Factcheck: the Coalition says Labor always ‘takes China’s side’, but are the parties’ positions so different?
Did the opposition call Scott Morrison a ‘racist’ for shutting the border to China at the start of pandemic? Let’s look at the record

Just look at the record, Scott Morrison said yesterday in relation to Labor’s position on China. Good idea, we thought. So ⁦@danielhurstbne⁩ has, in forensic fashion. Claims versus reality #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Independents threaten to chop out next generation of Liberals
The “sensible centre” is where Australia stands. That is where all those targeted Liberals stand; MPs who have earned their places in parliament.

There is something profoundly misogynistic about these idiot takes from reactionaries insisting that female independents are a threat to the wonderful men of the Liberal Party who should be allowed to govern unchallenged.

Having to grapple with the NDIS is no blessing – it’s a matter of government policy
Morrison says he’s sorry for comments about autistic children – maybe he is just relieved he doesn’t have to rely on a system that’s failing those who need it most

Australia spent a million dollars training me – and now I’m leaving
Once a week, I sit down with my friend’s five-year-old nephew, Ben, and talk to him about numbers, planets and cells. Fun stuff. When my friend found out I was emigrating, he had one question. I think it’s a good one.

The gas industry promised jobs and growth. These regional Australians say otherwise
It's been portrayed as the solution for issues facing the bush but communities are frustrated, saying there is no accountability for when things go wrong.

Gas has become the simple solution to complex problems. @southey70 and I travelled more than 4000km through QLD’s gas country and found divided towns, broken promises, sinkholes, cleared forests and towns in hope of real investment. @theage @smh theage.com.au/interactive/20…

Morrison shows bad faith in his hit job against ICAC
The prime minister knows the NSW ICAC is a popular alternative to his toothless tiger model for a national integrity commission so he is throwing dirt at it with little regard to the facts.

Bevan Shields@BevanShields
The attacks on the NSW ICAC by the Prime Minister and now, Foreign Minister Marise Payne, are highly misleading.
