Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

“Ride a bike, play some footy” is not neutral advice. It assumes time, safety, bodies that work, communities that welcome you. Plenty of kids have none of those things.

This comment under Tim Dunlop's excellent article on the social media ban is spot on.
The social media ban is highly reactionary (& a result of a wedge) and is 'neat, plausible & wrong'

Rowland confirmed on Sunday she would repay part of the almost $22,000 cost for the travel, first reported by the Australian Financial Review last week. The move makes her the first minister to repay taxpayer funds in the growing expenses scandal. Continue reading...

The claim: “We do not have a gas supply problem. We have a gas export problem.”

Coalition members including leader Sussan Ley, Andrew Bragg and Matt Canavan have voiced alarm at the looming 10 December commencement, despite the opposition waving through parliament legislation that specified the date and the party’s former leader Peter Dutton championing the ban.
