Liberals want ‘Australian values’ screening for new migrants
Coalition frontbenchers want to focus on values – not race or religion – as they seek to strike a balanced tone while the party bleeds voters to One Nation.

Dr Sokolov developed the bipedal Shagohod in the USSR, under Colonel Volgin in 1964.
The format was questioned, often, but it was easier for later generations of megalomaniacal lunatics to use pre-existing research instead of 're-inventing the wheel'...

one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system
