His government was on such a path that it needed to be reined in by the CIA and MI5.
And ever since then, every government has stuck to the narrative proscribed for it by the US/UK. Imagine if we had one that said no, we're going our own way. I can't even imagine it.
That quote is really funny :)
Thanks Sue.
Yes imagine if we had been stronger and not had a weasel such as Fraser to come in and screw it all up.
Yeah. I can't imagine it. I guess we wouldn't be the rich country we are now if we'd gone down that track. They would have interfered with our elections and fucked us over and indebted us and got us onto some IMF and World Bank loans we could never pay back.
So weird how in the last years of his life I felt real affection for Malcolm Fraser though. Just goes to show how shittily centrist/rightward/draconian our governments are now that his commonsense comments on asylum seekers etc made him sound like a screaming raving pinko.
God it all just feels DOOMED today haha! Must go off now and dredge up some hope for change from out the bottom of the toilet,
