The Australian today published this column from Nick Whitlam:

The only disclosure The Australian made about Whitlam was this line at the end of his enthusiastically pro-China piece:

Thanks to reader RobertS for this glaring omission:

You are spot on Robert!

It's all laid out in the first par of Nick Whitlam's CV

Nicholas Whitlam is a non-executive director of Crescent Wealth and chairman of his family company, Whitlam & Co. He is presently involved in establishing the China-related Generations Fund.

And what is the China-related Generations Fund?

More Belt and Road.

It's a pretty glaring omission on The Australian's part to present Whitlam's pro-Communist-China propaganda, without letting us know about his pecuniary interest in 'building a harmonious world for generations to come'.

This is your bench
Where you’ll witness great joy.
From here you will rest
See the growth of our boy.
 
In The Bench, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, touchingly captures the evolving and expanding relationship between father and son and reminds us of the many ways that love can take shape and be expressed in a modern family.
 
Evoking a deep sense of warmth, connection, and compassion, The Duchess’s debut children’s book gives us a window into shared and enduring moments between a diverse group of fathers and sons—moments of peace and reflection, trust and belief, discovery and learning, and comfort and nurture.
 
Working in watercolor for the first time, Caldecott-winning, bestselling illustrator Christian Robinson expands on his signature style to bring joy and softness to the pages, reflecting the beauty of a father’s love through a mother’s eyes.  
 
With a universal message, this thoughtful and heartwarming read-aloud is destined to be treasured by families for generations to come.

Every day we read and hear about Chinese aggression. The militarisation of disputed atolls in the South China Sea certainly qualifies, albeit that it has nothing to do with Australia. (Whatever our thoughts about China’s treatment of Uighurs and the imposition of new laws in Hong Kong they are not Chinese aggression; they are internal matters, just as #MeToo, gun culture, money politics and voter suppression are matters internal to the US.) Was our banning of Huawei in 5G aggressive? Or our front-running for an independent inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus? The Chinese thought so.

Most Australians want our relations with China to be reset, for a return to civility and a restoration of some of the recently lost goodwill. National security has already been examined in the Darwin lease. So what has changed? We know the Americans were unhappy that they were not told of the deal before it closed, and we have a new defence minister. But if nothing has changed with respect to the lease, and nothing has, is it all to do with this government’s continued aggression towards China? Surely we can see that China will interpret it as such.

Nicholas Whitlam chaired the Port Authority of NSW and its predecessors from 2004 to 2018.

Honey, I shrunk the Carters?

Maybe a trip to The White House will be good for Marise?

On 4 May 1935 a Hungarian Jewish girl, Evike Goldenberg, was born.

In 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Never forget.
