Seeing the dehumanising of those people was horrifying. Yes, if proven to be gang members, no problem with deportation. But even more frightening is the blatant disregard for The Rule of Law

Viewed with horror in Australia. All for greed, wanting to take what little Ukraine has left, its mineral resources. Now wondering if we will join Trumps hit list because of our resources. Admiration for Zelenskyy, contempt for Trump and Vance and all who support them.

It’s all one massive farce with disastrous consequences. I’m an Australian, wondering when they might turn their rabid attention to us and our mineral wealth.

I stopped watching, it was horrific. Not sure what I quite expected but that was unbelievable. All they want is Ukraine’s mineral wealth, same as Canadas Greenlands. I’m Australian, wonder how long before they target us.

Wealthy people and corporations not paying their fair share of tax is hugely problematic.

Hi Joe, from Melinda in Australia,yes, I find myself too often wallowing in the disheartening, but will often immerse myself in writing poetry. Some of my poems allow me to vent, but most of them are about small things, experiences, moments of reflection, the better side of humanity, yes,it exists

Watching on from Australia, it is soul destroying to see how quickly everything is imploding. The world needed great leadership in these unstable times, but all we are seeing is the rise of the extreme right.

This is heartbreaking for Ukraine, terrifying for the democratic world which will no longer include the USA soon as it progresses into fascism at an eye watering speed. The uber rich will have all the power, as law for all disappears.

I think on how Bruce Pascoe was pilloried over his book Dark Emu for daring to suggest indigenous peoples practiced cultivation well before the English arrived in Australia.
