Manchin is Manchin. But what kind of healthy democracy is structured in a way that can allow one man elected by 290,000 voters in one of the least populous states to thwart the agenda of his party and the President who was elected with 81 million votes. We need structural change.

AGS lawyers have advised the AAT that secrecy certificates will be issued in my challenge to the Archives denying me access to a 2000 Timor Gap negotiations cabinet doc.

Bob Menzies was not an anti-vaxxer. Clive misappropriates UAP mythology. Joe Lyons established the Australian Broadcasting Commission in 1932. Clive and his new mate Rupert Murdoch (Keith’s son) want to destroy it. Palmer’s UAP is a front for the coal/gas lobby which owns LNP. https://t.co/L846wLKrSR
