Not disagreeing with any of that.

The entire point of Highway to Hell - Back in Black was to refine the sound to break them in the US.

It worked. No matter what anyone thinks of it, it worked.
I don't think it's as simple as that they trod the boards in the states for quite awhile before H2H it was a build, Cold Chisel for example were the complete opposite they had no appetite to put the work in & gave up after 3 weeks.

It was both

They put the time in on the road but the music was still not considered polished enough for mainstream rock radio

That American record label didn't want another album with Vanda/young producing. They wanted a big name American producer.

That 'polish' is what turns people off those 80's albums tbh then you have american musicians that are more drawn to the Vanda/Young sound. I mean it's a double edge thing for instance I prefer Bleach & In Utero to Nevermind because it's too slick and over-produced.

What's normal?
First up it will be universal condemnation, then a few weeks later it will be made into political football for all sides of the spectrum while nothing changes and nothing gets settled, while the government and opposition across the board just continues on its merry way spending our money on themselves and driving inflation while contributing nothing to the worst issues in the world.

It's all very tiresome.

Hatred breeds more hatred breeds more hatred.

Nothing good will come of this. Rednecks and Neo-Nazi's will get worse because of it, and potentially violently target members of immigrant communities. Which will then stir up extremist elements of those communities to respond in kind. And it becomes tit for tat.

The whole thing is just sad.

A Kiwi ABC senior reporter at Bondi Beach. Been home away from home for Kiwi's the last 50+ years.

No wonder NZ PM in his short statement said - ..... I am shocked by the distressing scenes at Bondi, a place Kiwis visit everyday. .........

Second worst mass shooting in our history.
That's if you ignore shooting of indigenous Australians, both pre and post 1st January 1901.
 
7 News reporting the hero at Bondi is Ahmed el Ahmed a fruit shop owner in Sutherland who got shot in the leg it was his hand resting on his leg that was bleeding, and the vision they showed suggested he got shot in the shoulder as well.

Edit confirmed got shot twice and is undergoing surgery.
