After Trump switched America's allegiance to Russia I didn't think I could be surprised by anything else he did. Proved wrong in a matter of days. #auspol #uspol #trump

He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

Let me tell you a story about the politics of Australia: Over the last 28 years generally, but over the last decade particularly, I've done a lot of politics outside of Australia. Last week, an organisation I work with called me in for a meeting mostly among people like me around the world /n

My advice to Vic voters concerned about retightening of abortion laws: 1. Don't vote for One Nation. 2. Ignore scare campaigns about who polls say can govern in league with who. 3. Consider what is known re views of individual major party candidates in your seat/region.
