Agree.

I’ve just listened to the ‘interview’.

In Australia we have a term for the process making something bad look good. It’s called “polishing a turd”.

That’s what the interview sounded like to me.

Agree. Why meet with the leader of a criminal gang?

And while we’re on this matter, let’s cut our losses and cancel AUKUS.

Good point.

I also believe Australia should also distance itself from the USA govt in its current incarnation.

I would love to see a diminution in the USA-Aust relationship, but neither party has the guts to follow this path.

We can all read Putin’s mind.

Recent photo of Putin and Trump in Anchorage, with Putin thinking “I’ve got him by his tiny little balls.”

This is what happens when a society nation chooses to go on the ‘never-ending economic growth’ spiralling treadmill.

We lose sight of our humanity at our peril.

There are no words for what Israel is going in Gaza.

It’s not anti-semitic to say that Israeli settlers in the West Bank are behaving like nazis and support apartheid.

Tas reform isn't hard: slug multinationals and subsidise things we want more of – @ebonybennett.bsky.social

"In Norway, they tax the gas industry and subsidise young people to attend university for free. In Australia, we subsidise the gas industry and charge our kids a fortune to get a degree."
