Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

As a former governance director, this is infuriating. Good governance is the essential contract between government and the electorate. Faking good governance is what untrustworthy politicians do. If we lose faith in our political institutions, what will this mean for our nation?
More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them.
Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder.

Fair territory representation is Labor’s own policy, yet the Govt has walked away from its promise of an inquiry.
The Senate should ensure smaller jurisdictions have a democratic voice. But the Territories are underrepresented.
Govt should keep its word.
