Patronage over principle: why Katie Gallagher’s ‘flexibility’ betrays good government
Labor once promised to end cronyism in public appointments. The government’s rejection of enforceable rules instead entrenches discretionary power, weakens accountability and undermines confidence in good governance.

Australia's mainstream media is obsessed with the colour and movement of conflict.
As 'both sides' support #AUKUS, they have failed to investigate whether it might be a huge, wasteful and dangerous dud 'deal'.
Our media rarely 'speak truth to power'.
They parrot power's talking points.

Social media replicates traditional mainstream media in this way: the “right-wing” ideology is pure poison and in order to have any real hold in the general population requires billionaires to control and manipulate the information sphere to relentlessly distort, fearmonger and warmonger.
