Commissioner Gibson apparently laughed and said, “that might be a long time”. By Lorena Allam. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Today's episode is about why non-Aboriginal people should Pay The Rent with @SenatorThorpe and @RonnieGorrie. We discuss how, because many Aboriginal people have lower life expectancy and wealth, a lot of Pay The Rent funds are used for funerals. A thread-

Young women like Grace Tame weren’t socialised to shut up when authority figures speak – and it feels like progress
Australians like to think of ourselves as rebels but culturally we love rules, and aren’t always kind to rule-breakers

The answer to Australia Day is already right in front of us
Have you ever felt that feeling of awe of the beauty and abundance of this country? I have felt it. But that moment is always followed by a feeling of sorrow.

The First Nations of this continent had advanced societies, an abundance of sustenance – we had peace until January 26, 1788.

Rapid tests denied to Australians despite millions being used in the UK
Australians are being denied a chance to use a rapid test approved by the UK’s health authority and issued free to millions of people over the past year.

One reason I wrote this story is I used this rapid antigen test at COP26 in Glasgow in June. Like most Australians there.
I got 7 tests from the NHS, used 6 and am hoarding the last one.

Amy Remeikis on Brittany Higgins, Grace Tame and the palpable rage of Australian women
Pictures of former Australian of the Year Grace Tame looking stony-faced while meeting with the Prime Minister have been both praised and criticised, but it's part of a broader conversation around the treatment of women in Australia. In journalist Amy Remeikis' new essay, called 'On Reckoning', she weaves in her own personal experiences as she examines how the Morrison Government responded to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct in Parliament House.

Conservatives venerate January 26. Do they even understand how it happened?

Dr Bella d’Abrera is the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program.
