The NACC's decision to not investigate robodebt seemed wrong to everyone but them.

It's taken too long to correct the error. Geoffrey Nettle AC KC’s review should be public & the Commissioner should reconsider his position to rebuild public trust in the NACC.

One of the key differentiators for me has been the focus on good policy over clever politics amongst the new crop of independents. The Greens are frustratingly focused on political optics over policy; the majors more so.

Has anyone in the media figured out that he’s an ‘effective opposition leader’ just like Abbott was in tearing down things but hopeless at actually running anything?

Care, whether of our kids or elders, is what economists call a ‘fragile product’. Turning it over to for-profit markets puts a lot at risk: the quality of care, outcomes for those in care, value for money, working conditions. Care should be in public hands for public good.

But a trending/what’s hot🔥component would be great!
