ABC TV news channel has crossed love to Turnbull at the #RobodebtRC
Turnbull starts by talking about himself as prime minister and having a dig at “others” who sought to run the government out of the PMO.
we hear that Arthur Sinodinos and Drew Clarke - cabinet Secretary and COS - are very distinguished and experienced. No connection from this to why the unlawful program being investigated was allowed to continue so long on their watch.

36 hours later the ABC speaks to someone with facts to hand about King Charles III. He was a conduit for Kerr, Prof Hocking reminds us, and his role in executive removal of an elected government was kept secret from the public for decades.
and the establishment spent millions of public dollars protecting Charles III from public knowledge of his active participation in unlawfully removing the only genuinely reformist prime minister we ever had.
there are two other interviews on the ABC worth listening to - just my opinion - in the last 36 hours or so. One is with Peter Yu on RN Breakfast (below) and the other with Wesley Enoch on #WorldToday (noon, yesterday).

I think the current situation is not just between Russia and Ukraine… the key is the power competition and geopolitical competition between the United States and Russia, I think this geopolitical competition manifested itself in the Ukraine issue. - Prof. Qu Bo
US is not going to fight for Ukraine… They will try to send as much weapons or provide financial support. But that's basically it. The Ukrainians were, in fact, abandoned from the very beginning. That's a big lesson for all of US partners and allies around the world. -Dr. Kashin

Australia's claim that it owns 42% of Antarctic has never been recognised by UN. UN does not recognise or acknowledge any claim of land on Antarctic to be owned by a single country. Rather, it’s owned by humanity at large. So Australia's claim is not legitimate. -Prof. Chen Hong
There're criticisms against Scott Morrison’s over-allocating budgets on Antarctic. Intended to deter China's regional presence, Australia's plan to spend as much as 800M on Antarctic is politically motivated, as the value injected onto this land is simply not worth it.-Prof. Chen

I think China always opposes any kind of military confrontation, that's the reason why China's top diplomats are trying to deliver more messages to the international community that China will support any kind of diplomatic efforts to help ease the situation. -Dr. Cui Hongjian
Russia believes that the U.S. and NATO have not been sincere and taking Russia's request seriously. These requests are legally binding guarantees to not expand NATO, to remove the strike weapons, and to return to the 1997 Russia-NATO Founding Act. - @AKorybko
