The Epstein files name prominent Australians and senior US and UK officials.

I’m calling on the Australian Government to order an independent review for survivors, for accountability, and for our national security.

illiam Forgan Smith (15 April 1887 – 25 September 1953) was an Australian politician. He served as Premier of the state of Queensland from 1932 to 1942. He came to dominate politics in the state during the 1930s, and his populism, firm leadership, defence of states' rights and interest in state development make him something of an archetypal Queensland Premier. He represented the Labor Party.

Imagine Queensland 2026 as 1939: We're just going to send Queensland Labor Premier William Forgan Smith to Germany to speak to Adolf Hitler.

Was the Adelaide University merger really worth $185 million in consultants? The first full academic year for Adelaide University – the product of a merger between the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia – is about to start. The merger cost a total of $500...

They spent $399,000 per day on consultants!?!?!?

This is not the sort of 'investing in our future' we need.

Maybe lowering student fees and better pay for staff would be a slightly better use of the $$$.

Queensland police refused to discipline officer accused of domestic violence against pregnant partner Police decided there was β€˜no tangible benefit’ to conducting disciplinary action against the officer and opted not to investigate

There is "no tangible benefit" in the Queensland police investigating themselves.

The decision to scrap the specialist domestic and family violence command only reinforces the cultural failings highlighted by the 2022 inquiry that they have failed to address.
