    Bemused that @AlexanderDowner claims his family are "nation builders". The man who sicced ASIS onto Timor Leste to help Woodside, who slavishly sent Australia into the Iraq catastrophe, would seem to know far more about trying to destroy nations than building thempic.twitter.com/hGqeR1WydD

        It should be pointed out to @AlexanderDowner that his family's 'Nation Building' was not in 'their' blood but in the blood of countless Aborigines. Time that record was set straight & taught in all schools. #auspol

        His actions with Woodside were shameful. It can never be forgotten. His legacy will always be remembered by building his own interests not Australia's. #auspol
