I left it too late to run on a single issue ticket in this election, so have created a petition for the @FT to publish the @ftweekend in print for Melbourne. Please sign and publicise! chng.it/d7WyQnY2bZ #printWeekendFTinMelbourne

Listening to @mrjoeaston’s book this summer and I’m persuaded by a lot. He did, however, fail to give adequate weight to the value of Qantas maintaining its jaffle makers at its peasant lounge through thick and thin.

Agree - excellent reading.
Dennis Glover's "Repeat" is a rallying cry against populism, from an Orwell scholar who worries "the psychological climate of Stalin's Soviet Union & Nazi Germany can be felt afresh". Just 148 pages long, it's vital reading for all who cherish democracy. blackincbooks.com.au/books/r…

Advocacy groups say the super death benefit system is inflexible and doesn't recognise First Nations kinship structures, meaning people can't leave their money to those they consider family members. New from me for @ConsumersSuper /@choiceaustralia: bit.ly/3WllxoT
