New weekly fact check column from me on #climate stuff. Here’s the first. Has Australia really cut emissions by 20% since 2005? Does BoM deliberately put thermometers near airports to make warming seem worse, as one News Corp columnist claimed? 😬🤷‍♂️ theguardian.com/environment/20…

Anti-corruption commission launches public hearings into Adem Somyurek
The commission can only launch an inquiry if it “reasonably suspects corrupt conduct has occurred” and it tends to hold public hearings only if it has gained evidence of wrongdoing.

Nick McKenzie@Ageinvestigates
Beyond abuse of public resources, the real damage caused by backroom political kingmakers, Liberal or Labor (Somyurek just an egregious case) is the tainting of young political aspirants who feel they must play their grubby factional game, or turn a blind eye, to have a career. twitter.com/mbachelard/sta…

If the regent honeyeater is ‘voted off the island’ in the bird of the year poll, its love song may be lost forever
Where once they roamed in vast flocks, today there are fewer than 350 in the wild. Now, when it sings for a mate across a vast canyon, its lovelorn call is met by silence

Meet your new Indigenous affairs journalist
Often when I go into regional and remote communities I hear accounts of how visiting journalists or media organisations have left them feeling exploited. Considerations of kinship and agency sets Blak journalistic practice apart from the usual non-Indigenous approach to the discipline.

As a once ostracised paedophilia survivor, I’m still wrapping my head around the surreality of being named Australian of the Year on the 25th of January. It was an event nobody realised would foreshadow such a synchronous shift in our social climate.

Rex Patrick@Senator_Patrick
I want to see @ScottMorrisonMP's secret state unravel. The PM overstepped when he claimed National Cabinet was part of the Federal Cabinet. He's now on the back foot. The Senate must press hard for transparency & accountability before the election. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Truth is we’ll likely never get any nuclear subs
As things stand, it is unlikely Australia will ever get a nuclear submarine. All that we have done so far is cancel the French submarine. My guess is this delays any submarine at all by at least 10 years.

John Menadue: From deputy sheriff to the 51st state of the Union
Paul Keating put it succinctly yesterday in The Sydney Morning Herald that we are selling our country to another power. Or, as former ambassador John McCarthy put it, “we are moving from being a country with the self-respect of true independence”. Step by step we have been ceding our sovereignty to the US.
