@NickBryantNY@prospect@SydneyPolicyLab Very insightful Nick.The last few years has made me think the Australian system is now more Westminster than Westminster! There is no way an Australian PM could have behaved like Boris and survived so long. The reaction to Morrison’s secret ministries further underscores this.

@nytimes In 5. I play off a handicap. First word must be the name of a bird species. Second word too if you can. Then play as usual. It’s called Birdle
@nytimes Yes I always start with the name of a bird. Today I got two birds in and then found the solution sometimes describes a bird. To me the name of the game is Birdle.
