SPORTS MONDAY PART II

A groundbreaking event last weekend, as footballer Sal Rees notched up her 200th game. See here for further details. Sal is apparently an seasoned hand at making history, with her 1995 attempt to enter the AFL causing many a male nostril to dilate in fear.

While traditionally a male province, February saw the union movement moving into the realm of short skirts and long passes with the announcement that the AWU and Bill "Yes, Prime Minister" Shorten would be signing up members of the Australian Netball Players Association.

One wonders when the AWU will decide to sign Sal Rees and her ilk, as wouldn't we all love to see a showdown between Shorten and Dr Karl Kennedy as women represented by a traditionally male union sign a deal to undercut men represented by the artsy, fartsy MEAA?
