About 2% of Australia's second largest city turned out - in the winter rain - to support Palestine in a march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Suddenly, politicians are very interested.
So that's nice.

Trump's America is a bigger threat to the West than China (someone ought to tell Anthony Albanese)
US infringements of the sovereignty of other countries (including Australia) make Chinese 'interference' look decidedly tame.

“Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.”
Australians on Trump: dumb, dangerous and dishonest
A global survey shows Australians have some of the most negative attitudes in the world towards the US president.

“This is organised crime!” Shane Wright tells David Speers/ABC Insiders Trump’s demand to take 50% of Ukraine’s critical minerals, oil/gas reserves in return for US “protection” is criminal conduct .. not foreign policy or mutual defence agreements.

Enough. You want customer feedback it'll cost you. My opinions about your profitmaking have been monetised. It's not like you would have paid attention to my responses anyway. Don't bother asking if I'd recommend your financial services to friends and family. The answer is No. That would be crass.
