The world is complex, but complexity is a tough sell.
Most people either can’t perceive complexity or don’t want to.
Here’s roughly what happened in the US.
Harris said: I have nothing to say about complexity.
Trump said: Fuck complexity!
The more substantive position won.
A tough topic to tackle. Done so with intelligence and balance.
One of the more challenging topics I have ever tried to grapple with. And arguably one of the most important too.

Re claims me/ @theage are partisan. I broke Helloworld scandal (federal libs, Hockey/Cormann), Matt Guy’s lobster with a mobster (libs caught on tape). Had to move out of my home after linking mafia donations to Vanstone visa decision. Etc. We follow evidence, wherever it leads.

Though we have it better than the US,the case still holds in Australia. Our “justice” system for #1stnations people and other Blak Australians is nothing but a #punishmentsystem – time to #DefundThePolice #fundsocialservices #blacklivesmatteraustralia theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

This is wrong. Our Trump-lite PM defended the right of anti-lockdown protesters to gather on Melbourne streets, saying ‘it’s a free country’. Now he says a #BlackLivesMatter protest is off-limits, backed by Daniel Andrews & the police.
Remembering is inter-generational caring and learning.
The great Aboriginal resistance leader Pemulwuy was killed 218 yrs ago today.
1790-1802 Pemulwuy led a major response to the British invasion of what is now called Sydney. He fought & died for his people & his Country.

Remember: no police officer in Australia has EVER been held criminally responsible for an Aboriginal death in custody – at Melbourne, Victoria
