This is why the investigation into the death of Kumanjayi White- and all investigations into Indigenous deaths in custody - should be conducted by an authority with a deep understanding of racism from an Indigenous perspective, and at arms length from police.

From page to stage. I never expected my book Dear Son - Letters and Reflections from First Nations Fathers and Sons to become a play. I’m so happy it has. It is something special. If you won’t get a chance to see the play, there’s always the book: publishing.hardiegrant.com/en-au/books/...

Dutton has been trying to distance himself from Trump. But in his routine failure to answer questions, his labeling of journalists as "hate media" and "left wing", his imperious view that he is beyond accountability, Dutton has shown he shares Trump's authoritarian impulses. #ausvotes #auspol

The more we know about Peter Dutton, the further in to the dark shadows the details get. Louise Milligan and the 4 Corners team did excellent work on the program last night. Dutton has questions to answer, #Auspol, though we know he won’t answer them.

It’s worth remembering that Dutton promised a referendum on constitutional recognition during the referendum on constitutional recognition and reneged as soon as the divisive impact he wanted was landed. He can’t be trusted. He never genuinely acts in the national interest.

I have no idea why anyone would want to watch #MAFS in the first place, but I suspect I am not the target demo. That said, if you want to send a message that televising male violence against women is never acceptable, switch to 45 minutes of important investigative journalism on 4 Corners instead.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

When people like Dutton talk about “cultural diversity” or DEI jobs they’re essentially just denigrating non-white people. It’s straight racism and journalists need to call it out. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Dutton says cultural diversity jobs do nothing to help Australians

During an impassioned speech on Friday, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton pledged, if elected, to slash the public sector – and one area in particular.
