On World Press Freedom Day, will Australia’s major parties pledge to fix our whistleblowing law?

At its simplest, press freedom is about the truth. On #WorldPressFreedomDay we should reflect on the three Australians facing jail for telling the truth and demand our major parties commit to dropping these prosecutions if elected. Me in @GuardianAus theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Teals play the electoral system for a sucker
The most destructive, harmful and dangerous vote anyone can make in the forthcoming election is for a teal independent or the Greens. They are both a direct threat to our national security. The government and Labor, and most strategic analysts, tell us, correctly, that these are uniquely challenging times strategically and militarily. Yet the Greens position on defence is nearly insane they, almost uniquely in the entire world, think China presents no strategic challenge and they want to slash our already feeble military capability.

The Tory panic over the Teal independents grows by the hour, as in this fit of hysterics from Little Greg Sheridan: a torrent of drivel in which he discovers, among other idiocies, that preferential voting is undemocratic. theaustralian.com.au/commentary/tea…

A reckoning is coming for Australia's largest river system
Delivery of the $13 billion Murray-Darling Basin Plan hangs in the balance with just two years to go before major water saving deadlines must be met. Very few people who have been paying attention believe the water will be found in time. What happens next has divided all sides of politics.

Kath Sullivan@KathSully
The politics of managing natural resources is tricky, but given Australians have committed $13bn to Australia's largest river system, it's worth a look at what the major parties are offering, at where they agree and where they're divided.

‘Vote for us because we are not Labor’ is the most unfulfilling call to action in recent memory
After the rate rise blow, Scott Morrison suggested Australians had been preparing for it and had ‘strengthened their balance sheets’. The rhetoric felt ludicrous

Morrison and Frydenberg are forced to front the end of free money, a very big day for aspirational Australia and a pivot point of this contest - and all they had was don’t vote Labor. Dear God. On it goes. The ballad of the devil you know #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Housing Affordability in Australia - Tackling a wicked problem
Owning one’s own home has long been understood as the Great Australian Dream. The truth is, secure housing in Australia is increasingly out of reach for a growing proportion of the population – arguably more so than in any comparable country.

Yep - over 25% of lifetime income for Gen X to service an average mortgage, compared to 11% for their parents - it will be worse for millennials & zoomers.
