Anglicare’s rental affordability report contains two jaw dropping stats. A person on the Age Pension can only afford to rent 0.4% of properties. A person on the minimum wage can afford less than 1% of properties. That means most people in these two groups can’t afford a home.

Game changer. Today’s Operation Daintree IBAC report recommends Ministerial advisors be compellable to give evidence to parly committees. Who can forget the #ChildrenOverboard Inquiry? Report doesn’t seem to say if Vic Govt accepts this recommendation.

I’ve watched with growing dismay this week as @MilliganReports has been hammered over her speech to ACT Women Lawyers. It was 100% what was in her book, Witness, so it’s exactly what she was invited to come and say.

The ABC has restated how proud it is of her. Anyone who values the role the media should play in a Democracy will applaud the fact that she and the rest of that short list (and all the people on the long long list after that) are doing what we all need them to do.

This. Stops. Here. There’s no other rational response to this story. You won’t see a more important one this year. Just one of the appalling truths it reveals: 23% of women killed in this country are indigenous. #4Corners at its devastating best. iview.abc.net.au/show/four-c…
