Cheering Kerry O'Brien.
"former ABC broadcaster Kerry O’Brien got a standing ovation at the 70th Walkley awards for a rousing speech that reminded media of the 'clear and present danger for a strong, free, effective and independent media everywhere'."
I wonder how many journos applauding have censored themselves? #auspol

OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS is a day early as James has law exams. This week we talk about personal future of Zelensky as #Putin has made it clear that he will not declare peace if #Zelensky survives. He may become a victim of peace. Same thing happened to Winston Churchill in 1945.

Can't understand why #Nationals are grieving that #Barnaby has gone. They are a far better Party without him.

There would be no Farage or Trump in politics if centre-left parties seriously addressed poverty and inequality instead of obsessing over identity and telling people how to talk.

Delighted that #Parliament has honoured #MalcolmTurnbull with an official portrait. He is as intelligent a person as I have ever met but he lacked political nous & people skills. Sad as he could have been a great one.

United Kingdom is in economic doldrums due to disaster of #Brexit yet British voters tell pollsters that want its architect #Farage as their Prime Minister. This is as dumb as American voters re-electing #Trump the greatest fool of all time. Seems modern democracy does not produce commonsense.

#BarnabyJoyce & #PaulineHanson have send to media a very friendly photo of them dining in her office. It rejoices in holy political matrimony that will finish in a nasty divorce bur Barnaby is used to that.

Bureau of #Meteorology in #Queensland has created a website that cost 96 million dollars and is a dud. Prime example of gross extravagance by governments that created some more wealthy guys.

Enjoyed breakfast in Melbourne today with Australia's most switched on economist @thekouk.bsky.social. Learned much about Australia's unrealised productive capacity & the #politics of achieving it. We agreed that it wont get there without a strong Opposition in #Parliament & that is a long way off.

Australia over-governed. We don't need 3 levels of govt. #Constitution allows States to divide into smaller States. We can have 50 states & no local govts & also reduce #Senate to original figure of 5 per state as this will allow for more MP's as population grows. Hopefully we will get quality.
