Hi Hanks,
Many thanks for your comment. I am very pleased that I can help you, as a newbie. Welcome to Australia and to Melbourne. I hope you will get the chance soon to explore Melbourne and Victoria some more, once the pandemic has passed by.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Your podcasts and your websites are very useful when I am living in Melbourne as a newbie here for 2 years. Those help me not only learning English but also understanding of Australian society and history… I will read and hear all things what you are writing and improving. Thank you a lot. Hope see you soon in Melbourne.
Have a good day
Hanks

Hi Ignacio,
Many thanks for your comment. The issue of independence for territories is most interesting and is very relevant in other countries too, such as the United Kingdom where they recently voted regarding Scotland’s future. I assume that the Scottish vote was observed very closely by all those in Spain.
Have a great day.

Hi, Rob

In Spain we also have a territorio divided into 17 “comunidades autónomas” plus two ” ciudades autonomas” in the north of África. Bu there the territorios make most of the decisiones in health care and education, thoug the general laws are made in teh central government in Madrid. Besides we have what are called “Historic communities”, two of them wanted to become independent, the Basque Country and Cataluña, though this is not desierto by all the population, but it is by a good number of their citizens. The question is: should they make the decisión by themselve or all the spanish have the right to decide as it will change the future os the state? By the way, I am a basque living in Andalucia and I have no an clear opinión.
Greetings and thank you.
