Some of our very best political campaigners have been ordinary prime ministers. Given this trend is consequential, it feels like something we should look at (rather than be passive as message discipline trumps substance). Here’s my column #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Morrison’s rejection of an integrity commission a blow for our democracy
If the Coalition cannot see that our democracy is threatened by the lack of an effective integrity commission, it does not deserve the support of voters.

Our Editorial: "The Age does not normally endorse one party over another until the campaign's end, but we would find it extremely difficult to support the return of this government unless it rethinks its approach to an integrity commission." theage.com.au/politics/feder…

Our children need climate action not culture wars
In the seat of Warringah, there is a peculiar pall of frustration in the air. But it’s got nothing to do with transgender issues.

Morrison and his cabinet are frightened of an effective integrity commission
An integrity watchdog has to prevent any government from engaging in the kind of egregious misconduct committed by the Coalition at the last election.

“The opposition could not possibly have supported the government’s useless & contemptible model. The truth is Morrison & his cabinet are frightened of an effective integrity commission, & what it might expose, and they have very good reason to be.” Stephen Charles, former judge twitter.com/margaretsimons…

Election Coverage in the Passive Voice
Let’s start with something positive, to remind ourselves that a better world of political reporting is possible. On Monday evening, the first Monday of the election, Laura Tingle took to the airwaves of the ABC’s 730 program and delivered a package that showed journalism can be about context across a full term of government and not just gotchas within the artificially constructed limitations of an election campaign grab.

War erupts over anti-transgender candidate

There is no place in a mainstream political party for bigotry. Coming out as Trans would be hugely challenging, especially for kids, and political leaders should be condemning the persecution of people based on their gender, not participating in it. news.com.au/national/feder…

Underestimated: why young women are shying away from economics
Fewer young women are taking up economics study, and many who do are underestimating how good they are at it. It could have consequences far beyond the classroom

“Many men that dominate our economic conversations are too confident they are right.”
^ It starts in classrooms w/ girls thinking they are worse at economics than they really are. And it could impact economic outcomes of the nation.
