A Washington Post reporter who was doing an investigative piece on the Trump administration had her home raided by the FBI this morning and all her devices seized. Clearly Hannah Natanson is on to something they don't want uncovered.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about
