A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/JvDN3S7Cqloca

This extinction is not just a statistic: it’s the silencing of a species, a permanent erasure of unique evolutionary history.

On this matter, when we get invaded by a foreign nation (again), just remember, that nation won’t have to abide by International Human Rights Law, because Crisafulli said so.
They can suspend the state’s Human Rights Act, because he just did.

Greg Sheridan piles on the Murdoch delusions
While Paul Kelly has written wisely about Donald Trump, many of his Murdoch colleagues appear discombobulated by the real estate developer’s return to the US presidency. Who can blame them? They’re not alone.

The Liberal party now only holds two seats previously held by its leaders - Wannon (Fraser) and Cook (Morrison). Voters comprehensively rejected it. The question is - will Labor?

We are about to find out whether the Labor government has the bravery to govern without the approval of right-wingers.

In Australia, it's legal to lie in a political ad.
In the next few months, we will endure another federal election campaign with unfiltered exposure to lies and disinformation, UNLESS the Government passes truth in political advertising laws, which 87% of Australians support.
