Social cohesion or political censorship? "Politics depends on the public having enough confidence to believe that elected representatives and governments can solve real problems, rather than ignore them or create new ones" - and confidence is dying #auspol open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

Maybe, the 2026 World Cup’s most important lesson will have less to do with football than with showing that national identity is not as fixed or straightforward as many nationalists imagine, Mohamad Elmasry writes. #Worldcup #diaspora #migration

The World Cup is showing countries who they really are
The composition of teams in the World Cup suggests that modern national identity cannot be easily disentangled from colonialism, empire and migration.

In an era of political dysfunction, the ACT has offered a rare example of a parliament working as it should. By listening to evidence and improving legislation, a committee has delivered better justice outcomes, Andrew Fraser writes. #auspol #ACTPol #Justice #Law #Politics
