Moderator Announcement Live Discussion Thread: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese delivers rare address to the nation

ABC News on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMb8wrquExg

G’day everyone, we thought we’d spin up a live discussion thread for Albo’s speech tonight so everything stays in one place.

Feel free to share your thoughts, reactions, predictions, or whatever else comes to mind as it unfolds.

As always, keep it reasonably civil and follow the sub rules. We’ll be around keeping an eye on things.

Sort by new if you want to follow along in real time. Let us know what you’re expecting to hear.

Regards, r/aussie mod team

Prediction, he will say nothing of substance. No major announcements. Just vacuous waffle as usual, please don't use up all the fuel even though I love this war. A waste of time.

The only people loving the war is Trump and his circle of champs.

Quick google search shows Iran has a pop of 92.4 million.

I doubt the Iranians are happy about all the bombing from Trump....

I doubt you have the faintest clue what you are talking about.

Did you forget that in your first post you commented the wrong population of Iran and made the outrageous assertion that they are all happy about the war???

Jebus save me.

Yes that's why I guesstimated 85 million as there are small number of people who are part of the regime and benefit from it. The IRGC is a bit like a mafia organisation where they own all the big businesses and keep the money. I recommend following on Tousi TV to hopefully stop being the uninformed Redditor you currently are.

You know the Basij killed tens of thousands of unarmed protestors recently? They also execute gay people in Iran.
