Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s claim to be uniting the Russian people is just another of his lies. Western powers must stop his murderous march on Ukraine, Piers Akerman writes.
Pulling the plug on the Eraring plant — one of the state’s largest electricity sources — is the latest damaging folly from woke virtue-signalling politician Matt Kean, Piers Akerman writes.
