Trump’s a rotter, the Libs are far right, and the voice is the bee’s knees?
From today’s (4/4) op-ed in the Australian newspaper. Greg Sheridan: “…his [Trump’s] style was chaotic and he told countless lies. Nonetheless, he did do some good things.” Countless lies?

Guest Post: Santissima Trinidad – Comments on Indigenous Voice Co-design Process Final Report to the Australian Government
Note: p.17 – page number. P.100/272 is the .pdf number, 2 higher than the written page number I’m a very, very long term regular reader and rare contributor.
