Our girl. Here's Ziggy, pre-morning meditation:

And, of course, she's SO deserving!

A translation of the Nauruan president’s remarks will stay suppressed for a decade – but secrecy in Australia’s offshore policy is nothing new From Scott Morrison’s ‘on-water matters’ to the Albanese government’s MOU with Nauru, successive governments’ attitude to legitimate scrutiny has been one of hostility

If Australia’s offshore processing regime is as uncontroversial as the government insists, why is nobody allowed to see it, to interrogate it? Why should we not know the translation of the interview held by the government?

Bessent isn't doing the administrations any favors with his messaging. He reportedly said the new $20b was at least partially private funds. Maybe all? How does that work? Are taxpayers taking risks here?

No clue! I've asked a bunch, and gotten nothing. Don't think others know either.

Billionaire Hands off Public Policy! Tesla's chair is in charge of our tech future - but it should be us shaping policy

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/EeDwtaaJSN1YfL
