My column this week is about how even the most basic Covid precautions have been stood down, leaving clinically vulnerable people trapped in their homes and accelerating what threatens to become a major surge this autumn.

I didn't invade & colonise Australia 230 years ago. I didn't kill Indigenous landowners who had lived on & cared for these lands for at least 65,000 years. But when I #VoteYes, I will be part of today's Australia. One that wants to listen & repair harm & recognise what's true.

Israel's Gaza blockade: An indefinite cage for Palestinians
