Aukus will cost Australia $368bn. What if there was a better, cheaper defence strategy?
As questions swirl around the nuclear submarine deal, some strategists are pushing for an alternative, ‘echidna’ policy that focuses less on offensive capability

The fact this young man was allegedly stealing food meant he was hungry
A disabled 24yr Australian man - wealthiest country in the world, resources-wise - was hungry
Let that sink in
If we address that fact it might go a long way to solving deaths in custody

An uncomfortable truth: police already know about many offenders who murder women
Guardian Australia has asked every police jurisdiction how it assesses risk in family violence offenders to get a better understanding of how the system should work

Why are Liberals such a menace behind the wheel?
Every campaign stop is a demolition derby.
If you see a Liberal van coming, maybe for your own safety, just pull over and let the chaos pass.

The Coalition’s out here pledging $90M for domestic violence, like we forgot they cut $44M from shelters, $64M from legal aid, and pulled funding from Indigenous family violence programs. You don’t get to torch the place then show up with a hose and call yourself a hero

Law & order is a state issue. The federal police only get involved in visa issues, border security and international scams - that sort of thing.
Not gang related crimes & break & enters.
Dutton knows that. This is such a beat up.

Dutton seeks a fear campaign.
Gets desperately irrational instead.
Claims he will increase public service jobs to fight crime,
While simultaneously cutting 41,000 public service jobs,
To pay for $600B in nukes.
