Happy Birthday Mel. 🇦🇺🫡
In the mid-80s, Mel Gibson sat with Ray Martin and said out loud what polite Australia didn’t want to hear. That foreign aid without strategy wasn’t charity, it was leverage being handed away. That teaching, training, and funding capacity offshore while neglecting our own foundations would come back to bite us on the arse.
Decades later, here we are. We import what we used to make. We rely on supply chains we don’t control. We wonder how a country rich in resources ended up poor in capability. The road always led here.
And today, on his birthday, it’s worth saying it plainly. Happy birthday to an Aussie legend who spoke early, stood firm, wore the scars, and never outsourced his convictions. Backbone like that is rare now. It was rare then too.
Australia salutes you 🇦🇺🫡

Nicholas Winton saved 669 Jewish children from the Nazis and told no one. He kept it secret for 50 years.
In 1988, while sitting in a TV audience, he was surprised by the very children he rescued, now grown adults.
What a great story!!! 😃🚘
In 1966, 22-year-old Kathleen bought a VW Beetle she named “Annie.”
57 years and 400k miles later, Kathleen (now 78) still drives her to work every day.
When VW heard her story, they fully restored Annie for free.
When Kathleen saw her again, she said, “She’s my family. She’s just old, not useless.”
Greenpeace co-founder, Dr. Patrick Moore:
"I am firmly of the belief that the future will show that this whole hysteria over climate change was a complete fabrication."
"CO2 is the most important nutrient for all life on Earth and without it this would be a dead planet."
That’s a big one! ⚓
