Iran is a threat in two dimensions. One is kinetic. The other is as a proselytiser of hate. This war will likely deal with the kinetic threat for a few years but merely hopes that Iranians will somehow stop the nation spreading hate. Hope is not enough. You can't kill ideas. And those inspired by hate know how to use asymmetric warfare. So not many years from now they will express that hate by sending kids in suicide bombing vests onto buses, while trying to rebuild a state that can build ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. We get to see this who sad shitshow again in 20 or 30 years.

Years ago I met a chap who worked at 2GB, who said execs at the station really wished Kyle Sandilands would get over his celebrity and music biz obsessions because he was clearly the best candidate to become a right wing talkback demagogue. If he gets the boot, I predict that's his next arc - starting with vile podcasts

@willie1foot Yeah, nah. Stan knew his ceiling. Kyle still thinks he belongs in Hollywood

Family member who worked in the mining industry and always voted LNP (except in 1972) just told me they voted ALP this time - disgusted with LNP rightward drift and policy incompetence
