In the case of Antoinette Lattouf vs the ABC, the national broadcaster is airing its institutional bias to the world. It's a strange choice.

Independents are legitimate candidates with as much right to stand for a seat as any party member.

They should be reported as serious candidates who are offering something voters may want.

They’re not challenging the natural order, they are the natural order.

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

This Parliament has not passed bills addressing the homelessness and rental crises, and other cost of living issues.

But the major parties colluded this week on legislation increasing their own public funding, and making it harder for independents to be elected.

Priorities.
