Australia's old political systems are struggling to respond to new pressures. Even Question Time still operates like a two-party theater.

And what happens when the public service bosses fight back?

Today's Canberra Playbook has some answers 👇

Justin Bassi from @ASPI_org has won't be seeking a second term leading the organization - his position has been made untenable by the Australian government.

Labor sees Bassi, a former nat sec adviser to Turnbull, as too hawkish on China. Former Labor Senator @DavidIFeeney is now ASPI Acting Chair

Great reporting from @FinnianMchugh

It's not enough for Anthony Albanese merely to scribble on a journalist's arm about the WA GST deal.

He and Jodie must call their first-born Forever Deal.

@JontyTrench I believe POLITICO is in the same category as News Corp and the Guardian ie not eligible for the journalism assistance fund, if that's what you're asking.
