I would hope that @albomp.bsky.social is sufficiently well versed in ALP (if not Aussie) history to understand the significant role Doc Evatt played in the formation of the UN. Would hate to see it go down the drain in favour of a Trump inspired United White Corrupt Christian Nations grouping...

Ah through several iterations we have finally converged! I have been advocating such ties since Liberation Day.
