At last. Limbo ends for thousands of refugees who now can apply for permanent residency. I think of the kids I used to work with, who studied so hard, but didn’t know if they could ever go to uni, create a life. More to do and took too long but a good day. amp.abc.net.au/article/101963…

I wrote for @guardian on the National Apology today.
Whilst it may be good in gesture, there isn’t action for the better.
Forcible removal of First Nations children continues and we have a serious responsibility to bring every child home.

What's actually driving soaring inflation? The answer points to unnecessary mortgage pain
Here's the fundamental economic problem we now face as a nation: It seems, as time moves on, that businesses are further fuelling inflation — not consumers, writes David Taylor.
