Nick Kyrgios slams ‘disgusting behaviour’ of fans who heckled Daniil Medvedev after loss at the Montreal Masters

Nick Kyrgios has slammed the “disgusting” behavior of some tennis fans, after video circulated on social media of Daniil Medvedev being heckled after his second round loss to the Australian in Montreal.

In a video re-tweeted by Kyrgios, Medvedev is shown being called a “loser” as he walks towards the locker room with security.

Medvedev then stops, turning and speaking with the fan, as someone shouts “you respect us and we respect you.”

Others can be heard imploring the fan to apologise.

On Twitter, Kyrgios labeled the fan’s behavior as “disgusting”.

“This is the best we have in the sport, fans need to show some respect.”

The interaction came after Kyrgios had defeated the Russian world number one at the ATP’s Montreal Masters, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-2.

At a press conference for the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, Medvedev said he had felt compelled to approach the spectator.

“When someone mocks me, I’ll respond,” he said.

“It would be bad to let people shout bad things at me and just keep walking. I will ask what his problem is.”

Medvedev said he had also talked to the father of the fan who had called him a “loser”.

“The father of the guy said something to me also — I say: ‘Educate your kid’,” Medvedev said.

Bridge upgrade on Centenary Motorway at Jindalee delayed due to contract issues

The construction of a new northbound bridge at the notorious Centenary Bottleneck Motorway over the Brisbane River at Jindalee has been delayed until 2023.

The $244 million project involves duplicating the Centenary Bridge and converting the existing bridge to a three-lane southbound route, with a new three-lane bridge traveling northbound.

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said contract issues had complicated the upgrade’s timeline, with delays due to an alternate bid being submitted for the project that required “thorough due diligence” before work could proceed.

“[The delay is] unfortunate but not a huge delay, so we’re getting it built as soon as we possibly can,” Mr Bailey said.

“We’ll certainly see construction start next year.”

He said the bridge upgrade was a critical part of the Centenary Motorway upgrades throughout the west of Brisbane.

“Without the bridge [upgrade] whatever other work you do is still going to grind to a halt with limited lanes across the river,” he said.

The Centenary Motorway currently carries 85,000 vehicles daily, with use expected to balloon out to 152,000 vehicles daily by 2036, as the population of Ipswich, Springfield and western Brisbane booms.

Between 2010 and 2016, the motorway recorded nearly 200 crashes.

The RACQ’s monthly travel speed data reported that in May 2022, Brisbane’s slowest inbound morning traffic was just 25 kilometers per hour on the Centenary Motorway from the Ipswich Motorway to Dandenong Road, adding nearly nine minutes to the morning commute.

The bridge upgrade, jointly funded by the federal and state governments, is one of several road upgrades along the Ipswich corridor, including a recently completed $80 million upgrade to the Sumners Road interchange at Jamboree Heights.

Another $10 million in federal funding has been set aside to investigate more upgrades along the Centenary Motorway through to Ipswich.

Mr Bailey said, to date, the bridge upgrade’s budget remained at $244 million, but department planners were closely monitoring the global inflation of construction materials.

Wall Street rally sets up the ASX for strong open

The S&P 500 rose 72.88 points to 4,280.15, while the Dow gained 424.38 points to 33,761.05. The Nasdaq added 267.27 points to 13,047.19.

Small-company stocks also made strong gains in a sign that investors are confident about the economy. The Russell 2000 rose 41.36 points to 2,016.62.

The central bank has been raising interest rates in the hopes of slowing the economy and cooling the hottest inflation in four decades, but investors are worried that it could hit the brakes too aggressively and steer the economy into a recession.

On Friday, a survey by the University of Michigan showed that consumer sentiment is stronger than economists expected. Still, inflation remains painfully high. That means the Fed is likely to remain on course with its rate hikes until it is certain that prices have peaked and are easing.

The Fed’s last two increases were by 0.75 percentage points. Traders now see about a 60 per cent chance that the central bank will raise overnight interest rates by half a percentage point at its next meeting.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.84 per cent from 2.88 per cent late on Thursday. It remains below the two-year yield. That’s an unusual investment of the expectation that borrowing money for a longer period should cost more than a shorter period. When investors demand a higher return for a short term like the 2-years than a longer one like 10 years, it’s viewed by some investors as a reliable signal of a pending recession. The economy has already contracted for two consecutive quarters.

