Stories out of the Northern Rivers after the flooding catastrophe there are truly astonishing. A baby, unconscious in the mud, in a landslide. A elderly man on a chair in his hallway, waters to his chest, on the phone to his son. A whole region shattered. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

State Control: Australians trapped, stripped of assets and silenced
A Four Corners investigation will reveal the stories of Australians who say they’ve been virtually abducted by the state, stripped of their assets and stopped from speaking out, until now. Some 50,000 Australians are currently under the control of Public Guardian and Trustee agencies around the country. By law, these ‘clients’ are banned from speaking out about what happens to them, and journalists can be fined or jailed for reporting on them. Four Corners went to court to fight for the right to have their voices heard.

4 Corners tomorrow night will be hard, but I suspect - 'must watch' TV.
Ahead of this episode, the chair of the Public Trustee in Tasmania resigned, effective last Friday.

At the lowest moment of his career, Shane Warne took a trip overseas. One act of kindness changed everything
Dogged by scandals in the late 90s and early 2000s, Shane Warne arrived in Sri Lanka a controversial figure. But the people he met after the Boxing Day tsunami have never forgotten him.

Since Shane Warne’s death, I’ve been learning about everything he did in South Asia.
He was not a popular man in Sri Lanka. Then one act of kindness after the Boxing Day tsunami changed everything. I tracked down some kids he helped almost 20 years ago: abc.net.au/news/2022-03-1…

Why does Scott Morrison find it so hard to say sorry? And does it really matter?
Perhaps the Prime Minister’s prevarication on climate action makes it difficult for him to stare down the obvious consequences of it.
