Really sad how useless ABC political "analysis" has become. This piece claims concerns about the hate speech legislation are predicated on "misinformation" and strongly takes the view it was good, uncontroversial lawmaking.

Labor says Dutton’s public service cuts are from the ‘DOGE’ handbook. Here’s where jobs could go
Just 7000 new public service jobs have been created in Canberra under Labor, forcing the Coalition to cut 34,000 jobs from the rest of Australia or gut the capital.