League of Legends Is Adding Jungle Pets

Riot Games has another jungle shakeup planned for League of Legends’ next preseason period, and this time, it’s doing something completely new. An overview of some of the work-in-progress jungle changes shared this week confirmed that Riot intends to add pets to the jungle, pets that’ll help junglers clearing out the jungle itself while also empowering champions to some degree. Riot’s full plans have not been laid out, however, so we only know of teases so far to hint at what might happen.

The plentiful jungle changes were talked about first in a Lol Pls video focused on the next preseason period and a couple of upcoming champions. These pets stem from planned changes for the jungle items themselves which Riot said don’t currently offer a lot of excitement or readability when it comes to things like Red Smite. Riot wo n’t be returning to the days of Spirit of the Elder Lizard or Wriggle’s Lantern but he will instead try out a new strategy via these pets.

“These pets will help you do little things in the jungle like clearing or taking down epic monsters (think old Sated Devourer puppy),” a post on the league site accompanying the video said. “As you jungle, you slowly raise and feed your pet until they’ve grown up enough to be able to empower you.”

Two early images showed what sorts of things Riot is looking at, though the devs clarified that the concepts were very early in development and that things would look different when the idea was fully realized. One image shown below had a tiny wolf walking behind Mundo in the jungle while another showed how Riot used stand-in effects for the part where the pet empowered the player.

league-of-legends-jungle-pet.jpg

“Our earliest prototype was a jungle wolf that followed you around and whenever you killed a camp, Ahri’s foxfire missiles shot into the wolf’s mouth,” the post explained. “At a certain point the wolf got really, really small (unlike our love of it) and attached to your head. Then a recolored version of (soon-to-be-outdated) Udyr’s Tiger Form glowed on you while Aatrox’s ult activation sound effect played repeatedly (and globally oops).”

As for what that buff does, Riot isn’t saying just yet, so we’ll have to wait until closer to the preseason period when that and more questions will be answered.

‘Are you in that love bubble?’ co-host Jackie O Henderson asked.

‘100 per cent. We just keep looking at him and then we look at each other and smile and one of us has a little tear roll down,’ Kyle admitted.

He went on to give listeners an update on Otto and Tegan, as they prepare to leave hospital.

‘We might get released today or tomorrow,’ Kyle revealed.

‘The baby is all clear but because Tegan had a caesarean she’s just got to keep that monitored but she’s doing well.’

‘Kyle’s beyond excited. Kyle will be back on tomorrow’s radio show to chat all things Otto,’ he added.

Jackie, who is Otto’s godmother, shed tears of joy as she declared: ‘Otto has been born!’

Kyle later gave a rather graphic update about the birth, telling ‘Intern’ Peter Deppeler live in the hospital car park: ‘Otto’s born, Otto’s fabulous. I cut the cord, I didn’t realize it was like tough calamari and blood spurted out.

Dressed in blue scrubs, the elated new father said: ‘I was the first person to touch him, he sh*t himself, poo was oozing out.’

Deppeler also recorded a comedic video of Kyle indulging in a cooler bag full of snacks in the hospital.

‘The baby’s feeding. Then I thought, well if you’re eating, I will too,’ I declared.

Manchester City bans sunscreen at Etihad Stadium, shocking cancer charity

Temperatures topped 30 degrees Celsius in parts of England over the weekend, but fans of Manchester City were still not allowed to bring sunscreen into their stadium for the team’s most recent game.

The sun was beating down on the crowd at the Etihad Stadium, during Saturday’s 4-0 win over Bournemouth, but according to City, fans were not permitted to bring any sunblock into the ground.

The club’s supporter services Twitter account flagged the importance of staying hydrated at the game, but when a fan asked if they could bring sun protection to the game, they were told no.

“We advise supporters to apply this before coming and to bring a hat and water,” the account replied, linking to a ‘Matchdays at Etihad Stadium’ page on their website that did not detail the sunscreen policy.

The account later tweeted that the city’s metro rail was struggling due to the heat, advising people to walk home from the afternoon game “where possible.”

Charity Melanoma UK jumped into the replies dumbfounded.

When one Twitter user pointed out that this was not a unique policy at major sporting events, the charity suggested a simple answer.

“Dispensers in all the stadiums,” it tweeted.

