Rick Morton’s high school modern history teacher taught him critical thinking, which stood him in good stead as a journalist. More than two decades later, he had a chance to repay her, in a distressing confrontation with the NDIS.

Have you seen Josh Johnson’s video about him? One of the best analyses I’ve seen and delivered with intelligence and humour. It’s so good I had to rewatch it.

It's almost like building a digital town square and letting it fall under the control of a narcissistic billionaire with an obvious political agenda was a bad idea. Who knew? Hello, fellow Xpats, it seems better here.
