Matt Canavan has done in an hour what Angus Taylor failed to do in a month Australia - the complacent country - is receiving a wake-up call on race, resilience and energy.

Australia is the most multi-ethnic, multicultural country in the developed world.
Half of us were born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas.
That’s double the proportion of the US.
To promote hate between groups is to rip the place apart.

Does Hezbollah represent Lebanon? And what impact will the death of longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah have? Israeli strikes have wiped out much of the leadership of a group that has huge influence – if not popularity – within Lebanon.

You answered your own question.
Not you, not me.
But my original point was that young boy with soft white hands would not last a day with Hezbollah.
They are thugs, committed to destroying Israel.
They are Shia Muslims, hated by Sunnis & Christian Lebanese.

Depends what the objective is- to bring freedom & equality to their people or pursuit of power and wealth.
On the basis of that argument you could say the actions of North Korea’s Kim Il-sung are valid

Yes. I had a friend, now since past who was part of the resistance.
Again my point is it is disingenuous to conflate the French resistance with Hezbollah.
As Hezbollah aims to turn Lebanon into another theocratic ruled country like Iran where women’s rights & freedoms are restricted

I dont recall the French Resistance wanting to introduce a theocratic regime that severly restricted women's rights.
The FR is not the equivalent of Hezbollah who definately would not fight for Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité for all.

Iran: Two years after ‘Woman Life Freedom’ uprising, impunity for crimes reigns supreme People in Iran continue to endure the devastating consequences of the brutal crackdown on the “Woman Life Freedom” uprising amid systematic impunity.

Its worth reading about the Women Life Freedom Movement.
And the recent protests in Iran against the regime where many lost their lives. Estimates range between 4000- 40000.

Hezbollah is funded by the Iranian regime.

Hezbollah is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Australia, Canada, the UK, and several other countries due to a long history of violence targeting civilians, foreign diplomats, and military personnel. Founded in 1982 with Iranian support, the Lebanon-based Shiite group is classified as a terrorist entity for actions including suicide bombings, hijacking, kidnappings, and international criminal activities.

Key actions leading to this designation include:
1983 Beirut Bombings: Suicide attacks on the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Marine and French barracks, which killed over 300 personnel.
International Attacks: The 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Argentina (29 killed) and the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires (85 killed).
2012 Bulgaria Bombing: A bus bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria, that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver.
Rocket Attacks on Civilians: The group has launched thousands of rockets into civilian areas in northern Israel, including during the 2006 Lebanon War and in the ongoing conflict since October 2023.
International Criminal Activity: Involvement in global drug trafficking (particularly in South America) and money laundering to fund its operations.
Military Involvement in Syria: Fighting on behalf of the Bashar al-Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War.
Ideology and Threats: The group's 1985 manifesto called for the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Iranian-style Islamic state in Lebanon.

While some countries initially distinguished between Hezbollah's political and military wings, many have since designated the entire organization as a terrorist entity.

Yes agree- but they are on record as carrying out some henious attacks and want to create an Iranian-style Islamic state in Lebanon.
Are you familiar with what life is like for women in Iran?

'A fascinating window into the past': The homes revealing how Tudor people really lived Hamnet has brought Tudor architecture and interiors to the fore. And there are plenty of houses around the UK still showcasing 16th-Century living.

The film's spare interiors and modest domestic world have resonated with audiences. The simple aesthetics of this era in English interiors – when furniture, fabrics and architecture were hand-made, locally sourced and practical.
