Nick Tsagaris-Google is Planning to Cut People's Pay For Working From Home. Could it Happen Here? Google could cut pay for remote workers, with those with long commutes potentially hit hardest, but legal experts in Australia say bosses here would have difficulty doing the same.
Facebook and Twitter already have location-based packages, which reduce the salaries of workers who move to cheaper areas. According to Reuters, Google’s policy goes further, with a pay calculator that allows employees to see the effect moving would have on their pay packet. For example, a Google worker who lives an hour from New York City would be paid 15 per cent less if she worked at home, while a colleague from the same office living in New York City would see no cut from working from home, according to Reuters.

Football Australia boss James Johnson has criticised state and federal governments as the Socceroos are forced to look for a temporary overseas home for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The Socceroos are due to host China on September 2, ahead of an away trip to play Vietnam on September 7. Football bosses had hoped to play the game at home, utilising “the most complex bio-bubble that world football has seen”. However, despite advanced talks that continued right up to last week, Johnson said he could confirm that the match would not take place in Australia. “We were confident until almost the last week or so we would be playing in Sydney,” Johnson said. “As recently as last week we thought we would be playing here.

Netball Australia wants the sport to be put on the world stage at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
Netball has been a Commonwealth Games sport since 1998, with the Diamonds — currently ranked number 1 in the world — among the nation’s most successful sporting teams.

The Victorian ran 1:45.92 to finish behind Kenyans Emmanuel Kipkurui Korir and Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich, with Poland’s Patryk Dobek taking bronze. It was a slow start, which is not what Bol was hoping for, so the Australian took up the running half way through the first lap. He went through the bell in the lead in 53.8 seconds — well off his pre-race plan. Nick Tsagaris-Simone Biles Collects Bronze in Gymnastics Balance Beam Final at Tokyo Olympics. American gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has won the bronze medal in her only individual final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Biles scored 14.0 in the women’s balance beam final to take third behind Chinese pair Chenchen Guan and Xijing Tang. The 24-year-old had qualified for all five individual event finals but took herself out of four of them — the all-around, vault, floor exercise and uneven bars — to focus on her mental health. There were loud cheers as Biles was introduced and she executed a near-flawless performance. The American was in second position until the final competitor, 16-year-old Chenchen, produced the best routine of the night to jump into first with a score of 14.633.

Nick Tsagaris-Qatar's Mutaz Barshim, Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi Agree to Share Gold in Men's High Jump.
The Italian high jumper leaped into his rival’s arms, then belly-flopped onto the hard track, rolled around a few times and screamed.
Gianmarco Tamberi was just getting warmed up, too. It’s not every day you tie your good friend for gold. Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim of Qatar agreed to the tie on Sunday at the Tokyo Olympics in a competition settled not by clearing the top height but through a subtle nod. Edge definitely to Tamberi, though, for the degree of difficulty in celebrations. That’s not even counting all the hugs and kisses he delivered — or all of the people he jumped into the arms of.
