The decision by @DanielAndrewsMP not to take journalists with him to China is deeply disappointing. A visit to a crucial trading partner at a crucial time needs media scrutiny. Govts across Oz pay lip service to press freedom & the public’s right to know. sbs.com.au/news/article/p…

Mr Mayo’s remarks come after Mr Leeser, in Question Time on Monday, questioned whether the Reserve Bank would need to consult with the Voice before making a decision on interest rates because it's “part of the executive government”. “I mean, there is a litany of failed policy and harmful laws, discrimination that ultimately leads to the great problems that we have in our communities today,” Mr Mayo…
