I was honored to speak at a conference “Intent to Destroy: Confronting Russia’s Campaign to Erase Ukraine & Its People” at Georgetown. The mere suggestion of amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity.

What if we took the billions saved by not hosting the COP and gave it to the Pacific who we keep saying the COP was supposed to help? #climate

COP failure delivers a billion dollar opportunity to finally deliver for Pacific family
New analysis of Australia's foreign aid spending recommends a more direct way to help our Pacific neighbours, following the failure to win the right to host next year’s COP climate talks.

John Menadue: PM Malcolm Fraser was an inspiration to work with on immigration and multicultural affairs. The contradictions in the man kept multiplying.
His commitment to non-discriminatory immigration was deep-seated. He buried White Australia as no other PM.

John Menadue: Fraser encountered a lot of opposition from within Liberal Party & ABC and its supporters over establishment SBS, but he believed, correctly in my view, that the elitist ABC should have better served the non-English-speaking section of the Australian community.

Good regulation is good for productivity growth. Lack of regulation is driving inefficiency.

Reigning in investor lending to open things up for first home buyers makes sense.
But let's make it even more effective by cutting back the obscene tax concessions that the wealthiest property investors can access. #HousingCrisis #auspol

We couldn't have a more LNP gov't if the LNP was actually in power right now.
The current #Labor Gov't is a bitter disappointment to all of us who hoped, after the last election, we'd finally see #Albo & friends do more Labor like things.
Instead they are taking us back to the 1850s
