@DHughesy@aaronsmith Imagine you two meeting up for a beer and posting a pic. What a great ending to an often entertaining saga. Could be the start of a beautiful friendship...
Here is Major General Michael Smith's full paper. In half a century of journalism, it is the most important thing I've been involved in publishing.
How should Australia defend itself in the 21st century? Please read it. https://t.co/lHjDF7nB7N
“The time has come for those who say they rely on the ABC to stand up and be counted”. @KerryOBrien on democracy, misinformation, trust, and the ABC. Please watch and retweet. @abcalumni#AusPol2022#Vote1ABC
What's happening in aged care in this country right now is horrifying. After two years of a pandemic, despite more than a year of vaccine availability, and despite an actual Royal Commission, vulnerable older Australians are dying, alone, uncared for, locked in rooms
Highly paid politicians have decided for themselves they should get free rapids while essential workers, people in low paid and insecure work, and basically everyone else can cope with next to no supply at outrageous, unregulated prices.
Just amazing.
All the Twitterati with hot takes that "Labor should do this ..." miss the fact that hostile media will take any actual vision and create a wedge that will lose Labor the election (again). A viable strategy has to keep the left while appealing to enough of the middle & right.
Reminder that more than three years ago the coalition government had a robust electric vehicle policy…before Morrison junked it…and then last week tried to revive it.
Jacq, nearly 140,000 people have died in the UK. More than 8 million have been infected. Many of them will suffer for years. Obsessing? This is a pretty cruel for the victims and their loved ones.
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.
14 men have lost their lives due to the cruelty of indefinite detention. Refugees we had a moral & legal duty to protect from harm. This cruelty must end. Sign the petition from the men in detention calling for their long overdue freedom after 8 yrs, here https://t.co/4WKMXKrEKt
This is me at 10. When I grew up, I wanted to be like my mum. In Australia, 10 year olds can still be jailed. The public are still watching, we’re still calling for the age of legal responsibility to be raised to at least 14 years of age.

Still don’t get why bike-lanes need to be separated, with real protected bike infrastructure, & why paint isn’t real infrastructure since “paint doesn’t protect?” Watch this great before-&-after video of Lansdowne Street in #Melbourne via @MelbourneWay https://t.co/N0lDy5OYB3
