True Blue at the cricket today? 🤦🏻♂️ Another thing that frustrated me! It romanticises an Australia that never existed for many Australians and it ignores the multicultural reality we actually live in today. A song for Anglo Australians not for all Australians. #auspol

Rewarding territory with a ‘peace deal’ that gives Russia land it hasn’t even captured yet sets a catastrophic precedent. This isn’t ending a war, it’s creating an autocratic playbook. America is no longer the leader of the free world.
