“It seems Alexei Navalny will soon be what George Orwell’s 1984 described as an unperson.” Rob Harris here: smh.com.au/world/europe/the-…

The world can’t simply look on as yet another critic of Vladimir Putin dies

Yet more superlative work from @CroweDM: "PM Anthony Albanese has cleared the way for a furious political fight over tax reform by offering bigger tax cuts to workers who earn up to about $150K a year by amending the stage 3 tax package." smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

PM’s tax flip: bigger cuts for workers on up to $150k
