Reference :- As troops withdraw from Afghanistan , some of the local people are afraid of being left behind .

Reference :-  Public figures on both sides of politics want to expedite the processing of visas for those who helped us in Afghanistan . 

I mentioned this to the lads at the Sky Reply .   Monte wanted to know why we only have two sides to politics , and why politics isn't multifaceted .   Gabbo reminded him that corporations can only afford to buy two political parties , which is why we don't get the choice in politics that we do when we go to buy breakfast cereal .   

Anyway , the point is that Sky icon Alan Jones once again interviewed a senior Labor politician and praised her for her position on the Afghanistan  issue .  Jonesie was genuinely concerned for the safety of those we may leave behind and strongly reminded us of our absolute duty to protect them . 

The lads at the Sky Reply expressed alarm at the thought that those who helped us in Afghanistan might come to harm at the hands of the Taliban .   Of course Jonesie's cohort of followers  don't care a fig what happens to some foreigner and his family in the middle east , and once again poor Jonesie scored mostly thumbs down in the predictably vile comments. 

I tried to console the lads by telling them that as with the droughts , the fires , the floods and the vaccine roll out  , we could trust our  PM , Mr Morrison , to deliver on his promise to save those in need . 

The lads were unconvinced , so I reminded them that Peter Dutton will also be  assisting the PM with his decisions . 

"If I was a translator in Afghanistan who had helped our forces and was desperate for asylum , I would feel nothing but relief when I heard that Mr Morrison and Mr Dutton had prioritised my application",  I said . 

The lads walked out of the room , for some reason .
