Morrison descended into political hell. Now he hopes to emerge
The federal election will not be fought over the submarines contract. But the Prime Minister’s horror trip to Rome and Glasgow could still shape what comes next.

Correction, Minister: democracy’s roots are neither Christian nor Western
Federal Education Minister Alan Tudge complains the new draft national curriculum in history is too “woke” in not saying enough positive things about Anzac, Christianity and liberal democracy. His own grasp on history needs some fact-checking.

With upwards of 2,800 donors in 48 hours and a total of almost $164,000 raised so far, we've far surpassed our goal and once again shown there's great strength in numbers.
It also means we're able to help not only Gemma, but many others facing injustice. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…

Exclusive: Legal ultimatum a ‘slap in the face’ for mesh victims
The shifting of liabilities between shell companies has left thousands of women harmed by transvaginal mesh implants with no one to sue for proper compensation.

The company being sued by Australian women over injuries and losses caused by transvaginal mesh implants has restructured its business to move assets out of the way. Now it says: accept this paltry settlement offer or risk getting nothing even if you win. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/20…

Inside Scott Morrison’s election strategy
As Scott Morrison moves to an election footing, he is basing his strategy around trust – hoping to relate it to economics rather than honesty.

After the bushfires, sports rorts, Brittany Higgins, Christian Porter, the botched vaccine rollout, Cop26, the France/Aukus debacles, robodebt, JobKeeper, and billions in promised or rorted grants schemes, Morrison is planning to run on “trust”. 🤯 thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

Kevin Rudd: Voter-ID laws are an assault on our democracy
Scott Morrison’s plan to introduce US-style “voter ID” laws for Australian elections represents a stealth assault on compulsory voting, Kevin Rudd writes.

Kevin Rudd@MrKRudd
My piece in @TheNewDailyAu. The Senate crossbench has a choice on Morrison’s Trumpian “voter ID” laws: they can protect Australians’ right to vote, or help the LNP Americanise our politics by keeping Australians away from the ballot box. thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2021/1…

For months, St Joseph’s has started pulling down old photos from its hall of fame

University educated, environmentally aware Cummins is a man for the new age
Theres every expectation that when England leaves us after the Ashes this summer, heads will nod in agreement around the board table at Cricket Australia and theyll crown Patrick James Cummins as the 47th captain of the Test team. Australian crickets most marketable male is already the face of the team and jeez hed look good in that captains jacket. The blue eyes, the handsome face, the beaming smile is the one every sponsor wants in their campaign. Power companies, shaving brands, clothing lines, energy drinks.