James’s partner, Venita, suffered a stroke. Two months on, she can’t leave hospital because they can’t find a place to live

A 39-year-old stroke victim is unable to leave hospital because she and her partner have been living in an industrial shed in southern Tasmania.

Venita Brown has been told she may end up in an aged care facility or a women’s shelter if she and her partner, James Paul, cannot find a suitable place to live.

“She’s constantly depressed,” Mr Paul said. “She pretty much thinks she is stuck in hospital because she’s got nowhere to go. They’re saying I am not allowed to bring her back here.

“It’s actually put her mental health at risk, very badly.”

Ms Brown suffered a stroke about two months ago. A month prior to that, she and 42-year-old Mr Paul moved into the shed.

They could not find a rental they could afford on a combined disability pension and carers allowance of around $1,300 a fortnight.

“Most two bedrooms are $300 to $400 a week and you’ve got to be able to feed yourself and pay the power bill and everything else,” he said.

The couple moved into the shed as a temporary measure. They have put together a makeshift kitchen and there is an outdoor toilet and shower.

“I had no options, so what do you do?” said Mr Paul.

But the shed has no windows, the roof leaks and, with very high ceilings, it is hard to heat. The entrance is a small door that cannot be accessed without crouching down.

“They can’t stay here,” said Alex Carter, the partner of Ms Brown’s daughter, Kaitlyn.

He said the shed was a stop-gap and was never meant to be lived in permanently.

“There’s no bales right next to the bed. There is stacked-up wood everywhere,” he said.

“Item [is]some would say, a health hazard, but more through summer they’ll be at risk of if we have a fire, there’s [only] one way in [and] one way out.

“If you want to go to the toilet, or you want to have a shower, you pretty much risk getting hypothermia.”

Mr Paul said Ms Brown had been on the waiting list for public housing for two years before suffering a stroke.

The couple said they would move anywhere in the state in order to secure a suitable home.

“They don’t care where, they just need a house,” Mr Carter said.

Mr Carter believes government safety nets are failing.

“There’s hundreds of other people that are in the same situation and it’s just ongoing and it’s getting worse,” he said.

The situation is becoming increasingly desperate, with Ms Brown due to be discharged from the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) in a matter of weeks.

“Hobart Royal is already jam-packed, they’re already screaming, saying, ‘We don’t have room’ … yet, what are we doing?” Mr Carter said.

“Keeping people in beds because they’ve got nowhere else to go … is that the reason why the hospital is so full and services are being stretched to the limit?

“The housing crisis has gotten to a point where people are actually homeless… the hospitals aren’t able to release them due to a duty of care.”

Dr Saul sits next to his desk, looking seriously at the camera.
Dr John Saul from the AMA said the situation was “incredibly frustrating” from a doctor’s point of view.(ABC News: Luke Bowden)

Doctors said the housing crisis was contributing to a shortage of hospital beds across the country.

“We have to practice good patient care and we cannot release someone from hospital unless they go to a safe environment,” the Australian Medical Association’s John Saul said

Dr Saul said a shortage of aged care placements and securing NDIS support for patients was making it increasingly harder to discharge patients.

“It’s contributing to back pressure down into the hospitals and, ultimately, that goes to the ED departments, that then goes to the ambulances,” he said.

“It’s a domino effect that’s traveling all through our systems. How does this feel from a doctor’s point of view? Incredibly frustrating.

“Some of these things are absolutely soul-destroying for our hard-working staff. We’re seeing it in homelessness with mental health issues as well.

“If a mental health patient, for example, goes back on the streets, it is unsafe, they will only present back to ED earlier if they haven’t got safe and appropriate housing.”

The Tasmanian government is calling on the federal government to fund transitional beds for long-term NDIS and aged care patients.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff said the number of patients unable to leave hospital because they were waiting for aged care accommodation or an NDIS package equaled to two wards at the Royal Hobart Hospital.

“These numbers have a large impact for a small state that is doing its best to manage significant COVID workloads,” Mr Rockliff said.

He said the Commonwealth could fund sub-acute beds in private hospitals “while we work together to look at longer-term solutions around accommodation to speed up the safe transfer of the medically-ready to aged care and NDIS supported living arrangements”.

