There is no mystery to #Labor’s emergence as the default party of govt in our post-duopoly #Auspol. It's the party most willing to see Australia as it is. The #Coalition is not a viable alternative while it emits regional-based grievances such as #climatechange

Time and again the smallness of intra-& inter-party politics has got in the way of #Australia achieving big things, especially on #climate action. Australia should have become a #renewables global powerhouse & yet this endless struggle has repeatedly got in the way #Auspol

The #Coalition is done. It might formally remain in place for the rest of this term, but it is destined to be a dead weight, hampered by infighting and a misreading of Australia’s evolving political environment. #Auspol

Impartiality, as far as the #BBC is concerned, is about PR, optics and managing the anger of certain groups, rather than following the evidence and championing robust journalism – no matter who’s angered, no matter how it looks. #DoctorsUnderAttack #Gaza theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remember: Peter Lalor was removed from #SEN’s coverage midway through the tour of Sri Lanka in February. The decision followed his social media activity around the conflict in #Gaza, including reposts of news articles about #Israeli airstrikes & the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Tennis fans will be talking about this final for years: just as they savor the 1980 Wimbledon final, won by Borg over McEnroe; or the 2008 Wimbledon final, won by Nadal over Federer; or the 2012 Australian Open final, won by Djokovic over Nadal. #SinnerAlcaraz
