If walking home from school with his mates is the ‘wrong place’, where is the right place?
There’s nothing that can come from the death of Cassius Turvey that feels like justice. There’s no relief or lesson that can be taught after something so horrific.

Not that they lacked the ability to conceive or design this wicked hunter’s trap of a debt policy – that is well recorded – but that these figures apparently possessed an inability... to wonder what the final outcome of such a hideous program might be. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

Important read from @lukehgomes on robodebt:
Commissioner Catherine Holmes said: “So what do you do? You get an advice in draft, and if it’s not favourable you just leave it that way?”

Australian Twitter staff locked out of their systems overnight. Zero doubt that this is a pretty severe breach of Australian labor laws - you can't retrench someone without a clear and consistent process before doing so. Add this to the lawsuit pile.
