Superb. Damien is bureau chief for the Australian office of the NY Times, now living in Sydney with his family. The same guy who realised what was unique about Australia through his kids joining the local surf lifesaving club. What he found is (I think) another thing we likely picked up in part from indigenous Australians, without even realising. The thing the modern LNP is trying to destroy by importing an American and UK political libertarianism of 'aspiration'. Which will destroy Australia, as it is destroying them.
