Erin Molan asked: "Would the thousands who marched around the country to protest global warming in the School Strike for Climate feel just as passionately about protecting Australia if we ever came under threat?"

I just got a scam call from someone purporting to be the Australian Tax Office, and when I said "is this a scam call?" a voice said "Shut up you idiot dog" and hung up, and actually, the way the tax office has treated me over the years, now I think it wasn't a scam call.
