Millions of Australians haven’t seen family interstate or overseas for months or years. The PM’s Canberra-Sydney jaunt to see his might be within the rules but it will - like Hawaii & UK side-trip - infuriate people who hate different rules 4 politicians smh.com.au/politics/feder…

“Hassan” had glowing Army references. His life was threatened by Taliban. Aus Govt took 5 yrs to turn him down on character grounds. Fed Court quashed decision last year. Minister knocked him back again 4 days after Kabul fell. Then granted a temporary visa. Then said in “error”. twitter.com/abcnews/status…

There's been a sense the Victorian Liberals could lose the next election. Will Guy's return change the game?
Even his worst enemies acknowledge that Premier Andrews is a master of his game, and that Victorian Labor is a well-oiled campaign machine. It's a big task for whoever is taking them on, writes Richard Willingham.

JobKeeper mess is of the Coalition’s making

There are concerns that the voices of victims and survivors are not being listened to at the Federal Government's Women's Safety Summit. Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, says while she had hopes that the conference would facilitate change, the actions of the Morrison Government prove that they still "don't get it".
