The government's persecution of whistleblowers Richard Boyle and David McBride is unjust, and the public doesn't support it. It's time for much-needed reform.

The Nationals are the great survivors of Australian politics. This election only increased their power.

The AFR's attack on the changes to how super will be taxed is glorious. In this example, they cite someone going from a super balance of $3.5m to $4m.
And having to pay $18,750 (3.75%) in tax on that $500,000. "Ouch"
They also make it clear the person did NOTHING to earn an extra $500,000
