Children overboard was not simply a “miscommunication”. A Senate inquiry found Peter Reith deceived Australians and Cabinet blocked key staff from giving evidence, Marianne Van Galen Dickie and Andrew Bartlett write. #auspol #Refugees Parliament of Australia

End AUKUS. The US military is destabilizing the world and spreading violence, all headed by a bunch of Trump's true weirdos fighting culture wars.

And from the man, himself: 😐

Text box #1:
(Sitting as a headline, in a superposition, to #2)

During the Whitlam years, the government cut costs by getting MPs to travel economy class, which provoked outrage in Cabinet. Gough famously rounded on his ministers...

Text box #2:
(containing Whitlam's image in lower right corner)

"I fly economy and I am a great man, and I could fly economy for the rest of my life and I'd still be a great man. But most of the people around this table are pissants and they could fly first class for the rest of their lives and they'd still be pissants."
- Gough Whitlam.

"In the eyes of the state, a 94-year-old human rights lawyer is a dangerous terrorist supporter." This is precisely where Australia is headed if the PM's Special Envoy for the Israel Lobby* Jillian Segal continues to guide domestic policy. [*not her official job title, but the reality.] #auspol

This sort of fall takes house prices back to where they were only a few years ago, when the headlines were about the insane unaffordability. It's the more expensive homes (already over inflated) which are experiencing a drop - the lower end of the market has barely moved.

Shoebridge and the Greens have the platform to prosecute an affordability argument. Lean into that. No point in making Greens supporters angrier. Gotta translate that to people who don't already identify as Greens. #auspol

Watching the Yanks desperately trying to get the vote out for the mid-terms and advising folks of their rights as voters - makes me SO grateful for the AEC. Tweaks I'd make - four year terms and fixed election date. Stop the endless media fixation and political opportunism.

The Knesset (Israel's parliament) elections panel has voted overwhelmingly to exclude all the Arab majority parties from participating in the upcoming national election. The decision will be reviewed by the Supreme Court. We couldn't possibly suggest that this sounds a little like apartheid.
