"Enough is enough". Why Brereton *has* to resign from the NACC - Michael West
NACC boss Brereton has disturbing history of giving misleading information. How much more is needed for him to resign?

Australia is paying $750m to a US prison company and $2.5bn in a secret deal to Nauru, yet the hundred or so asylum seekers in Nauru are starving.
It’s called corruption, and someone in authority should look into it.

'The good has become the enemy of better’: why the Senate refused to accept Labor’s first EPBC draft
'Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ has become the catch-cry of proud 'centrists' in Australia. But it’s time we admitted that the good has become the enemy of better.

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.
