We need more articles in defence of the massive, positive contribution immigration has made to Australia. A contribution that will become all the more essential over this & coming decades. Our prosperity, diversity, hopefully tolerance & humanity all boosted by people settling here. Reject racism

Good riddance to privateer Mike Baird from Cricket Australia. A failed record, both here & as NSW Premier, of Thatcherite ideology & gifts of public assets to big end of town. Not fit for any public office

The only effective & equitable control of our excessive emissions has been the Gillard Labor Govt’s 2012 price on carbon, enacted with the Greens. Erased by Abbott in 2014, returning to sham ‘carbon credits’ ever since, doing nothing to curb our global pollution, enabling greedy miners
