Conflicting accounts, extraordinary claims, unanswered questions – and an extraordinarily convenient political narrative. Why didn’t journalists check the stories? The Weekly Brief from New Politics: www.newpolitics.com.au/p/why-the-fl...newpolitics.com.auWhy the FlyDubai story doesn’t add up, a Greens left turn and Australia’s politics of powerThe FlyDubai narrative deserves more scrutiny, Shoebridge pushes the Greens towards the populist left; One Nation gets closer to Rinehart; Big tech and AI; and Labor pushes another massive coalmine. 3369

The opposite of being woke is being asleep: suckered, ignorant, gullible, non-sceptical. Curious why those us who are woke haven't embraced "asleep" as the obvious retort. 1102
