Few scandals better illustrate the cost of government secrecy than robodebt.
But the newly proposed FOI bill will make it harder for the public to scrutinise the government and easier for secrecy to prevail

Australia's FOI system is broken, but proposed reforms miss the mark
This proposed bill risks doubling down on the very problems it should be fixing.

Why would anyone want to get relations ‘back on track’ with a nation committing genocide?

'Back on track'? Why that's the wrong question on Israel
After all we've seen in Gaza, when do we stop pretending that Israel has any moral authority to criticise any other nation state?

NEW: We are suing the former director of the H Street Community Development Corporation.
We allege he misused $1.25 million in nonprofit funds through unauthorized bonuses.
Funds that were meant to support H Street were illegally diverted for personal gain. We are fighting to get them back.

Pretty clear that Keir Starmer has completely surrendered the domestic political agenda to Nigel Farage.
Whoever’s advised or validated him that pandering to Farage will beat Farage needs to be sacked and never heard from again.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Srsly ABC News?! Minimum reporting on Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza but there's lengthy ABC coverage of Kim Kardashian giving evidence in a court case?! ABC News sinks further into tabloid trash gossip mag clickbait journalism. Sadly, it's on a par with NewsCorp now. 😔 #JournalismMatters

Aside from the increased attacks by the LNP this election (they really don't like their power disrupted) - the other stand out for me this election has been that LNP are acting like every single issue we face started on 21 May 2022!!
And even worse - they're enabled to get away with it!!! #auspol
