Fellow Australian, I even find myself wording things from the perspective that I am from the US by accident. I feel so part of the discourse thanks to technology and my line of work that I forget these aren't always my problems.

Australian politics has been pretty boring of late.

While not as polarising as a Jim Jordan or Ted Cruz, people like Christopher Pyne and Paul Keating made Australian politics mildly interesting. We seem to have two very centrist parties right now which is a welcome change.

I have to say the Australien Government has been producing some superb videos:

Don't jinx it, I don't like the guy but I'm looking forward to an Australian prime minister lasting a full term in office. 2007-2016 aus politics was a blood sport, make politics boring again.

I also wish for that as a west Aussie, but I can't help but feel with the climate crisis the way it is, we're going to have more and more pressures on top officials (the bush fire saga with Morrison comes to mind, that was an embarrassment).

I was surprised to see Michael McCormack in charge this week. I always thought Morrison was acting PM?

I’ll get my coat.
