Parenting my kids.
Who or what do you see as the biggest threat to Australia?
The Murdoch media because of its impact on our democracy.
Which historical figure do you most admire and why?

Totally agree that Murdoch is the biggest threat to this country,
as well as to UK and USA he is poison wherever his media has

Damn, I feel like voting for her. Shame I’m not in her electorate.
