Lorraine Finlay claims the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament would undermine human rights.
This is wrong. I've joined with four other former Human Rights Commissioners to affirm that an Indigenous Voice to Parliament would uphold human rights.

Musk is remaking Twitter into a climate denier sanctuary
I got some data that analyses how climate deniers have changed their audience size, relative to pro-climate accounts, on Musk’s Twitter. It’s….not good.

Noticed that pro-climate-action accounts were stagnating or shrinking, and that denier accounts seemed to be ballooning. So - I checked, with some help, and....yep.

Jordan is among the most vulnerable in our society but she doesn't have the same rights as other Australian children
Jordan is 16. She's homeless, disabled and has been in the care of the state since she was four. Jordan has also spent 94 days in detention while on remand. Her case is another example of what advocates say is wrong with Queensland's youth justice system.

It’s not perfect, but the Labor-Greens climate deal should limit emissions and fossil fuels. That matters
The agreement delivers important changes to the safeguard mechanism. But there is still a lot of work to do

Climate change emissions target is not enough
Climate change is still seen as a political/ideological issue, but three degrees of warming would have utterly catastrophic consequences.
