Yes, Evan Gershkovich must be freed immediately. But the last person who can claim to care about freedom of the press is a certain Mr Joe Biden who could, with a stroke of his pen, end Julian Assange's incarceration for truly "shedding light on the darkness"

Lots of #Canberra Press Gallery braved the rain to hear @latingle chat with @MichaelPascoe01 about life, cancer, friendship, boarding school memories in his book Summertime of our Dreams @GrogsGamut @CanberraMuse
21 years and it still feels as horrific & debilitating as that sky blue September morning when our world changed forever. This tragedy never ends as over 4000 first responders have died & many are seriously ill #September11#NeverForget911@USEmbAustralia@jonstewart
20 years on and as raw today as it was then. No less shocking & no less violent. I know I can never let go of that first plane just feet above me, quickly turning to a fireball & destroying the world as we knew it. #911Anniversary#NeverForget#September11#911Memorial
Just marked a decade back in Australia after nearly a decade as a foreign correspondent and, have to say, feel like crying for my country. Right wing conservatism has sapped the life out of Australia, stunting its humanity, ambition and potential. Hard to be optimistic.
@NickBryantNY Well I hope he didn’t read your article in yesterday’s good weekend cos he won’t have enjoyed that! Hope you’re sure about that decision @NickBryantNY as Fortress Australia may not be quite as you remember it!
@wadhwa Oh yes @wadhwa in yr old stomping ground Canberra it’s feeling better! This time 2020 we were in masks for fires & watching the region burn. Today feels calmer & hopeful! No sign of a vaccine for Aus but the PM has changed one word of National Anthem so hope for inclusivity! HNY!
Ha, I remember how quickly those little red packets would arrive in the mail as well! Not sure the USPS could even do that today. Nice article @KonradMarshall
Over the last few months, I've learned a thing or two from the young people in our country. I figured I would return the favor by sharing with you how to make a plan to vote in this upcoming election.

Well standing outside @naagovau today sure doesn’t have any of the passion & drama of being around the corner outside Old Parliament House on 11.11.75. Missing the frisson of the masses! #auspol#palaceletters#thedismissal#onlinevsreality
We need to be physically distant, but we need to share our collective pain - great advice and advance warning of an emotional well-being crisis to look out for: https://t.co/bRHHSqZfdu via @probononews
“If you are irresponsible enough to think that you don’t mind if you get the flu, remember it’s not about you - it’s about everybody else.”
