I’m a fan of Gerard Henderson’s column in The Australian.
So you can imagine my surprise when, reading it yesterday, I discovered I was the subject of it!
Hang on a second. His columns are typically lamented the putrid state of the Australian media. Oh dear …
Okay. So, the way I read that was he hated Alexandra Marshall’s analysis, but he thought my commentary was bang on! :)
I didn't get what he said about you.
He had just quoted your statement.
Facts are facts and opinions are opinions.
China is run as a totalitarian state, but to compare it to Australia is not fair.
The Australian government is owned by the people who bought the shares in the company registered as Australia on the stock exchange.
It doesn't matter who you vote for.
Morrison found that out after bringing a lump of coal into parliament and then being told to sign up to net zero by 2050.
I could mention a few more, but that is enough to see who runs the country.
Not the PM, not the majority party on the house of reps floor, its Blackrock, Vanguard, State street, etc. who own the country!
They tell them to jump and they ask, "how high?"
Does Gerard want to step outside his NewsCorp publishing square and submit something different to the Spectator for consideration? How authoritarian is the State of Australia considering China has not invaded another Nation in it's history, Is that a Great wall around China to keep them in or Out?
