@albomp.bsky.social gave a politician’s answer, not a leader’s response on #Insiders today. When Trump dismisses NATO allies’ sacrifice in Afghanistan, calling it “inappropriate” was weak. 47 Australians died there. That deserved more than diplomatic platitudes. #Auspol

True Blue at the cricket today? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Another thing that frustrated me! It romanticises an Australia that never existed for many Australians and it ignores the multicultural reality we actually live in today. A song for Anglo Australians not for all Australians. #auspol
