The 9pm Vision for Australia
Australia\u2019s former Prime Minsister Gough Whitlam is dead. Politicians across the political spectrum praise Whitlam as a man of vision, but how does the current mob stand up? And yesterday was International Fisting Day. What did you do to celebrate?
Elephant stamps of approval go to an Australians this time: Bronwyn Bishop, Speaker of the House of Representatives, for her rumour-based security process; and Senator Jacqui Lambie, for confusing outrageous movie-plot ideas with reality.
We received two listener comments! In my response, I referred to some things I\u2019ve discussed previously in Berners-Lee, Silicon Valley, and Australia\u2019s cultural cringe and And the digital Antoinettes cried \u2018Unemployed? Let them cut code\u2019 and iPhone, therefore I am \u2026a selfish disruptor and Enjoy your Ubergasm, but don\u2019t expect respect in the morning.
And we refer to videos including the 1972 campaign song It\u2019s Time, tributes to Gough Whitlam by Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull, and Will.I.Am\u2019s launch video for i.am/PULS.
