Air Date: Tue 18 Nov 2025

ALL WAS GOING GREAT, UNTIL AFTER THE LAST COMMERCIAL BREAK, AS THE CHEAP SEAT WRAP UP WAS SUPPOSED TO COME, THE SCREEN DISPLAYED A TECHNICIAN PANEL OF WHAT TO PLAY, THEN THE AMERICAN FBI TRASH SHOW (WELL-MADE BUT FORMULATED TRASH) CAME ON — THUS PANIC AT CHANNEL 10, SYDNEY...

MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER CHANNELS, THE PSYCHE OF AUSSIELAND WAS STUDIED IN DEEP DETAILS... STILL A FEW EPISODE OF RACHEL'S IDEA OF AUSTRALIA TO COME... WHATIZNAME ABBOTT'S PROGRAM WAS AS WHITE AS WHITEY POSSIBLE, WITH SOME DEVIATION AS NOT TO APPEAR TOO WHITE...

MEANWHILE, ANNABEL TELLS US ALL ABOUT OUR CIVIC DUTY, POSSIBLY "THE BEST IN THE WORLD", WHILE SITTING ON THE FENCE OF POLITICAL CHOICE. CAN'T BE FAIRER THAN THIS, WHILE THE "OPPOSITION" HAS ABANDONED NET ZERO....

YOURDEMOCRACY.NET RECORDS HISTORY AS IT SHOULD BE — NOT AS THE WESTERN MEDIA WRONGLY REPORTS IT — SINCE 2005.
