It's been a bit over a year since I stopped tweeting, but I am still very keen to hear from and engage with readers. The days of the "Voice of God" style of journalism should be long gone. Best way to reach me is [email protected] - put "Reader feedback" as the subject

Albanese on new naval base: "What we had was a drop to the papers about how there was an announcement about there being an announcement down the track. Sound familiar with this Government? We'll wait for a proper briefing. We will be constructive, as always."

After withdrawing an unparliamentary remark, Morrison says the Chinese govt "has picked their horse and he's sitting right there". Albanese seeks leave for a national security debate where each leader speaks for 10 min, Dutton shuts it down by saying it's a stunt #QT

Q: When you look at the debate over gay, lesbian and trans students, do you think the Parliament is doing enough to protect their rights? Grace Tame: "Why does one group of people have more of a right to be themselves than another, that's what I have to ask the Government." #NPC

"It is a $2.1 trillion economy. That's right - twelve zeroes," Morrison says. But is that right? Maths experts: wouldn't this be 11 zeroes, not 12 zeroes?

Scott Morrison implored reporters to “just look at the record”. So we did just that and found the claims by the prime minister and his senior ministers are either factually inaccurate, misleading, or lack context
Factcheck: the Coalition says Labor always ‘takes China’s side’, but are the parties’ positions so...

Also from Morrison's interview with Nine this morning: "But you know, who knows what their policies are. Because, you know, it's after COP26 now. We still don't know what their 2030 target is." Does Morrison not realise #COP26 hasn't actually finished yet?
