My interview with Priya:
"It was horrific. I was still in my nightdress and my children were still in bed. And 50 people, with police officers, arrived at dawn. And we were put in a vehicle, and they didn’t even allow us to change."

Australian govt has missed a deadline to decide on compensation for victims of alleged war crimes in Afghanistan, potentially leaving it for post-election. Also the updates to parliament promised by former minister Reynolds seem to have fallen by wayside: theguardian.com/australia-news…

The Liberal Party wants us to 'look at the facts'. But just whose facts?
Of nine claims in the Liberals' new ad campaign, one is correct, two are deceptive and six are barefaced lies.

“It’s not sitting before the courts. It’s sitting on Minister Hawke’s desk right now.”
That's the view from Bronwyn Dendle and Angela Fredericks, friends of the Murugappan family of Biloela.
I spoke to them in Biloela.
Seems like Barnaby Joyce agrees.

This is the last thing Zoe Daniel needs. She’s running a solid grassroots campaign. Why must GetUp make a grab for the limelight & impose an unwelcome external frame? They stuffed up last election with their tone-deaf interventions. #auspol #ausvotes theage.com.au/national/we-ne…

Independent threat isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
There is growing speculation a hung parliament is in the offing. This inevitably brings with it claims by both major parties that they wont do deals with the crossbench, in a bid to convince voters to pick between them and not risk wasting their vote on a minor party or independent candidate. The majors also claim a hung parliament risks being unstable.
