Yep. Media, do your fricken job
For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

With all of Greta’s privilege, she stands for what’s right every time. Every time she’s asked about herself she answers by redirecting straight to the people she’s standing up for. ‘How are you?’ ‘Better than the people in Palestine, specifically Gaza.’
