It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.

One of my readers has asked for my view on the proposed constitutional amendment to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. I will vote "yes." The Voice isn't enough, but it's better than nothing.

Media independence, and protection of journalists and whistleblowers, underpin the transparency and accountability of our government.
Enough is enough.
It's time to bring Julian Assange home.
