“The Americans are very good at seduction, they make people feel important and unfortunately our politicians are not immune from it,” Ms Vallentine said.
This is a good point in general this ex-senator has brought up. Australians should be alert to it with this AUKUS deal. If we’re to have it, then we need to keep level heads about the interests of our American friends.
Also, have the councillora and executives heard of video chats? Give that a go, any serious questions can be answered through that.
Maybe Perth councillors are better, but here in Brisbane our councillors regularly go on trips overseas to places with good urbanism. And yet when they return home any time someone suggests we do good urbanism here, they call it “socialism” and “downgrades”. They literally learn nothing from their trips.
I’ve no idea. Sometimes our councillors run off to view Russian “elections” though! :)
