You need to listen more and talk less when you’re around Indigenous voices and cultural knowledge holders.

Editorial: Monique Ryan’s bill would stop ministers and senior staff from working as lobbyists for three years after they leave politics. It would reveal who lobbyists meet and force ministers to publish their diaries. The reforms are simple and effective and will not pass. satpa.pe/4mKuCFY
A poodle is a dog
Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

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.

I find the words from Attorney-General Michelle Rowland, conflating her religious beliefs with her role as Australia's Attorney-General, to be dangerous, disturbing, shallow and ignorant. #auspol #auslaw #religion
At the Christian prayer breakfast this week, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said that the “principles and values that Jesus lived by underpin the role of Australia’s first law officer” and claimed that “our values and faith” guide lawmakers. Read more: rationalist.com.au/australias-a...

You may be breathing in pollutants right now but you wouldn’t know it. That's because Australia doesn't monitor indoor air to scientifically acceptable standards. A new Academy report to be launched today explores the policy pathways to improve indoor air quality.

Do not discount Aboriginal oral histories. They are often the only record of historical events like these, volcanoes and other major disruptions to life in Australia before colonisation, and can go back thousands of years with an accuracy that is unknown elsewhere.
