- Comment on Happy American import day 1 week ago:
The trick or treaters in our area were so cautious not to be a nuisance - had a skeleton in the front garden bed but many walked by unsure because we didn’t have a sign specifically inviting them to knock for lollies. Those that did were very polite and thankful.
Least of our worries when it comes to malign US influence. What really needs a smack in the mouth is our Google/Apple/etc. dependency.
- Comment on What game is he playing? The PM and AUKUS 1 month ago:
Well, he doesn’t provide much insight into what Albo’s game is, but goes on to make the slightly absurd argument that subs are “surplus to requirements” because our electronic warfare aircraft are such a potent capability on their own.
Interesting morsel here though:
According to references in a book by former foreign minister Bob Carr, I was told, the departments of PM&C, Treasury, Finance and Defence all opposed the purchase of the Growlers.
Wonder what the current view is on whether it’d have been a better to have more F-35s but no Growlers.
- Comment on Why UK police arrested 466 people at protest for banned Palestine Action group 2 months ago:
The way things are headed in the UK, they’ll be having to resort to blank sign protests like the Hong Kongers.
