year in review 2025

this is my personal year in review for the blog.

politics – well the highlight was obviosuly labors massive record breaking win in may an unheard of landslide. otherwise it was slightly disappointing that he housing crisis isn’t fixed and the world is almost definately heading to a world war 3. the other highlight was the end of the carrers of dutton, chandler-maher and the big supprise bhandt all losing their seats. the shame was the whole disgraceful behaviour of linda reynolds towards higgins.

sport – no 5 peat for my panthers the only disappointment of any sort but wasn’t expected but still to get to a prelim after being last halfway through the year counnts for something and leading the prelim against the eventualy premiers the broncos (who did it the hard way and desreved it) counts for something. my hawks also had a great year being only the 2nd team from 8th to get to a prelim (the first was north in 2015) but couldn’t get past the cats who went down to the premiers brisbane who again earned it but the league needs to look into some teams advantages. the womans was again dominated by the roos. if i had a request it would be no brisbane teams in the grand final (between afl aflw and nrl 8 grand finals in 3 years ridicilous) unless its at the expense of sydney swans geelong or meloburne storm. my marriners also failed at a attempt at a 3 peat sliding back down. but both my austrlaian basketball teams won this year. it was also great to get back to the footy this year when i saw my hawks lose to the lions in may for the first tiem in 7 years

travel – this year i finally returned to the city of melbourne after 6 years and had a nice holiday on the gold coast. the flights on qantas link were good.

aviation – safety is back in the headlines but imporved later in the year. a lot of interesting new routes as well including adeliade to san fran for instance.

tv – a big disappointemnt that channels are cutting back on kids shows and animes way too much in australia replacing them with outdated and rubbish commedies. overall not the worse year though.

hopes for next year – not too much different but if they improvement in what i mentioned would be good don’t like the footy wild card round though and hope for a labor win in the victorian election.

score 7.5/10
