Greatly saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon Stephen Charles AO KC.

He was extraordinarily generous with his time and expertise in championing accountability and transparency.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and his colleagues at the Centre for Public Integrity.

May 26 is National Sorry Day.

We reflect on the recommendations in the Bringing Them Home report, and we have hope that the reforms in the Uluru Statement From the Heart will be borne out to shape an Australia for all Australians.

Well, no one was expecting that result, not even Labor!

Join @shejedi.bsky.social, @docbaty.bsky.social and a rehabilitated former Liberal as they consider the immediate aftermath of the election.

In 1977, Don Chipp had a vision to offer Australian voters the choice to support a party with a difference. Today is our birthday. We're still here, and we're still living the same values Don envisioned

In the interests of transparency and accountability we have to report that the people’s watchdog had a slow start this morning, but we got there in the end 😂

Elana met Linda today at pre-poll. Linda set up our very first WA branch in Subiaco back in 1977.

She told Elana, “I was protesting uranium mining in the 70s, now I’m protesting fracking in the Kimberley. I'm furious I still have to protest this stuff.”

A message from WA State President Lisa Griffiths on this penultimate day of the election, on why she pours her time and energy into the Australian Democrats (spoiler: she cares. And she wants better for Australia).

The first in a series of episodes where @shejedi.bsky.social takes listeners through the logical groupings of 30+ Australian Democrats policy platforms, starting with the cost of living.

Credit to the redoubtable @gomichild.bsky.social for the episode quote.

The world mourns a truly great man. Vale #PopeFrancis
We extend our sympathies to the Catholic community in the death of His Holiness Pope Francis. He will be remembered for his humility, wisdom, compassion, unstinting advocacy on behalf of vulnerable and marginalised people, and his calls for urgent attention to the climate crisis

What happens when your budget review gets taken over by an election? You talk about both things of course.

Elana, Steve and Heath discuss the election budget we had to have.