In a statement, Department of Health Secretary Kathrine Morgan-Wicks said that, as of August 6, there were 29 aged care patients and 17 disability care patients medically ready for discharge from their acute bed but unable to leave due to waiting for aged care accommodation or an NDIS package.

There are around 4,400 people on the waitlist for public housing in Tasmania.

Tasmanian Housing Minister Guy Barnett said a tight housing market was impacting the most vulnerable.

“Communities Tasmania regularly works with the Department of Health in situations where people are leaving medical care to find the most-appropriate accommodation options to best suit people with a range of unique requirements,” he said.

“For example, our rapid rehousing program is specifically designed as transitional accommodation for eligible people to support them into long-term housing.”

The Tasmanian government is working on a plan to lift housing stock by 10,000 new homes over the next decade.

“One thousand, five hundred new homes [are] to be delivered this financial year alone,” Mr Barnett said.

After the ABC visited Mr Paul at the shed, wild weather and nearby flooding forced him to shelter at a family member’s home.

It is not clear when he will be able to return.

Australia’s top economists on how to fix high inflation

Australia’s top economists are divided on how to tackle ballooning inflation of 6.1% that’s forecast to climb to a three-decade high of 7.75% by the end of the year.

Three of the 48 leading economists surveyed by the Economic Society of Australia and The Conversation say Australia should be able to tolerate an inflation rate of 8% or higher.

Seven expect inflation to fall back to an acceptable level without the need for any further action other than Reserve Bank adjustments to interest rates.

That view was slow weight by news from the United States last week that annual inflation slid from 9.1% to 8.5% in July, after inflation of zero over the month.



Asked how high an inflation rate Australia should be prepared to tolerate, most nominated a rate at the top of or above the Reserve Bank’s 2-3% target band.

Twelve nominated a rate well above the target band.

Ten said the step-up in inflation was primarily caused by events overseas not within Australia’s power to control.

The polled economists are recognized as leaders in their fields, including economic modeling and public policy. Among them are former Reserve Bank, Treasury and OECD officials, and a former member of the Reserve Bank board.


Made with Flourish

Beyond rate rises, what could be done?

There are three kinds of actions governments can take to bring consumer price inflation down

  • actions that suppress consumer spending (“demand”)

  • actions that increase the supply of goods and services (“supply”)

  • actions that directly restrain prices

Invited to choose from a menu of options, and add options to the menu, the panel placed slightly greater weight on measures to restrain demand than measures to boost supply, and greater weight on both than measures to directly restrain prices.

The most popular measure, backed by 37% of those surveyed, was winding back government spending. Almost as popular, backed by 33%, was a super-profits tax on fossil fuel producers, with the proceeds used to reduce cost of services.


Made with Flourish

Another tax measure – increased income taxes with the proceeds used to reduce cost of services – was backed by 17%. Two of those surveyed wanted to abandon the legislated Stage 3 tax cuts for higher earners due to take effect in 2024.

But several of those who advocated winding back government spending or increasing tax did so without enthusiasm, believing that while the government should be prepared to assist the Reserve Bank in suppressing consumer demand, suppressing demand wouldn’t tackle the main reasons prices were climbing.

The risks of doing too much

The Australian National University’s Robert Breunig said much of the inflationary pressure had come from things such as oil prices that were beyond the power of Australians to influence, making it “important not to overreact”.

Melbourne University banking specialist Kevin Davis said what appeared to be high inflation might actually mainly be a series of short-term supply-induced price rises, making it hard to see how choking demand could do much good.

Australia’s current ultra-low unemployment rate was an achievement that should be celebrated, rather than put at risk without a good reason.

If high inflation did stay for a while and spread to wages, a welcome side effect would be more affordable housing.



Read more: Why does the RBA keep hiking rates? It’s scared it can’t contain inflation


Curtin University macroeconomist Harry Bloch made the point that while measures to suppress demand in Europe and the United States would indeed have an impact on global energy and food prices, that wasn’t true of measures to suppress demand in Australia, which is too small to influence global prices.

Consulting economist Rana Roy disagreed, saying the fact that high inflation wasn’t primarily caused by excess demand was no reason not to treat it by containing demand. Whatever the cause, containing demand would contain inflation.

Mala Raghavan from the University of Tasmania and Leonora Risse from RMIT University suggested winding back or delaying spending in two areas where it was clear the government was contributing to domestically-driven higher prices: subsidies for, and spending on, construction and infrastructure.

