into Ch 9 & Ch 7.

Ch 10's Sandra Sully and Timmy Bailey, go for it!

Hoping it will entrench the presence of NFL replays on Aussie tv. Monday mornings, Aussie time, love it! Might see the return of Aussie Big Brother as well..
