Whitlam’s legacy is one of possibility and hope. He showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.
Whitlam showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like. And 50 years later, you have to wonder – is it even possible to make Australia brave again?

Andrew Hastie: soldier for an extreme version of governing by Christ
Andrew Hastie is a more extreme Fundamentalist Christian than Scott Morrison. Australians cannot let his attempts to lead the nation go unchallenged. His place on the ARC Board is a warning.

Hard to understand a govt that thinks a News Corp campaign is good policy
Hard to understand a govt that blocks teenagers from social media but has *no* issue with them accessing online gambling platforms at all, or with them being bombarded with ads for online gambling.
Australia’s teen social media ban has a gaming-sized loophole
The list of banned platforms requires mental gymnastics that the government has struggled to explain, and ignores where kids actually spend their time.

Inevitably, unstoppably, right-wing populism must eventually target women. Nothing challenges male privilege like women asserting their own rights and their own agency — in relationships, in families, and in the workplace.
