And that's to make sure it doesn't happen here.
As P.Keating said of Dutton: “a charlatan”, “wicked and cynical” and “an inveterate climate change denialist”.

Any time Dutton talks about getting rid of ‘diversity hires’ the media should point out that a WCM (White Christian Male) hiring program, not merit, has determined who every single leader of the Liberal Party has been since it’s inception.

That explains things a bit.
I’m not sure what this means for the United States, but as a scholar and author this is concerning:
More than half of all adults in the USA have a literacy below the 6th-grade level. A fifth of all adults in the US are illiterate. www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

Both Fauci & Milley stood up to Trump & consequently saved many lives. Fauci stubbornly stuck to the facts about Covid & Milley refused to follow Trump’s order to shoot peaceful BLM protestors in the knees! Their reward is to be left unprotected from the haters, stirred up by Trump himself.
