When will our political duopoly do anything substantial to put the welfare of the people before themselves & donors. YES I am cynical after COVID, NACC, AUKUS, transparency & accountability, whistleblowers, Gaza, gambling, climate, media, consultancies, environment, housing, CSIRO & now Jobs 4 Mates

What about the ones who live in the US?

Why did it take a decade?
The federal government said it would expand its right-to-repair reforms to cover agricultural machinery, bringing them in line with passenger vehicles, after more than a decade of campaigning by farmers.

Part Four: “When ‘Historic Reform’ Means Managed Decline” This is how you capture environmental policy without killing the environment entirely. You write laws that prevent environmental protection from working. The Real Question Did the federal government’s...
