@MeidasClips Business logic, ethics and morality do not matter if there is a perceived bottom line benefit in the appointment. Nonsense of course, but I suspect the board thinks she is "connected" in some way to US Govt and might be a benefit. I would have though she is kryptonite.
@atrupar With any luck, the future Democratic nominee for President. This man can explain things with clarity in direct language that few aside from Newsom can compete with. Ossof however, comes without the baggage.
@NazaninNour@yashar How is this not straight up game theory playing out in reality. What choice does any regime (secular or otherwise) have in these circumstances.
@SenatorWong Surely you are embarrassed by this? You know that we are ONLY in this predicament because of the USA. For the dignity of Australia as a sovereign nation please at least call that out. You need to be publically pressuring Washington and Israel as well as Iran. Please.
@glukianoff The First Amendment seems to be protecting the worst excesses of demonisation, misinformation, and misrepresentation. Your media is some of the most expert in the world at amplifying false narratives. All this in service of the current POTUS who is globally the worst offender.
@TheAusInstitute HECS repayments are for loans the government extended to students. The government outlaid that money to universities, and is getting it back. The PRRT, by contrast, is a pure revenue impost over and above $10B+ P/A paid in tax? Comparing the two income streams seems misleading.
@Holly_Da@nyunggai I suppose truth hurts for some. Journalists report on what they see happening using their experience and facts… in the days since his first reporting on this it appears he was being accurate.
@Acyn The only real leader in the USA at the moment and an adult in the room who knows that you don’t need to keep everything at “5 alarm fire” volume. Impressive.
@DavidAFrench I agree but it is unfortunately hard for many societies at this time. The blame is squarely with opportunistic or weak politicians who cannot bring themselves to speak clearly like the pontif and then act consistently and accordingly.
@ycinnewyork … we should be afraid … because the current mob running the show are doing a stellar job … right? Boy oh boy. The world is being lead by old people who just don’t want to let go and will burn down society with scaremongering and division as they have power prised away.
