It was so well known that Richardson demanded sex workers in payment for services that when ICAC officers served a subpoena on him they waited in the lobby of the Sheraton in Sydney. Richardson had gone to a room with two sex workers & as he was leaving was served.

When politicians disrupt SNAP, they endanger 5 million older adults in the program. A huge number of people living with Alzheimer's disease or a related cause of dementia will go hungry. If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention

Constant protest gridlock in the CBD is symptom of how Melbourne has lost its way
Melbourne’s long lockdowns created mental scars, a fractured trust and a polarisation that continue to be Daniel Andrews’ lasting legacy.
