We can appreciate how Gladys Berejiklian would have felt reluctant to confess her lengthy affair but, in retrospect, and in the light of ICAC's revelations, most of us can see it would have been the wiser course of action. Perhaps one good thing our politicians have done for us in recent days is to demonstrate the long-term advantages of telling the truth. It is our Aussie way of not being forthright and making light of the sadness in our hearts and the pain in many of our collective backsides. So, Mr French President, we have nicknamed him "Scotty from Marketing". However, it really just comes down to US President's Biden's salient and simple assessment: "Clumsy." He is often "clumsy" with the actual status of any particular matter under consideration. He may at times be disingenuous, he may prevaricate, manipulate our understanding of the issues, refocus our attention away from situational reality, be misleading or be transparently deceptive. He exerts repetitive efforts to divert attention away from any negative impacts, so that we won't have adverse mental imaging about the state of our nation. For us he regularly seems to present a managed presentation of perceptions by providing diversionary interpretations through a process of reframing. We of course recognise that our Mr Scott Morrison is frequently very economical with verifiable factualness. So, Monsieur President Emmanuel Macron, you "know" that our Prime Minister is a "liar"! We Australians haven't had the Gallic bluntness to be this confrontational, given our defamation laws.
