FWIW, my story on Peter Dutton's property portfolio was NOT information from a Labor "dirt unit". December 23 was when I asked the Age's Library to start pulling ASIC company records (see below) and Feb 7 was when I contacted the Clerk's office to look at his register.

10 years ago today #IlhamTohti was given a life sentence on baseless "separatist" charges for simply seeking to build bridges of understanding among ethnic communities. He must be freed and the PRC must end its genocidal efforts to erase #Uyghur culture and religion, say Chairs.

Column | Olympic boxing fury is all about misplaced rage and not about facts

The saga that threatened to engulf the Paris Games is scary, but not for the reasons some are spewing.

Wow. If you are to watch one video this morning, watch this. Pete Buttigieg perfectly explains why Billionaires in Silicon Valley now support Trump and why J.D. Vance has flip flopped to liking Trump.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Nice piece by Peter Hartcher smh.com.au/politics/federal/… #china #halloween #LiKeqiang #GoughWhitlam #Albanese 🎃 👻
Why Albanese’s China visit is timely, for Xi Jinping

Why Albanese’s China visit is timely, for Xi Jinping

The Australian prime minister’s arrival into China will lend a sheen of respectability and stability to President Xi at a delicate time for the country.

Poignant piece by ⁦⁦@mrseankelly⁩ smh.com.au/politics/federal/… #Yes23 #DeathsinCustody #VoicetoParliament

Now that the Voice is gone, we can get back to not listening

It should be extraordinary that when we were supposed to be confronting disadvantage we are instead perpetuating it. But actually, it makes perfect sense.

I am absolutely disgusted with Dutton, Ley & co as they continue to insult First Nations people with demeaning questions on possible next steps in reconciliation in #QT Continuing to use our most disadvantaged to look for political points is just morally bankrupt. #auspol

'Let's just be decent for once.' As Australia inches closer to Referendum Day, @rove explains why giving our First Nations People a Voice to Parliament should unite us, not divide us.
