@allenanalysis But I thought Tik-tok was the US`s biggest security threat!

@Peter_Fitz Really sad news. He was a journo you could trust, from days when I used to watch 60 Minutes. RIP George.

@garykoepnick We need Adrian Monk on the case! "Here's what happened...."

@LakotaMan1 I'm from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

@ScottySnelgrove @ChristyDanFan Just wondering, do you think destroying (removing) level crossings was a bad thing?

[Graham Coles @mistasea]

@GeoffField Brian Naylor in Melbourne was quite similar. We all knew what was so because "Brian told me so"!

@Faeshan2 @grumpyoldfool62 Sorry to hear of your experience in China, Sharon. I lived in China for 6 years from 2013, 18 months after the death of my wife, and I did encounter a little racism, but for the most part I was treated more like an honoured guest. China has changed a lot in the last 30 years.

@Brendanmck88 @Peter_Fitz Maybe build it next to the desalination plant in South Gippsland, Vic! Fresh water problem solved! (a touch of sarcasm here)

@ChristyDanFan I woke too early today and still feel tired. Now THAT'S the only use for that word I believe in.

@7NewsAdelaide I'm not South Australian but I am an Australian who loves and values our native wildlife. I am shocked and horrified by what these loggers are doing. It HAS to stop!

@BklynContractor @fopminui @Morbidful Ah, looked again at the photo you were referencing, inside a train carriage. I thought the story took place in a train station, otherwise how could people just keep walking by?

[Graham Coles @mistasea]

@BklynContractor @fopminui @Morbidful I didn't see a train in the photo! Typo?

@3YearLetterman @taylorswift13 First of all, her name is Taylor. Secondly, get your geography right. She toured Australia, not Austria. You know, the smallest continent in the Southern Hemisphere? Where kangaroos come from? Former British colony?

[Graham Coles @mistasea]

Names on a list. Elderly harassed. Children frightened. Academics and artists targeted. Afraid. This is how it began 100 years ago. It was wrong then, and it's not ok now.

@grumpyoldfool62 All very well said! You totally echo my sentiments.

@Peter_Fitz Would love to read it but it's behind a paywall. I think Jelena is an excellent commentator, and I really admire the way she has survived the traumas of her younger years.

[Graham Coles @mistasea]

@grumpyoldfool62 Good on you Peter. I admire and respect your decision. My day is being spent baking some wholesome bread, and watching the tennis on TV. I would like to see the date changed to March 3, the signing of the Australia Act in 1986, when we actually became fully independent of Britain
