Alas, very much this.

We should have started to move away under Bush, I remember wheb Bush was adrsssibg parliment and they banned Bob Briwn. An elexted Australian Senator, banned from neing in parliament ? That was the last straw for me

The first red flag was the dodgy US shit around Whitlams sackng and US interference, let alone the endless shit fuckery th US has been up to since the 1950s.

Fuck it, Vote Green
