Just a quick comment about the recent Oz Federal elections. I don't want to hijack this thread.

The Oz Liberal/National Coalition Party which was not in power has been soundly defeated and one of the reasons for that defeat is that the leader, Peter Dutton, was echoing some of Donald Trump's statements.

For me, it is satisfying to see how the Oz voters defended our democratic processes and saw through Dutton's strange unworldly promises and his total disregard for the working people, the female voters, the First Nations voters, the climate action people, almost every type of demographic in the country.

My hope is for the American people to rise up against Trump and bring back true democracy and the checks and balances.
