Australia led the world in COVID infections this week and the experts say 'it's not over'
With the country in middle of an election campaign, a war raging in Ukraine and cost of living rising, COVID-19 has dropped off the radar for some Australians. But experts say the number of daily cases and deaths is "extraordinary".

Factcheck: Scott Morrison says Australia is a world leader in Covid recovery. Is he right?
It wasn’t a race, the prime minister famously said, yet now he’s claiming the win. Here’s how the numbers –on jobs, vaccines and the economy – really stack up

When the manufactured short term product differentiation fight has to triumph over substance. Honestly, are you wondering why Australia is standing still when it comes to the resolution of so many important problems? Take Sunday as a case study 👇 #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

How does the Coalition’s super scheme for first-home buyers work and would it drive up prices?
Will it make housing unaffordable, as critics claim, and how does it compare with Labor’s Help to Buy scheme?

Where has the women’s rage of 2021 gone?
Women account for 40 per cent of all candidates across both houses of parliament, and are volunteering for political campaigns in droves.

That there hasn’t been another singular national protest since the #March4Justice doesn’t mean women’s anger has dissipated.
Their rage has been channeled into myriad activities to ensure #EnoughIsEnough isn’t just a hashtag.

With falling real incomes and rising prices many people don’t believe the story of prosperity Scott Morrison is preaching
Australians facing rising interest rates and rising average tax rates have little to celebrate

How odd that those worrying a $1 per hour pay rise for the lowest paid will cause inflation are so unconcerned about the inflationary impact of $184 billion worth of Stage 3 tax cuts that give $9,000 per year to those earning over $200k #auspol #insiders theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Politicians’ pay has gone up by a third in a decade, but a wage rise in line with inflation is too much?
