People have forgotten that the key to success is providing everybody with equal opportunity. Critical Race Theory is itself racist because it looks for aspects of race to explain lack of success.

Scott Morrison could discover a cure for cancer and solve world peace. Laura Tingle still wouldn’t like him. These events become opportunities for the anti- Scott Morrison brigade to attack him.
@simonahac
Political parties keep doing this with their candidates and it backfires (Labor and the Liberals just as bad). The Greens could have picked the human rights lawyer, Julian Burnside as the replacement senator but instead chose Lidia Thorpe. They have only themselves to blame.
@RichardDawkins
As a great admirer of yours Richard, I'm sorry you've gone down this path. The God Delusion was the worst book you ever wrote. Religious extremism doesn't stem from religion. It stems from ignorance, poverty, lack of control over one's life and other factors.

Corruption has destroyed Venezuela. Plain and simple. Any money going to Venezuela will line the pockets of the rulers who will then shift it to their Swiss private bank accounts. None of it will go to the people of Venezuela.

At least he’s not Donald Trump saying he won the 2020 presidential election, or Vladimir Putin saying he’s winning the war in Ukraine.

I must have missed the bit you said we don't need any more dams because there won't be any rain to fill them up. And of course everything is Scott Morrison's fault.

This is typical of people who are so tied to the umbilical cord of the previous president that they invent frauds and conspiracies to explain away why their beloved president isn’t there any more.

KGB agents like him just don't understand the ramifications of the seizure of foreign ownership assets. No one will now invest in Russia for the next several decades. Russia will be a financial cot case that won't be able to feed its own people.

Because Russia and Iran are the enemies, and at the moment very few US soldiers are involved in the ground offensives. It’s the Ukrainians and the Israelis who are doing the dying.

You can't sustain these sorts of losses. Russia may think, because they're bigger and stronger than Ukraine, they can outlast Ukraine, but if they keep sustaining these losses, their invasion of Ukraine will collapse.

We don’t commemorate anything Churchill or any any other English politician did. We commemorate the sacrifices ordinary men and women gave in the service of this country. That’s how the Turks see it, who welcome us to Gallipoli at this time (and commemorate loss of Turkish life).

Not when you challenge the religious beliefs of people whose lives are founded on their religion. What does that achieve if they are living decent lives? What you are doing is claiming scientific superiority over others. That's not our job as scientists.

How come you can frame a paragraph of words on the bombing of Gaza Strip without putting it in the context of the circumstances that preceded the bombing, which was the innocent slaughter of 1200 Israelis?

No it’s not. This is a war started by Russia because Ukraine, a sovereign country, wouldn’t accept Russian proxy leaders in their country. All sovereign countries have the right to defend themselves from invasion by any means possible, including accepting weapons from NATO.

I’m not American but it’s poor that this film doesn’t depict Armstrong planting the US flag on the moon surface. This dishonesty is further evidence of the descent of Hollywood mainstream filmmaking into liberal claptrap to please the audience.

I think the issue is different. The athlete wants to compete against the boys but is prevented by the wrestling federation. So it’s not a cheating issue but a rules issue. Athletes shouldn’t be prevented from participating in the sports they love.

Muslims need to understand we live in a democracy where it’s one vote, one voice. Just because they don’t like what Israel is doing in Gaza, the Australian government acts on advise from the the experts, not from the rabble who turn up at street protests.

More likely Putin was appealing to a US audience to put pressure on US Congress to reject funding for Ukraine. He figures that’s the only way he can defeat Ukraine. By digressing back into Russian history instead of appealing to MAGA conservative values he wasted the opportunity.

One of the good achievements of Donald Trump is that more and more people will take a greater interest in politics and democracy will be more fluid and lead to better politicians.
@jordanbpeterson
I don’t think it’s healthy for US democracy to raffle the presidency between brothers (the Kennedys), pass it down from father to sons (the Bushs), or pass it from husband to wife (the Clintons). Like the two term limit the presidency should have a one family limit.
@LongTimeHistory
@jchimselfbigpo2
Exactly. These idiots were elected by the people who distrust politicians and believe non-politicians make better politicians. Like going to a doctor who’s unqualified believing they’ll get better treatment. That was the basis Donald Trump was elected.

That’s nonsense. They were ok for 70 odd years until govts decided to sell them off, scrap the older ones and not bother maintaining them to save money. Then the PC mob turn up and call them inefficient and old technology and replace them with 17th century windmills instead.

Diversity shouldn't be the basis for selection. It should always be based on talent - in this case, she ticks the boxes. However, hearing she considered standing for parliament, she can never do that again.

Again and again and again. NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact that doesn’t threaten anyone. Russia is using NATO as a pretext for it’s imperialist ambitions to reconquer Eastern Europe, lost when the Soviet Union collapsed.

As a conservative voter I would normally vote Liberal, but I think the liberals lost their way with Tony Abbot and have never got it back. Anthony Albanese is a genuine human being who you feel is pulling in your corner. He has his flaws, but then everyone has.

The Russians should have learned from the experience of the US in Vietnam or their own experience in Afghanistan in the 1980's. Instead, they kicked out the Communist Party and elected a fascist ex-KGB agent. Soon, most of Asiatic Russia will return to Turkey or to China.

All history is bloody, not just colonial. Just a few years ago in Rwanda there was genocidal mass murder. Defacing statues is totally pointless. What you owe history is to learn from it to improve yourself. The world is regressing unfortunately.
Enda Walsh’s musical “Lazarus” could have been so much better if she had stuck to the themes of David Bowie’s character in Man Who Fell to Earth, instead of hedging bets and turning it into a David Bowie, Greatest Hits musical. David Bowie is an enigma who transcends definition.

It wasn't words that were being said that led to the genocide committed against the Jews. It was the words that weren't allowed to be said through fear of imprisonment and execution, that led to the unfeted power of unscrupulous people who killed the Jews.

Then how come every other State of Australia was able to handle quarantined travellers except for Victoria? This is an example of blaming someone you don't like for the abject failure of people who couldn't handle a simple operation of isolating quarantined travellers.

Hypocrisy wherever you look. The media milking Harry and Meghan for all their worth, while Harry and Meghan are milking the media for all their worth, while complaining about the media interfering in their personal lives.
A point lost about the 5 second penalty that cost Sebastian Vettel the F1 Canadian GP was his petulant behaviour in storming into the Stewards room after the race, then going back and altering the place numbers on the cars. He should receive a grid penalty for the next race.

Whether you’re left or right, it’s frightening for democracy in this country for an overseas social front organisation to commit money to unseat a sitting member of parliament. Australians believe in a fair go which should translate to a fair fight between liberal and labor.
