What is it with the Libs?
One could conclude that they are quite content drawing their pay and entitlements as MP's without the responsibility and difficulties of attempting to achieve government

Immigration! what is their issue? Australia is a nation that has been built on immigration!
The birth rate needed to maintain populations is 2.1 children per woman. Australia's current birth rate is 1.48

Hastie, Price, Abbott et al may be the future of the Liberal Party
Fortunately the Liberal Party is not the future of Australia.
I have no doubt that something will arise to replace it - democratic government needs a strong opposition party - hopefully that won't take too long

The LNP carry on as if they see themselves as permanent opposition, in the Abbott mould, rather than as alternative government

The thing is that this is just the natural progression of a system that has always had gerrymandered electorates, voter suppression, voter apathy and big money needed to buy elections.

I'm not defending AUKUS, quite the reverse in fact, I think its bad
However, one would hope that our Government is a bit more knowledgable about these sort of things than two-thirds of Australians
It's what we elect them for

I claim no inside knowledge - quite the reverse in fact - but it would be very surprising to me if our Government were not already considering the politics of the USA with concern and working on defences from it.
What would be even more surprising would be if our Govt were talking about it publicly

From what I saw it looked like the red carpet was so Trump could see which way to go.
Even with that he seemed to find it difficult to walk in a straight line!

You do realize that a batchelors degree in medicine is not enough for a person to practice as a "Doctor"? It takes several more years - up to 15 years, or more for specialists.
