Today I'm striking with my @SMH colleagues. We want a fair pay deal in line with inflation, which is not insane given our hard work, profits and growth -- and given how much the company is willing to throw at stars in Paris and bosses accused of misconduct.

David McBride raised his concerns internally. When they weren't addressed, he went to journalists. He's now the first person to be jailed over the war crimes - five years and 8 months for helping expose murder. Our whistleblower laws are terrible.

An awful story about a woman who fled from her husband who had been convicted five times of domestic abuse charges with her children, and now may be forced to come home thanks to international convention never designed to deal with DV.

I interviewed US tech billionaire @bryan_johnson about the longevity craze as his influence spreads to Sydney .

From @RLC__News, strip searches up to June of this year. Traumatising, unnecessary, and funded by NSW residents.

Brutal to see the voice outcome, but doubly brutal to hear why so many chose no. "I don't understand it," "there wasn't enough detail" as if we don't live in the age of information. Phrased as simplicity, Australians willfull ignorance was its downfall.

With all the rhetoric on dodgy land lands let's add the NSW Land and Housing Corporation to that list: those in public housing have been battling black mould for years .

Covering drug reform at Listen Out festival and a punter told me "I hope when I'm way older I'm still cool like you," which . hurt. There were over 250 police, four sniffer dogs and a lot of people getting searched for drugs they didn't have.

Advocates are rightly worried the warm weather at festival season will see history repeat itself as the government chooses sniffer dogs and police harassment over pill testing and drug reform.

Premier Minns said the government won't introduce pill testing ahead of festival season as "Illicit drugs are illegal," and "that’s been the case of the prev government". It's the same logic the liberals used to ignore expert advice during a spate of festival deaths.
