Much of O'Brien's speech was about the need for greater press freedom, less government secrecy and real protections for whistleblowers.
But all that is pointless, if major mainstream news organizations are doing self-censorship,
with editorial direction outsourced to the Israel lobby. #auspol

First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.

Question being why is campaign, whoever they are, allowing him to shoot from the hip like this. It's been nothing but lies, tear down, destroy, vilify since the beginning of the campaign.

Dutton’s strategy & campaign has been one disaster after another.
Policy backflips, no costing details, short on substance, low on excitement & integrity.

It has shown a Liberal party short on policy, short on values & extremely short on talent.

Dutton tossed aside Liberal beliefs. Now his collapse leaves the party bereft
If the polls are right, the Coalition is headed for defeat. Where does that leave the Liberal Party, which has abandoned so many of its traditions to get here?

On the Level
On the Level, released 50 years ago today, is Quo at its single-minded best. All roads lead to "Down Down," a dynamic riff, perplexing lyric, and a mood that's so compulsive you'll still be shaking your head in time long after all your hair's fallen out.

At least we now have proof that Dutton's nuclear "plan" is a mishmash of wild assumptions, burning ideology and plain fantasy. Let's hope Labor has a better strategy to dismantle this destructive distraction than just bleating "it doesn't pass the pub test".
