Donald
Trump’s base has become increasingly radical and violent and the
expansion of this fascist movement will be his only lasting legacy.
Racism at the cricket and our leading politicians Shame Australia in the eyes of the rest of the World. " Unfortunate" implies the attack on the Capitol was merely a matter of bad luck,while the banning of 'free speech' by Twitter of incitement to violence a bad decision. McCormack Frydenberg and Morrison don't do Australians any justice. They certainly destroy the image of Australia as an easy going country. (ODT)

The piece was written almost 12 months ago and spoke to a favourite subject of mine. How to clean up our politics to make for a better democracy for all Australians. John Hewson proposes six Rules of engagement.
