Cheers. I’ll be ready to watch then!

Has the season finished yet? I’ll only pay for Apple TV for a single month so I don’t want to get on too early.

I thought they were trying to prove that practical effects are still better than CGI for explosions.

We need to de-consultant the public service. We’ve hollowed out expertise and allowed the profit motives of consultants to drive policy.

There’s little point until the US sorts itself out. Better that we use the time to build stronger connections with our regional neighbours, Canada, and Europe.

You don’t need to believe China is all flowers and good intentions to see Marles as foolish and dangerous. He really has to go.

Good to read. I’d been noticing it was weird but couldn’t put a finger on why. Should have picked it earlier.

Our failure to properly tax the wealthy is at the heart of many problems.

Certainly works pretty well (though not perfectly) here. Compulsory voting along with easy voting are also key. I guess you could use the constituent nations of GB to form the upper house, thus stopping it from being all about London.

They’ll say it was a democrat who did it, then they’ll say it was mental illness. Can’t be a terrorist as he is white and right wing.

Wow. I wonder what the numbers on that little attendance are.

At a certain level, incompetence is no longer a believable excuse. Choices were made. These people are theoretically smart. They know what they are doing.

It’s deliberate, though, right? It’s collusion or capitulation masquerading as incompetence.

Exactly. This is the move to get martial law in place.

I expect this will go to all out war.

Every country has its collection of awful people. I don’t think we’re particularly stand out in that regard. Lots of good people here, as you say. And, thankfully, I don’t see a lot of a pro-Russia sentiment.

I hope this kind of thing is influencing your take on Australia’s future military design. Democracy has lost an ally.

Sorry about that c*nt. We do have a few down here.

Had no idea who James Massola was, but now I know not to view any of his articles as credible. Anyone wanting a strong Aus military should be pushing hard for euthanising this deal. We should pick an off the shelf submarine to get them done and spend savings on other tech and our broader society.

Because there isn’t enough of a wealth gap between rich and poor. We need to end all public funding of private schools.

Add to that the terrible headlines that create an impression that is taken away when many don’t read further. The guardian is as much at fault in this as most places.

I suppose the issue is that incompetence in the current circumstances feels horrendously negligent to some of us. What the media says matters. It’s like the steady stream of male murders of women being ‘described by friends as a top bloke’ in news articles. We’re past the point of benefit of doubt.

Ian Anderson, JT. Saw them twice as they were generous to visit my little bit of Australia over the years. Great band. Music that doesn’t date.

Just read the article. Great coverage. That graph is very telling, and you’re spot on that the travel warnings are not enough.

I haven’t had a chance to read a lot over the past day or so, but I caught a mention of an Australian journalist being deliberately shot with something. If that gets proper coverage, I’d really hope so.

We don’t import enough stuff into America to make negotiating worth it. Even a terrible deal for us would soon no longer be enough.

When people decide they are above the politics, they ignore the impact of politics. I bet the jokers behind this decision felt that it would be inappropriate to consider his dreadful behaviour.

I feek so gaslit when that happens. Kind of happy that it's not just me.

Substantial options, I mean.

Are the options only defensive and long range/clever strikes?

It seems so inefficient. Just build it into tax and make some of the rich bastards pay some for once.
