Shame Labor shame: New powers to cancel Centrelink payments before conviction pass the senate

Australia’s longest and deadliest conflict is no longer deniable. The Australian Wars gathers generations of research and testimony into one defining volume — and makes clear that the truth is here. Time to reckon with it. #FrontierWars #TruthTelling #TheAustralianWars #PearlsandIrritations
Massacres, memory and the Memorial: facing our most deadly war
The evidence is overwhelming – Australia’s Frontier Wars were real, deadly, and long, and a landmark new book lays it out in full. So when will the Australian War Memorial fully face the truth?

If Australia is to remain a confident, modern democracy, then the executive must be accountable to the people, not to the Crown, nor to Cabinet secrecy. If Australia is to flourish, we cannot remain bound to a system built on inherited habits rather than choices made. #auspol #republic #democracy
Only a republic can reverse executive power creep
A democratic republic would end the structural uncertainties that allowed both the Whitlam dismissal and Scott Morrison's many ministries, as well as bringing the Australian people into a new constitutional relationship.
