I remember #Whitlam
my hope is that somehow the cream will raise to the top
my sense is #Rudd could've introduced more regs on miners & more π°on gas exports
I think #Shorten might have focused on a more just society
neither were quite a #Whitlam
but they tried

Why Australia needs a War Powers Act to prevent any PM taking us into a war without parliamentary oversight and agreement
But Australia mindlessly follows US demands without question

Exclusive: Robodebt architect remains employed in a senior governance role in the public service
Scott Britton was a national manager of the customer compliance branch in the Department of Human Services and signed a June 2014 minute that first detailed how robodebt would work.
From me: The architect of the Robodebt scheme, who was told it was unlawful even as he delivered it for the government, is still employed in the public service, now at the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. And in a senior governance and risk role. www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/20/r...
