“a terrifying precedent if we are to accept that the price of ever speaking to the media is … your entire phone is “fair game”. There has been a striking lack of curiosity about how Ms Higgins’ text messages have been finding their way into media outlets” news.com.au/national/simpl…

Fiona Brown, Scott Morrison’s former director of operations speaks about the Brittany Higgins saga
The political staffer at the centre of the Brittany Higgins rape allegations has revealed how she was made to take the fall for the ­Morrison government as it sought to deflect Labor’s accusations of a cover-up – a catastrophic path she says culminated in the then-prime minister misleading parliament.

This is worth reading in full. Fiona Brown says a lot of very interesting things, particularly about the former prime minister and his office, which might go some way towards reminding people what this saga was actually about.

Peta and the wolves
To Peta Credlin, there is little that separates Winston Churchill and Ben Roberts-Smith. Both made difficult decisions and lived with their consequences. To her, Roberts-Smith is a brave and rugged man, a soldier’s soldier, “a hero, even if very possibly a flawed one, whose excesses, if any, are understandable in the cauldron of war”.

The heartbreak of losing a beloved dog like Nixon
On Monday I tested positive for COVID. On Tuesday my dog died. It sounds like the start of a country and western song.

As I wrote of Max, I know Nix was a dog. I won't write "just" a dog, but he was a dog, a not-young dog, when so many people suffer massively greater loss and tragedy, terrible tragedies.
And he was my dog.  thenewdaily.com.au/life/2023/06/1…

Resignation statement in full as Boris Johnson steps down
The former UK prime minister has resigned as a MP, saying there is no evidence that he misled Parliament.

Robert Saunders@redhistorian
This isn't a resignation statement; it's a temper tantrum.
And its central claim is untrue.
Johnson says he was "forced out anti-democratically" by a "kangaroo court".
So let's remind ourselves of the process from which he has chosen to run away... 🧵
