dear Australia

i recall distinctly,on at least 3 occasions
various commentators/television presenters,whom i deeply respect,on SKY TV
emphatically state,without compunction

'we are doing better than New Zealand'
regarding,handling CV
as far as i know not 1 Kiwi was silly enough to say that
USA boastful attitude as far as i was concerned at the time
Trans Tasma rivalry for sport yes
most other things,i dont think so

look,@ your Victoria now,your other states over the last few months Aus
to me,nothing to be proud of
extended restrictions ror weeks/months too long

i am thinking the larger a country,the more pigheaded arrogance by supposed leaders of people,who adopt/project a self righteous attitude
and try to project there will on others
look at the USA/UK

A survey of PhD students in Australia suggests that many are facing dire financial situations in the wake of the pandemic. Of the 1,020 students at the University of Sydney who responded to the survey, three-quarters anticipate financial hardship, and 45% expect to be forced to suspend or withdraw from their studies in the next six months owing to lack of funds. Almost one-fifth of the respondents said they can’t afford necessities such as medicines and utilities bills, or expect to face those financial struggles within six months.
