There’ll be a lot of shouting at this piece by @DeborahSnow. But I think it’s very good. She has asked all the right questions. Read it carefully. It reveals Morrison as the shallow, narcissistic poseur we know him to be.

So many of Australia's COVID rules just don't make sense — and anger is rising
Rapid antigen tests have suddenly become the key to society functioning, and the best symbol of how the whole "government getting out of your face" thing seems to have gone so spectacularly awry in the past six weeks, writes Laura Tingle.

The prime minister says: Let them eat Covid
The Morrison government’s “let them eat cake” approach to running Australia took a hit this week when Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg tested positive to Covid-19. Frydenberg’s Twitter presence dimmed. Missives paused from the man many see as the inheritor of the Liberal leadership should Scott Morrison stumble at the coming federal election.

Why Covid-19 will never become endemic
For most of the pandemic Australia has worked to contain the virus through evidence-based public health measures such as border closures, case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, social distancing, vaccines and, at times, lockdown. Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public

Mehdi Ali case stains all of us with shame
On Friday my oldest daughter turned 15. Shes growing up fast but is still very much a child, not that she necessarily sees it that way. Mehdi Ali was the same age when he arrived by boat at Christmas Island, fleeing persecution in Iran. That was more than eight years ago. Last week Mehdi celebrated his 24th birthday in hotel detention in Melbourne, still locked up, surviving in limbo as to when or how he might be allowed to live the rest of his life free. His case hit the mainstream media because world No.1 tennis player Novak Djokovic was detained in the same hotel. The spotlight cant be all…

The horrible irony is the discretionary Ministerial powers that bring #Djokovic back to the Park Hotel prison where 33 refugees remain after 9yrs detention by Australia, could free them in a moment.
