Hey @tedcruz, I’ve spent months travelling around several Australian states, where Covid deaths are practically zero and where people are happy, healthy, and free. Your ignorance is astounding.
My review of Title Fight by Paul Cleary @pgcleary. An excellent and important book that makes us rethink what we know about Andrew Twiggy Forrest and Fortescue Metals. lnkd.in/gJkiCgFG

I worked with Louise @Milliganreports in the Melbourne bureau of The Australian. She was then, and remains, a great reporter with integrity and courage, unlike the snivelling editorialist who wrote this revolting bile today. theaustralian.com.au/comment…
