It’s clear: the major parties are more interested in protecting their duopoly than serving the people. This is why we need strong, independent voices in Parliament, voices that aren’t beholden to corporate donors or party machines.

When considering the state of civil rights in the UK today, the only thing you need to know is that an 87 year old Holocaust survivor was called in for questioning by the Metropolitan Police for attending a completely peaceful anti-genocide rally.

Being anti-genocide should be the default position of every living person.
It's really so very basic and barely even an ask.
Anyone who would have to pause to "consider their position" on genocide should be named, shamed, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.

Dutton keeps parroting some line in press conferences that '27,000 small businesses have closed in the last two years.' And never gets pulled up.
Takes two seconds to go the ABS and find total businesses have increased year on year over the same period ... in fact there's been a net increase every year, for years. And every year a ton close.

The best rule changes would be ones to introduce a finely gradated set of sanctions that can be gradually escalated for flouting the rules. afaict this is mostly missing due to the focus on building trust among the small number of ECSC, EEC members early in the group's history.

I'd say cancel the submarine deal, up the rent at Pine Gap and contact the French about #submarines if we really need them.
One thing I never understood is why we had a deal originally for conventional diesel/electric submarines with a French company that designs exclusively nuclear submarines. It never made sense to me.

That's unclear. Trump is very unpopular, and on this issue, Albo would have been siding with the great majority of our friends and allies.
