16.01.2022 Today’s The Sydney Morning Herald editorial: What the states have shown though is that, despite previous acrimonious debates, big changes are still possible if political leaders make the argument in a way that sets its sights on building support across the political spectrum and not as a means of placating the most extreme views. https://www.smh.com.au//economic-focus-on-cheap-energy-pay

10.01.2022 Freedom of speech comes with responsibilities. Trump has abused that freedom, undermining a fair election, trying to disenfranchise millions of Americans, inciting an insurrection and disrupting the peaceful transfer of power. As a private company (whose shareholders also have a right to freedom of expression), Facebook is right to ban him.

09.01.2022 Trump has undermined American democracy and the rule of law and has fanned the flames of an angry mob to the point of violence.
