The court action to suppress @adele_ferguson @jttozer 60 mins expose of medical misconduct is the scariest legal development I’ve seen in 20 years of investigative journalism. And I say after 4 years battling Ben Roberts-Smith’s legal army. Media must unite to fight this. twitter.com/adele_ferguson…

Lessons from the teal seats
The phrase was coined by a volunteer for Sophie Scamps in Mackellar, but it was just as fitting in Kooyong or Goldstein or anywhere else that people were experiencing the optimism and satisfaction of engaging for the first time in a political campaign. The phrase was “active hope”. By 7.30 on election night, 1200 locals dressed in teal T-shirts had already assembled at the

How the media failed this election
After such a decisive election outcome, soul-searching about what happened and why is only natural. One of the most conspicuous failures in the campaign was the role played by the media – they certainly tried to undermine our democracy.

David Speers and James Glenday are joined by ABC Foreign Affairs reporter Stephen Dziedzic to discuss the first week of the new government, and the Prime Minister's attempts to rehabilitate Australia's climate r…
