Question: Did he accept a bribe?
Vance: Is it illegal? You know elephants are grey

It's a problem in all developed nations. Very few clothes are still made in Australia because people aren't willing to pay what it costs to produce clothing in a country with high wages. It's sad, but a reality.

If you don't want to be a dictatorship, vote Yes on 50.

This whole thing is terrifying. All democratic countries need to recognise Turning Point USA as a terror organisation. Their members clearly identify with fascism.

Not all of them, but definitely hard to feel for those who did. I still feel for their children - they don't have a choice, just like the kids of ant-vaxxers who die from preventable diseases.

I am desperately hoping the Nobel committee will award the Peace prize to USAID. While there are other worthy recipients this would be such a strong message to the likes of Musk and Trump just how important USAID was for millions around the world.

Every day I feel as though we are moving a step closer to the doomsday clock as the worst of humanity is unleashed by Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Kim and Xi and aided and abetted by fearful leaders around the world.

Yes, conservative Australian men struggle with women having any say, which is weird as we got the vote well before most countries.

And she's not as bad as those who would overthrow her for the leadership! Depressing!

Most of their best journalists have left or were fired for not hero-worshipping a hateful far-right provocateur who got killed supporting the right to kill people with guns

Are you responding to my Sussan Ley comment? She's the leader of the opposition in Australia. Bluesky is international - not just American.

She also went to the Bezos wedding. It's almost like the very rich don't really care about the rest of the world. Time for a 95% tax on billionaires.

More lies from Captain Bonespurs

I feel anger every day, but I call and email state officials as well as federal. I think if we had more squeaky wheels, we might see some action, at least in Australia.

I heard a podcaster talk about soft secession, whereby the states stop paying taxes to the federal government. That's probably the best way forward. Stop the funding that goes to the federal government by the richest states (California, New York, Mass and others) and redirect that to blue states.

Does Ted "pedophile protector" Cruz think the Dems will be terrorized into backing down because of the childish memes of the Republican congress and White House? Doesn't he realize only one party is made up of 1-year-old geriatrics who love pedophiles.

Yes, I remember that. I would never have wished it on him. He was kind of a lovable larrikin but I wouldn't put him in the Goodall camp.

To be clear, truly great advocates for the natural world like Goodall and Attenborough observe, help where they can (without interferring), but they put the animal kingdom above showmanship.

Read what Cousteau, the great marine scientist, said about him. While he respected his environmental message, he said the following: "Irwin would "interfere with nature, jump on animals, grab them, hold them, and have this very, very spectacular, dramatic way of presenting things".

I'm Australian, so I have a slightly different perspective. He did, to an extent, but he also interferred with nature, which I think encouraged copy cats, who do a lot of damage.

Not so sure about Irwin. More like her, Attenborough and Sangduen Chailert
