Kids in jail: Victoria is heading down Queensland’s road
Queensland has legislated remote camps for children, while Victoria has made it easier to sentence young offenders as adults. Victoria once kept more kids out of jail by investing in community alternatives. That hard-won approach is being lost in the race to sound tough.

Trump says freedom is coming to Cuba. But what might that mean for an island already struggling under US economic pressure? The history of American interference in Cuba gives his latest warning a troubling context, Richard Broinowski writes. #Cuba #USPolitics

Will Cuba be next?
Trump’s latest warning to Cuba revives a long history of US hostility towards the island. From the Batista era to today’s economic pressure, the question is how far Washington might go in seeking political change.

Who says economic growth and social justice can’t go together?
Brazil and Spain’s finance ministers reject the idea that economic growth, fiscal responsibility and social investment must compete. They point to their governments’ records to make the case for an economic model that puts people’s lives at its centre.

We’re quick to call people who vote differently from us selfish or brainwashed. But what shapes our own choices – and whose interests do we consider when we vote, Adrian Rosenfeldt writes. #vicpol #auspol

The rational fool, the cultural dope, the stranger and the voting booth
It’s easy to dismiss people who vote differently from us as selfish or brainwashed. But our own choices are shaped by self-interest, values and culture too. As Victorians prepare to vote, whose lives and interests are we willing to consider beyond our own?

Don Dunstan’s cookbook and the lost ambition of social democracy
One hundred years ago Don Dunstan was born and 50 years ago, in October 1976, the then South Australian premier published a cookbook. It sounds like a charming eccentricity of the era. It was actually a small expression of a much larger political idea.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a suburban living room on Grand Final Day (AFL or the code of your choice). The title: All Ready For Game Day. Left to right, items are shown and labelled: a television (TV), a couch (Comfy Seats), meats pies with sauce and a bowl of chips (Snacks), an ice bucket full of alcoholic drinks (Drinks), a phone (Betting Apps), an overnight bag, partially concealed under the table with a teddy bear next to it (Emergency Go Bag). Standing in the doorway, eyes on the go bag, is an anxious young mother with a baby girl on her hip and a boy holding her hand, as they wait for things to kick off.
