"Dealing with disadvantage is not favouring Aboriginal people over others," writes @JohnRHewson.
"It’s not racist to do this, but just and fair. Indeed, it is racist to continue to let the challenge drift."

The No campaign has been relentlessly spreading fear about the Voice to Parliament being ‘legally risky’.
This has been consistently dispelled by constitutional lawyers and now 70+ law professors.

It was great to be a part of such a positive gathering today. We all need to come together, we need to talk, we all need to listen. The more we reach out to each other & work together the better life’s going to be for all of us. YES.

Today I moved a motion for the Govt to disclose a declassified copy of the ONI Climate Risk Assessment.
Labor and the Coalition voted against the entire crossbench to not release it.
Australians have a right to know about national security threats posed by climate change.

The Robodebt RC has exposed the worst of the culture of some in the LNP that welfare recipients are “cheats” and the unemployed are “dole bludgers “ and so on . This culture of demonisation must end . Hoping civil and criminal charges are pursued.

We'd like to thank Jonny Bairstow for reminding everyone about the dangers of stepping over the crease before you're given the green light.
Check out our road safety tips ➡ police.vic.gov.au/road-safet… then tag a grumpy Englishman (we'll go first @metpoliceuk)

Stuart Broad said the runout of Bairstow was one of the worst things he’s seen on a cricket field. Called it poor sportsmanship.
Boy does he have selective memory.

How was Bairstow to know the rules?
Here is literally the exact same Jonny Bairstow attempting the exact same thing 48 hours earlier
Crucial differences;
Marnus knew the rules and got back
Bairstow couldn’t hit the stumps
This #spiritOfTheGame faux outrage is hilarious

Journalist Chris Masters: no one comes out of something like this feeling exultant...
I don't want people to think of this as a bad day for Australian soldiers I think of those soldiers in terms of not only physical courage but moral courage...I'm so grateful to all of them.

‘I’d Die To Be With You Tonight’ was the first single off my ‘For the Working Class Man’ album in 1985. I recorded it with Kim Carnes. It’s filmed on Pyrmont bridge which was a swing bridge permanently closed a few years prior. A great song I enjoy doing live.