Withholding gas, boosting immigration

The most popular ideas for boosting the supply of goods and services to take pressure off inflation were reserving a portion of Australian gas and other commodities for domestic use, and boosting immigration, supported by 33% and 29% of the economists surveyed.


Made with Flourish

Reserving a portion of Australian east coast gas for use in Australia would help decouple Australia’s east coast gas prices from sky-high international prices as has happened in Western Australia, which reserves 15% of its gas for domestic use.

Boosting immigration would take pressure off costs by easing labor shortages.

Federation University’s Margaret McKenzie suggested investigating blockages in supply chains and offering diplomatic and industry support to bust them.

Subsidizing childcare, subsidizing fuel

The most popular idea for directly restraining prices was increased subsidies for childcare, supported by 25% of the economists surveyed, several of whom suggested it could also increase the supply of workers who had previously been prevented from working by unaffordable childcare.


Made with Flourish

Other ideas that would directly restrain some prices included pushing for below-inflation wage rises in the Fair Work Commission and extending the six-month cut in fuel excise due to expire in September.



Read more: Inflation hasn’t been higher for 32 years. What now?


Former Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin warned against pursuing low inflation for its own sake, saying when the economy was weak or in recession a high rate of inflation could be more easily justified than at other times.

He said the Reserve Bank should stop targeting inflation and instead target the rate of growth in national spending, an idea he will be putting to the independent review of its operations.

Ampol lauds ExxonMobil alliance with Mobil Super brand campaign via Saatchi & Saatchi

Transport energy provider Ampol has launched its new lubricants marketing alliance with ExxonMobil with a new campaign created by Saatchi & Saatchi Australia.

The alliance, which will see ExxonMobil bring its motor oil Mobil Super™ to Australia, follows the recently rebranded petroleum station chain’s latest energy evolution campaign in July, which marked the rollout of Ampol’s AmpCharge electric vehicle charging solutions while also showingcasing the various forms of energy solutions Ampol offers.

Piero Ruzzene, creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi said: “Motor oil is a purchase usually borne out of necessity rather than regularly, with many car owners rarely topping up or even checking their engine oil levels. That is, until their oil light comes on.

“When it comes to our cars, we’ve become reliant on the yearly visit to the mechanic and in-warranty service. We’ve come to think engine lubricants are only for car and motor enthusiasts. We hope this campaign gets people back in touch with their engines’ needs and empowers them to take engine care into their own hands.”

Sean Phillips, Ampol head of sales and marketing lubricants (Mobil Super) said: “We are thrilled to bring this campaign to life. Mobil Super is a brand that protects what you love, your engine, your car, and ensures a smooth journey for those inside the vehicle. Through our lubricant’s marketing alliance with ExxonMobil, we are using our scale, Australian expertise, manufacturing capability and strong customer relationships to bring Mobil Super to Australian consumers and support our commitment to evolving our lubricants offer to meet the ever-changing needs of our valued customers. .

“The suite of Mobil Super lubricants gives drivers a varied range of oils tailored for modern engines and a range of driving conditions and needs. Whichever range you choose, every Mobil Super oil provides high performance and protection backed by a long history of innovation in lubricant technology.”

The campaign will run across online video channels, radio and Spotify audio, as well as digital display from this month.

MAFS bride Connie Crayden SPLITS from her boyfriend following a ‘humiliating betrayal’

More Heartbreak for Married At First Sight bride Connie Crayden as she SPLITS from her boyfriend following a ‘humiliating betrayal’ after her harrowing time on the show

Married At First Sight bride Connie Crayden has been left heartbroken after ending her relationship with music producer Daniel Caswell.

The unlucky-in-love reality star, 29, shared the news via Instagram on Sunday night, claiming she’d been left ‘humiliated’ following ‘betrayal’.

She began: ‘I understand I’ve been quiet again this past month. I haven’t posted since being sick which is when my relationship ended.’

‘As you can imagine I’m extremely heartbroken and experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. There’s been a lot to grasp and to get my head around,’ Connie continued.

Connie, who debuted her relationship with Melbourne-based Muso Daniel in March last year, said she is now in the process of ‘readjusting’ her ‘whole life’ following a breach of trust.

‘Those who have been betrayed by a partner can understand just how humiliating it is,’ the retail worker wrote.
