COMMENTWake me up when it’s over. If this federal election was a boxing bout it would be Mike Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul late last year - overhyped, mismatched and with an outcome we should have all seen coming. At least that contest had participants willing to drum up a bit of interest in the whole affair too. In contrast, Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton appear determined to not say or do anything that’s worth talking about as we close in on the May 3 vote. For Albo, it’s a winning play.

Should I tape my windows? What do I do with the trampoline? What about my car if I don’t have a garage? And the dog? Why are people filling up their bathtub?

Not all Super Bowls are created equal and today’s finale between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles almost exists in a class of its own. At stake is NFL history.

Paul, wearing a smart three-piece suitt, started filming from below as he sat next to brother Jake when Von’s chair suddenly gave way — sending him tumbling back between Paul’s legs.
