Sex, Lies and better politics
How women are treated in politics in Australia. A must-watch for all responsible voters. Don’t watch if you vote on the basis of “with which candidate or party am I better off financially”.

Christian Porter – Attorney-General of Australia …
I watched the ABC’s FourCourners program yesterday with certain expectations but these were exceeded by far. How could someone like Christian Porter survive so long and hold a high government office ? Obviously, he either felt safe or he lived in some fantasy world, thinking he is untouchable. What consciousness does he have? None? This is bizarre. Given his role in the government, he represents Australia. Is this how we want the world to see us ? Apparently, Porter’s poor conduct towards women can be traced back to his early days. It is therefore most likely not an acquired conduct pattern. Does nobody look into this before appointing him to a high office ?

Knowing that Trump belongs to the past brings happiness and hope to the world.
The olive tree leaves of victory
When intermediate results suit him
The democratic process requires the counting of all votes. Donald Trump however, wants counting to stop in critical states where he has a lead at a time when the intermediate results suit him. Can you believe it ! Knowing that most of the yet to be counted votes are not for him, he simply wants these to remain uncounted. Ugggghh
Now he gets even more droll by saying: Oh we won by the early votes, so the late votes should be ignored as he considers them as illegal. How can a president of the USA talk like this ?

Warped reality
How bad can it be ? Influencers with bad agendas using social media and people fall for it. Uncomfortable journalists are neutralised by fabricated indecent videos. This TED Radio Hour programs on NPR sheds light on a dark matter.
