When the question is more important than the answer! @coadem


I am proud of my balanced coverage of this govt scandal & I credit Asher for her work leading the fight for victims. I think there should be space for dispassionate conversation about disagreements in any public discourse. Apparently that doesn't happen on X anymore.

@Asher_Wolf blocked me for (Who knows what exactly - Disagreeing with them? Defending my choice of words? Trying to understand the nature of their complaint?) over my robodebt reporting.

"But then they were like, ‘It’s really hard though, bc what do they want us to do? Go into the secretary’s office & say we’ve got legal advice advising this scheme’s illegal?’ Yes — we do want you to do this. It is your job!” @Coadem with @SquigglyRick themandarin.com.au/279568-robodeb…

Interesting question from @TheMandarinAU's @Coadem to @PatConroy1 yesterday on the disparity in #defence & #development resourcing. The Minister responded that "You have to do both... and use all tools of #statecraft to promote a safe and secure region". linkedin.com/embed/feed/upd…

Here's a link to the full clip from Insiders this morning. You need independents to make the government more ambitious and to make the opposition more ambitious, to make them better, to keep them honest, to make them strive to provide vision for the country. #auspol24
