- Exclusive: When Albanese’s staff insisted on Tuesday morning that the Labor leader would speak regardless of what Morrison chose to do, Morrison’s staff changed their position. The prime minister would deliver a speech first. | @KarenMMiddleton #AusPol satpa.pe/exclu14a2b7
00:00- Peter Dutton ends the year with detailed plans to wind back reconciliation, peppering departments with questions about the cost of Welcomes to Country and promising to scrap flags, dual names and the ambassador for First Nations people. satpa.pe/hzsgHGx
- .@SquigglyRick spent two days at the National Library of Australia reviewing the original explorer accounts quoted by Bruce Pascoe in ‘Dark Emu’, now under fire from Andrew Bolt. They are – at every instance – quoted verbatim. satpa.pe/pascoe1c351
- Editorial: There is no doubt that the platform on which Albanese is running will produce a country more just and more caring than the one Morrison is promising. There is no doubt he would make a better prime minister. #AusPol #AusVotes #SatPaper satpa.pe/edito24300f
- After 15 years without answers, a series of statutory declarations finally reveals how race and allegations of ‘criminal’ activities were used in Scott Morrison’s controversial preselection. | @KarenMMiddleton #AusPol #SatPaper satpa.pe/actua0a195
- Editorial: Laura Tingle’s statement last weekend made another point about Australia: racism is almost never punished, but the people who name it almost always are. satpa.pe/93IfFTr
- Editorial: Before the last election, Morrison reopened the prison on Christmas Island. He took a clutch of journalists there and walked them among the empty cages. The photo opportunity cost $185 million. #AusPol #SatPaper satpa.pe/edito0474b
- "Peter Dutton pushes the argument that renewables have led to higher power prices," writes @JohnRHewson. "Again, the evidence flouts this assertion. When Labor came to office, wholesale prices were $375 a megawatt hour. This year, they were just $76/MWh."
- Editorial: It is almost impossible to imagine a legal system that could fail a person more comprehensively, over a longer period of time, at more levels and in more ways, than the system that failed Brittany Higgins. satpa.pe/SKg7oPC
- Exclusive: After becoming defence minister, Peter Dutton intervened to cancel an Australian Defence Force plan to give Australian military bases dual English and Indigenous names. @KarenMMiddleton reports #AusPol #SatPaper satpa.pe/dutto88659b
- Editorial: In the three months to September last year, Peter Dutton incurred $809,587.56 in incidentals. It is incredible how much it costs to do nothing. satpa.pe/eQzb4g8
