OPINION: Yes, you read that right – it may take a decade or so – but I’m calling it.

Facebook – the social media platform du jour for many, the one that helped bring us Trump, drove Brexit, live streamed Christchurch’s Mosque killings, the one that helped fuelled an attempted insurrection in Washington and brought traditional media to its knees while feeding us countless cat videos and so much more – is on the downward slope.

A senior Chinese diplomat has warned a New Zealand audience that Australia will not only acquire nuclear-powered submarines in the coming decades, but nuclear weapons.

And it was claimed Australia’s purchase of nuclear-powered submarines would mean “more nuclear arms race ... more nuclear tests, and nuclear pollution” in the Pacific.

Scott Morrison's visit Months ago where he says the typical fluffy dogs BS that "there are some far from here who would seek to divide us, but they will not succeed"
