Well, more specifically, a question about a birthday cake. That was 1993, and little did we know that we were about to witness a the beginning of a generational change in Australian politics. Paul Keating wins the unwinnable election in 1993, in 1994 John Hewson loses a challenge to his position as opposition leader and two years later retires from politics altogether, Alexander Downer becomes Opposition Leader in 1994 with deputy Peter Costello. Unfortunately, poor polls, bad political judgement and a bad joke about domestic violence sees him step down  The things that batter. And in 1995, a resurgent John Howard takes the reigns with Costello as deputy. One of the first things Howard does is unify the party - one of Alexander Downer's most famous quotes is that he would personally kneecap anyone who undermined Howard's attempt at winning PM. Along comes 1996:...————————————Find us on Twitter at: https://www.twitter.com/letssavetheggListen to us on Anchor.FM - https://anchor.fm/letssavethegg/————————————Music by Ukulelvishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtPm4hb04r0————————————

“Our best reply to the regime is that they didn't make us bad people. That we remain focused on our dream of seeing a free Venezuela. I have seen other people become very bitter and angry and resentful. And I think they lose. Because when you become angry you become, in a way, a prisoner of a sentiment that doesn't allow you to go forward.” James Menendez speaks to Leopoldo Lopez, once the most prominent face of Venezuela's opposition, he is now living in exile in Spain. He spent more than a decade attempting to unseat Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian government and was imprisoned for over three years, accused of inciting the 2014 anti-government protests. Following the capture and arrest of Maduro by US forces in January, the country has entered a new and uncertain phase, with Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez now acting as interim leader. Leopoldo Lopez talks to us about the prospect of elections in Venezuela and the personal cost of standing up for political change.

All soldiers are recovering in stable condition and none suffered life‑threatening injuries. One soldier helped plan and lead the raid and continued fighting after being shot. Two soldiers requested keepsakes from their injuries (a bullet and shrapnel), which Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth approved as a morale gesture. Emphasis on: Heroism and discipline of U.S. forces No American fatalities despite being outnumbered Significant Cuban forces defending Maduro were reportedly killed 2. Symbolism and Morale Soldiers and their families (wives present) showed strong morale and faith. Soldiers expressed eagerness to return to duty. A former commanding officer expressed regret at missing the mission, reinforcing camaraderie and pride. 3. Meeting with Venezuelan Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado Cruz met with Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader now living in exile in the United States. Machado: Previously awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Met with President Donald Trump at the White House Symbolically presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize as gratitude for U.S. support 4. Political Situation in Venezuela Widespread celebration in Venezuela following Maduro’s removal. Some political prisoners released, though still monitored. Current acting leadership (Delcy Rodríguez) is described as illegitimate and a continuation of the Maduro regime. Machado strongly advocates for: Free and fair elections A swift election timeline (Cruz suggests within six months) 5. Bipartisan Senate Meeting Machado met with about a dozen U.S. senators, including Republicans and Democrats. Cruz praises her decision to pursue bipartisan unity instead of partisan attacks. Unity from the U.S. is portrayed as critical for Venezuela’s democratic transition. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
