Republic debate sparks push for local power reform

Nonsense. There is no configuration of state and legislative body that makes any country automatically safe from manipulation by state capturing billionaires or Russian interference. There is a continuous work of education around this that needs doing all the time, and doing it is the only way we won't be brought down. The monarchy is pretty useless and irrelevant in this. Did they stop the UK from being taken out of the EU by far right populists? You know they did not.

Sam Kerr allegedly called police officer a ‘stupid white bastard’, source says

If true, then this is not really so terrible is it? Because nowhere in the history of a white person like this cop, do we find colonialism or racial discrimination.

I feel that yes, everyone should respect the position of a police officer, but he does not need to pretend that he was a victim of a racial offence. He, and white people in general, have no idea what it is like to be on the receiving end of racism. For a white person, white is just a word. To pretend it hurts is to be a cry baby.
