Democracy isn’t being corrupted in some dark back room anymore. It has a lanyard, a Parliament House pass, an expense account and a job title. Lobbyists now vastly outnumber the politicians we actually elected. We professionalised corruption! #auspol

They're not politicians, but critics say they wield real power in Canberra
Inside Parliament House, hundreds of lobbyists freely roam the corridors advocating for corporate interests. Critics say it's a problem.

For those Victorians who support a Royal Commission into the CFMEU, it would not have been necessary if One Nation hadn’t backflipped on the Ensuring Integrity Bill in 2019. #insiders #auspol

The 'Ensuring Integrity Bill' that Pauline Hanson defeated kept the CMFEU rorts rolling - Michael West
The CFMEU’s conduct has been known for a long time, and could have been stopped in 2019, but wasn’t. Politics and Pauline Hanson stopped it.

Cartoonist scourge. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Image of man’s face in Russian hat with red and gold badge, in vignette surrounded by text. Title: “Exiled Russian cartoonist murdered in Poland” text: “Last week a Russian cartoonist (Robert Kuzovkov, aka Semyon Scripetsky) exiled in Poland was murdered (allegedly) by two Belarusians. His satirical cartoons criticised Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, among others. A friend of his said “I kept telling him: ‘Mate, they’re going to come for you!’ Eventually there was no point - he was completely reckless and stubborn.”
It must be acknowledged that cartoonists are a scourge. They seek to get in the way of autocrats and murderers just going about their business, and cause unwarranted discomfort and offence. They must be reined in! Obviously we do not endorse killing them. Simply breaking their pencils or making them wear an unflattering hat should do. We can’t have them making our leaders look bad.”
